NFL Pick Of The Day – Seahawks @ Cowboys – Who Covers The Spread
Thursday, November 27th, 2008Happy Thanksgiving to all our members and guests. Even though many of us are suffering from one of the worst economic downturns on record, we all still have much to be thankful for. One of the things we are most thankful for is football on TV all day long. FiveStarPick.com is back on another hot streak winning 6 of our last 7 and we are excited about our two member plays today. The first of which pairs the Seattle Seahawks with the Dallas Cowboys. Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Cowboys as 12-point home favorites with the total set at 47.
Dallas (7-4 Straight Up, 5-6 Against The Spread) is an icon on Thanksgiving Day. In addition, they have a 25-14-1 record with the Turkey dating back to 1966. What’s more, Dallas has cashed in five straight head-to-head matchups against the Seahawks and in all 5 wins, the Cowboys were an underdog going into every game.
Now, we know what’s on your mind…is Tony Romo healthy? Romo is back from a broken pinkie and led his team to a much needed win over the Redskins last week. His return was somewhat shaky throwing for only 198 yards, 1 TD and 2 INT, but on the season Romo has an 18/7 touchdown-interception ratio. Our contacts in the Cowboy locker room say that Romo looked very sharp in practice and should be 98% come game time.
Seattle (2-9 SU, 4-6-1 ATS) believes they are getting closer to their third win of the season and many top handicappers are saying that the double-digit points are too many to give a 2-9 team this late in the NFL season. According to inside sources, tensions are high in the Seahawks locker room. Their last 3 games have been lost by an average margin of 3.7 PPG, but Seattle’s bigger problem is that they are league worst in many important stat categories. Since Week 5 the Seahawks have been out-gained by their opponents at a staggering 186.8 YPG.
The X Factor in this game will be Seattle Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. Hasselbeck is recovering from nerve problems in his back and has looked erratic since his return. What’s more, his completion percentage since his return is only 54.3% and to add insult to serious injury, he has thrown a whopping 5 interceptions. Seattle is allowing 401.7 passing YPG and if Romo is sharp, the Cowboys will have us sleeping before the Turkey does.
