Washington Redskins @ Dallas Cowboys

Alex Smith has averaged 218 yards per game this season, with 10 TD's and 5 INTs. Nothing that impressive. The strength of this team isn't Alex Smith, it's their defense. Yes the Cowboys offense has improved since getting Cooper, but they are still an average offense at best facing a solid defense. 

Additionally, Jason Garrett has an opportunity to take a stronghold within the division with a win here. Regardless of the QB situation of the Redskins, I just don't trust Garrett one bit who isn't a very good coach. Redskins are 6-4 on the season, despite having more injuries to their offense this year than any other team in the league. I like them to play strong D and help them stay vastly competitive in this game.

Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions 

Trubisky being out doesn't deter the fact that the Lions are playing without two of their top play-makers against the best defense in the NFC. 
  • Redskins +7 (4x)
  • Cowboys Under 24 (1x)
  • Bears -2.5 -120 (2x)
  • Lions under 21 -115 (1x)
NFL YTD: 74-41 ATS +53.79 Units

Your picks scare me because I have the same picks except team totals, which I cannot do, because I cannot be right on all games.  Thank you for your service for all the board members.

Alex Smith is done for the year McCoy will be taking snaps.

I suspect that's why you're focused on the Wash D, but they will need to be on point of the Skins can't move the ball and fail to give them rest.

Mccoy knows the system very well and I think the Skins will do just fine. The majority will write the Skins off because of the back up QB situation but I like them to stay close or win SU.

Nice picks but I wish your Bears -2.5 was the high unit pick in place of Washington

This is the best Dallas has been, Amari Cooper has given a nice boost to the offense. And Colt McCoy may find it very difficult to move the ball on the stingy Dallas defense. 

On the other hand Chicago simply outclasses Detroit on offense and hugely on defense

Still looks like a nice card

You guys are idiots.

The whole reason he's bringing up Alex Smith is that people are putting too much emphasis into him being out, when in reality McCoy isn't much a downgrade as most perceive.  I rarely post, but man I see you in a lot of threads being annoying AF.  Your life must be extremely exciting.

Thank you for noticing...my life is extremely exciting...

But making an assessment on the game in the manner he did does seem to indicate either a complete disdain for the QB position in the NFL...or ...Alex Smith is a complete waste of QB flesh...or...his backup is so good there is no need to mention him...or...the Washington defense is the stuff of legends and they can play defense AND offense...

Oh..and about that "rarely post" thing you do...keep it up brutha...you are disappointing AF when you do post...

Yeah I agree on your take totally today I see the Cowboys/Skins a Fg win either way lean under. Da Bears will be fine with Daniels against the toothless Lions for one game. BOL
