2009-11-01 - Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys
A Sports Betting Pick by Goober

Sunday Nov 1st 2009, Kickoff 1:00 PM EST
Dallas (4-2) is coming off an impressive win last Sunday against Atlanta. They were 4 pt favorites and won easily, 37-21. They were impressive in all aspects from start to finish.
The Cowboys have been helped by the introduction of WR Austin Miles into the starting lineup. He has scored 4 touchdowns in his first two starts and provided the spark the Cowboys have needed since the loss of Terrell Owens from last season.
Dallas is 3-3 against the spread this year, but have covered 2 of their 3 home games. Dating back to last year, Dallas has covered the spread in 6 of their last 8 home games.
Seattle (2-4) has lost 4 of their last 5 games after winning the opener. They have failed to cover the spread in 4 of 6 games as well. They have been beaten by 13 and 17 in their two road games.
They have been victim to many injuries, particularly on defense.
They are also unable to run the ball on offense with some injuries to the offensive line. This will allow Dallas to focus on the pass on defense.
Dallas has won 4 of the last 6 games between the two and five of those have been played in Seattle. Dallas has covered the spread in all 6 of those contests. Dallas beat Seattle 34-9 last year.
I can't see Seattle causing Dallas many problems in this game. They have been poor on the road. West coast teams traditionally have a very tough time playing an early game two or three timezones away.
