The Washington Redskins had been competitive for five straight games until internet betting cappers saw them get rolled on Monday Night Football. Less than a week later, they host another NFC East team that is sure to be jacked up after defeating the New Orleans Saints.

Redskins, who were 2-3 in their last five games with their three losses coming by a combined seven points, hosted the New York Giants on Monday and were crushed 45-12. Their quarterback Jason Campbell was knocked around and sports wagering cappers saw something they have never seen before with head coach Jim Zorn calling a bizarre trick play at the end of the first half.

Sports wagering experts know that the Redskins are already focusing towards 2010 but the team they host this week, the Dallas Cowboys, is very focused on this specific game. The Redskins just finished hiring their new general manager in recent weeks and are in the process of interviewing potential head coaches for the job that will be vacant at the end of the year.

For the Cowboys, a win against the Redskins means that they will be heading to the playoffs. They are coming off a win against the Saints, who were previously undefeated, so they should be confident.

This should be an interesting matchup when you evaluate how much rest each team will have. The Cowboys are the better team in this game, they are healthier and they will have more than a week to prepare after playing on Saturday last week. Meanwhile, the Redskins are the weaker team, they are riddled with injuries and they have one less day to prepare for this game since they played on Monday.

Normally, the Cowboys would have the short end of the stick as this is their second consecutive road game and the Redskins will be playing their second straight at home, but the rest factor should even things out.

The Betting Verdict :

The Cowboys are playing well and after a couple of tight losses to quality teams to start December, they got a big win in New Orleans.

Playing Washington should be a cinch for the Cowboys. This is just a matchup of two teams with very different mindsets right now.
