Football Betting – Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys

Football betting for Week 2 of the 2008 NFL season concludes on Monday as the Philadelphia Eagles visit the Dallas Cowboys in a game that can be seen on ESPN. These two teams are thought of as serious contenders in the NFC and the winner of this game will have a leg up in the NFC East. The Cowboys will be the NFL betting favorite in this matchup. Football betting stats show that the Eagles were 6th in the league in offense last season and 10th in defense. That was only good enough for an 8-8 record though and much better things are expected this year. Adding Asante Samuel was a huge off-season move that makes the Eagles much tougher in the secondary. The key for the Eagles will be getting enough offense on a regular basis to compete with a powerful offense like Dallas. That means that running back Brian Westbrook and quarterback Donovan McNabb will need to have big games according to football betting experts. They will be facing a Dallas defense that ranked 9th in the league according to NFL betting stats. Adding Adam “Pacman” Jones will improve a secondary that ranked 13th last year against the pass according to NFL betting stats. The Cowboys also added linebacker Zach Thomas according to football betting information and he could improve the run defense.

The Cowboys are led by quarterback Tony Romo and receiver Terrell Owens. The key in this game according to football betting information may be the running of Marion Barber. He can open up the game and give Romo additional options on offense. Last season the Cowboys ranked 3rd overall in the league according to NFL betting stats.
