The Giants could prove to be a hazardous football gambling rival, though NFL preseason odds have the Cowboys as the squad to defeat in the NFC East Division race.
The Philadelphia Eagles are something of a football gambling enigma while NFL preseason probabilities have the Redskins as a long shot in the division.
The Cowboys look to be peaking at the correct time as they concluded effective in 2009 to finish 11-5 straight up and 9-7 versus the spread and won a playoff game at Cowboys Stadium versus the Philadelphia Eagles before being eliminated out of the post season at Minnesota.
Head coach Wade Phillips has taken a more active role with the greater and more ambitious defense while Tony Romo is hitting his prime as a quarterback, helping Dallas to create a well balanced squad. In the course of a game against the Giants in the 2006 season, Romo replaced Drew Bledsoe as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback. He’s been chosen to the Pro Bowl 3 times and possesses a career passing rate of 95.6, which ranks the 3rd greatest of all time in the league. In the course of a November 2006 competition, he threw 5 touchdown passes in a game, which is a track record he shares with Troy Aikman, but beats Troy Aikman’s history in competitions with 300+ yards passing (24 versus Aikman’s 13). Dallas is a solid choice to win the NFC East at the very least, and they have been playing with more maturity.
The New York Giants have had quite a fall in NFL betting since their legendary Super Bowl win over New England in February of 2008 nonetheless they could be a team that is undervalued coming into the year. The Giants ended only 8-8 straight up in 2009 and covered just 6 competitions against the spread.
The defense was so poor that head coach Tom Coughlin had to change coordinators and improvement is anticipated. Eli Manning is an elite quarterback but an excessive amount of strain was placed on him a year ago. The Giants may be a valuable commodity with the football odds in 2010 if they can better diversify the offense and tighten up the defense.
The Eagles and Redskins are associated by more than their division this year as long time Eagle quarterback Donovan McNabb is now a Redskin.
Before their playoff debacle in Dallas, Philadelphia concluded 11-5 straight up and 9-7 versus the spread while Washington hit rock bottom at 4-12 straight up and 6-8-2 vs the spread.
After a very successful run at Denver, Mike Shanahan returns to coaching after a year off to lead the Redskins. Nevertheless the Redskins even now possess the problem of having to re-tool in too many areas, which is why they are a post season long shot with the NFL preseason odds. Owner Dan Snyder’s meddling is yet another chronic problem.
Coach Andy Reid commands respect in Philadelphia but the Eagles crash and burn finish and new quarterback do not motivate confidence with gamblers.
