Week 14 - How 'bout them Cowboys!

Yuck! That's one word to describe the overtime loss against Arizona for the Dallas Cowboys. Just when you think Dallas has become the elite team expected of them, a moment that that sends them back into the dog house. Dallas probably would have won the game had head coach Jason Garrett not called a timeout just as kicker Dan Bailey was about to attempt a game-winning 48-yard field goal at the end of regulation. He was kicking the ball when the referees blew the whistle. On the second try, the ball kicked wide-left. Then in overtime, LaRod Stephens-Howling took a short pass from Kevin Kolb and scurried 52 yards down the sideline for the game winning touchdown. This Sunday night's game in Dallas against my Giants is for all the marbles. Another humiliating loss will probably cost Garrett his job. Last week, we got back to 10 wins head-to-head. Our against-the-spread record is looking like "Swiss Cheese" with all the ties being accumulated. With four weeks in the regular season, we're gunning for at least 60% percent.Last Week’s Results Against the Spread: 6-6-4Head to Head: 10-6Season to DateAgainst the Spread: 88-75-29Head to Head: 117-75 Odds Courtesy of OddsShark.com Thursday, December 8th Cleveland at PittsburghLine: Steelers by 14Smooth’s Pick – Pittsburgh (30-12) Sunday, December 11th Philadelphia at MiamiLine: Dolphins by 2½ Smooth’s Pick – Philadelphia (24-13) Tampa Bay at JacksonvilleLine: NoneSmooth’s Pick – Tampa Bay (20-14) Houston at CincinnatiLine: Bengals by 1½ Smooth’s Pick – Cincinnati (23-17) New Orleans at TennesseeLine: Saints by 3½ Smooth’s Pick – New Orleans (31-16) Atlanta at CarolinaLine: Falcons by 2½ Smooth’s Pick – Carolina (28-26) New England at WashingtonLine: Patriots by 9½ Smooth’s Pick – New England (32-14) Indianapolis at BaltimoreLine: Ravens by 17½ Smooth’s Pick – Baltimore (27-16) Kansas City at NY JetsLine: Jets by 10½ Smooth’s Pick – NY Jets (20-17) Minnesota at DetroitLine: None Smooth’s Pick – Detroit (24-13) Chicago at DenverLine: Broncos by 3½ Smooth’s Pick – Denver (17-10) San Francisco at ArizonaLine: Niners by 3½Smooth’s Pick – San Francisco (16-13) Oakland at Green BayLine: Packers by 12½ Smooth’s Pick – Green Bay (37-14) Buffalo at San DiegoLine: Bolt by 7½ Smooth’s Pick – San Diego (23-21) NY Giants at DallasLine: Cowboys by 3Smooth’s Pick – NY Giants (28-19) Monday, December 12th St. Louis at SeattleLine: NoneSmooth’s Pick – Seattle (18-13) Note: NCAA College Bowl Picks starts next week!!
