NFL Week 8 Picks: Dallas Cowboys Are Perfect Underdogs with Jason Garrett

Jeff GrantOct 25, 2011

The Dallas Cowboys (3-3) travel to take on the Philadelphia Eagles (2-4) Sunday night inside Lincoln Financial Field and early wagers have been flying in on the visitors.

Head coach Jason Garrett is 14 games into his NFL coaching career, taking over for Wade Phillips at the midway point during the 2010 campaign, but he's cashed every ticket when getting points.

Las Vegas oddsmakers have established the Cowboys as field-goal underdogs in NBC's prime-time event featuring NFC East rivals.

The former Princeton University quarterback has registered a perfect 6-0 against-the-spread record as an underdog.

Dallas has already stayed within the betting odds in two high-profile games earlier this year, dropping road contests when getting 6.5 points against New York Jets (27-24) and New England Patriots (20-16).

Series numbers suggest the trend will continue, with "America's Team" covering the last five meetings, while the side receiving points has come away with the cash in 10 of 14 opportunities.

Garrett is likely to feature rookie running back DeMarco Murray, coming off a franchise-record 253 rushing yards in a 34-7 win over the St. Louis Rams, facing an Eagles stop unit that ranks 23rd in the league in stopping the run.

It's a fascinating divisional matchup when factoring in Philadelphia's perfect 12-0 record following a bye week in the regular season under Andy Reid.

Place your bets.
