Dallas quarterback Tony Romo is out indefinitely with a broken collarbone suffered in week two against the Eagles. He could return later this month against the Miami Dolphins. Brandon Weeden started three games but was benched in favor of Matt Cassel . Cassel will continue to start until Romo returns.

Weeden threw for 738 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions plus 30 rushing yards. Cassell has completed 57.7% of his passes for 324 yards with a touchdown and 3 interceptions, plus 5 carries for 47 rushing yards.  Romo threw for 551 yards with 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions before the injury, and also rushed for 11 yards.

Joseph Randle has 76 carries for 315 yards and 4 touchdowns, along with 10 catches for 86 yards. He was released this week due to some off the field issues.  Lance Dunbar had 67 rushing yards, but did have 21 catches for 215 yards before tearing his ACL. Christine Michael, acquired in a trade from the Seahawks, will get more carries without Randle.

Tight end Jason Witten has 38 catches for 360 yards and 2 touchdowns. Receiver Terrance Williams has 20 catches for 313 yards and 2 touchdowns. Cole Beasley has 22 catches for 214 yards.

Philadelphia is 7-1 ATS in November, 4-1 on fieldturf,  5-2 against teams with losing records, 6-13 after allowing more than 150 rushing yards, 3-7 against NFC teams and in week nine, and 5-15-1 after allowing more than 350 total yards. Four of the last five games in this series have gone under the total. The road team is 7-1 ATS in this series recently.

Dallas is 6-1 ATS after passing for less than 150 yards, 4-1 against teams with losing records, 5-12 against teams with losing road records, 4-11 in November, 1-4 at home and overall, 1-6 on fieldturf, and 0-5 in week nine. The underdog has covered the last six games in this series. The Cowboys are 4-1 ATS against the Eagles recently.

It was thought that the Dallas offense would improve once Cassell took over from Weeden. It hasn’t worked out that way. The defense is playing really well but the Cowboys simply can’t score. The Eagles are banged up on the offensive line and both tackles are making their first NFL start. Dallas should be able to get to Bradford with their pass rush. Still, I jsut can’t pick the Cowboys until Romo returns in a couple of weeks. The Eagles win a close low scoring game.
