Washington did Dallas a big favor last Saturday by defeating Philadelphia, snapping a six-game skid to win its first game since Oct. 27, when it defeated Dallas 20-17 in overtime. DeSean Jackson had 136 receiving yards in that contest and is coming off another big game, having racked up 126 yards against his former team last weekend. Robert Griffin III, despite a mildly sprained shoulder, will get one final start to audition for 2015 as he enters Week 17 with three touchdowns and four interceptions during another injury-plagued season. “I think it’s obvious I have a great respect for Robert and what he does,” coach Jay Gruden said. “I think everybody has a genuine respect for what he does as a football player and what he’s gone through. He’s just got to continue to build off his performance.”
In their last action, Washington was a 27-24 winner at home against the Eagles. They covered the +7-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (51) was profitable news for PUSH bettors.

Last Sunday’s 42-7 rout of Indianapolis featured big performances from Tony Romo (18-of-20, four touchdowns) and Jason Witten (seven catches, 90 yards, TD). During the three-game winning streak, Romo has 10 touchdowns without an interception and has completed 79 percent of his passes. “He’s the MVP,” said receiver Dez Bryant, who caught his league-leading 14th touchdown last weekend. “Look at the performance. He’s giving ’em hell in December. Icing on the cake. Give it to him. He’s doing a hell of a job.” Playing with a surgically-repaired left hand, DeMarco Murray ran for a season-low 58 yards and managed 2.6 yards per carry for the second straight week, although he did find the end zone for the fifth time in his last four games.
Last time out for Dallas, they were a 42-7 winner as they battled the Colts at home. The Cowboys covered in the match as a -3-point favorite, while 49 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.
