I also like a 3* amount playing OVER the 1st half total. Utilizing the projections from the AiS Dallas is 64-16 OVER (+46.4 Units) the 1rst half total when both teams score 20 or more points since 1992; 40-15 OVER (+23.5 Units) the 1rst half total when both teams score 20 or more points since 1992.

The Dallas game plan will be ball control and will be established either by the run or the pass first. TO is now in Buffalo and Dallas does not have a true deep threat. Perhaps a good thing though as Romo’s best asset is his timing and accuracy and all of the receivers are ball control, sure handed types. Whitten is the best TE in football and he will be an integral part of the pass attack. I also believe Dallas will use him in post/fly patterns on the seams when TB shows 7 or more in the box. Marion Barber is a punishing runner and that style is augmented by an excellent OL and also the “slash” type RB in Felix Jones. Like a 3 headed monster, Dallas will be able to move the ball and score almost at will based on my research.

TB has Leftwich under center and many think Dallas will blitz and blitz more at the immobile QB. Yet, they truly can’t get away with that given that TB has deep threats in TE Kellen Windslow and WR Antonio Bryant. Look for Dallas to play a mostly zone scheme and not give up the big play. This scheme allows TB to also move the ball and score points. Take the OVER.
