Sportsbook Review: "With 65 points being scored here last year in this game and Romo (36/45, 356 yards, 3 TDs, 2 Interceptions, 85.9 QBP) and Bradford (36/52, 336 yards, TD, 2 Interceptions, 77.1 QBR) both throwing the pigskin so much, and both teams' DBs still somewhat suspect, this one could be 17-17 at halftime and the over seems like our NFL pick."
Predicted Final Score: Philadelphia Eagles 31 Dallas Cowboys 27
