The Picks: Eagles at Cowboys

It’s that time of week. Time to man up and make your pick for this week’s game. Get it right, and your kids will get presents this year! YAY! A good parent always gambles enough to provide for the little ones. Here we go:

The Wife:
Cowboys.

Me: These are two teams with a rich and storied history of choking in the 21st century. They're MASTERS of soiling the bed. Someone is going to screw up at the end of this game. And shockingly, I don't think it's gonna be Andy Reid. This is the perfect setup for one of Tony Romo's patented choke jobs. It's really just a matter of how it's all gonna go down. Is Romo gonna throw eight picks in the final six minutes? Will Romo take a sack with no timeouts left? Or will Romo opt for a more subtle choke, like when he overthrew Miles Austin against the Giants? I can't wait to find out. It's like an early Christmas gift. SO EXCITING. EAGLES 33, COWBOYS 30. (2011 picks: 8-6)
