Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys (*Survivor Pool Lock of the Week*)

I’m saving my “Lock of the Week” for Monday Night Football this week. The Cowboys have looked like the best team in the NFL for the past several weeks and I can’t see a 2-5 Redskins team lead by Colt McCoy changing that. Washington has actually fared pretty well against the run, but have left something to be desired against the pass. This may be the game where Tony Romo and Dez Bryant go off and carry the load for DeMarco Murray (who has been amazing). Would you pick Colt McCoy to win a shoot out with Tony Romo in Dallas? I just can’t see it happening.

Redskins 20
Cowboys 30

So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, your game predictions for week 8 of the NFL season. Are there any games that you feel strongly that I got wrong? I’d love to hear why in the comments below.

Thanks for reading.
