3* NFL Late Afternoon *Marquee Matchup* on Cowboys +2

The Cowboys are a team that most of my long term subscribers know I rarely back. They are over-rated in the public's eyes so the value is often in fading them and not riding them, but that changes this week. For some reason this team isn't getting any respect after squeaking out two straight wins against the Eagles and Bengals. Yet Pitt is after losing three of their last four and getting thumped by 10 last week at home to a not very good San Diego squad. You want to go against favorites off double digit losses because more often than not instead of bouncing back, the league exposed a weakness other teams can take advantage of. That is definitely the case this week as I think Dallas getting points at home is a great play. The Cowboys are 31-13 ATS at home after having won three of their last four going back to 1992 and the Steelers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games.
