The Gridiron Spotlight<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bored to tears from watching this Hayley<\/span> Kissel<\/span> brother’s movie? There are plenty of great bets today to watch and win back your manhood. <\/p>\n

Tony Romo<\/span> is slated to return to action on Sunday night as the Dallas Cowboys play on the road against the division-rival Washington Redskins. The ‘Boys haven’t exactly fared well since Romo<\/span> went on the shelf, but they’re still at 5-4 on the season.<\/span> Of course, they haven’t been a lucrative betting option at just 3-6 ATS through nine games. The ‘Skins are just one game up on Dallas<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> at 6-3 on the season, with a 5-4 ATS record.<\/p>\n

Dallas<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> is pegged as a 1.5-point road favorite for Sunday, thanks mostly to Clinton Portis<\/span>‘ injured knee. The other two NFC East contenders are also in action on Sunday, with Philadelphia<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> at Cincinnati<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY>, and the first-place Giants hosting Baltimore<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY>.

Standings leader Jimmie Johnson only needs to avoid a disaster on Sunday to claim his third straight Cup championship; he enters this race with a 141-point lead on Carl Edwards for first place.<\/p>\n

Edwards, though, is the 7\/2 Vegas favorite to win the Ford 400, with Johnson, Kyle Busch, and Greg Biffle<\/span> all at 7\/1 odds. Matt Kenseth<\/span> sits just behind that top group at 8\/1 odds, with Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin both at 12\/1 odds to pick up the victory.<\/p>\n
