"Mexico’s Last Stand"

Dallas -3.5 At Atlanta 43

Week 15 did not begin auspiciously. OK, so it looks as if the Seahawks are in full "Choke" mode. They couldn’t stop the run and that does not augur well for their playoff hopes. Moving on to Saturday’s game, it would be reasonable to think that Dallas will blow into Hot ‘Lanta with a particularly foul disposition. The Saints not only beat them last week, they humiliated the Cowboys in the process. Dallas is not as bad as last week’s showing. The Falcons are "theoretically alive" in the playoff hunt, but with their running game in tatters and the ever-erratic "Ron Mexico" at the helm, it’s hard to figure out exactly what how Atlanta will play. Dallas will rebound.

Projected Final Score: Dallas 24, Atlanta 20.
