Perfect Play---Dallas
Who made this statement two months ago(other than WAR)? The Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys are two of the best teams in the National Football League.
Dallas has been winning games by reducing their turnovers and running the ball. Star running back DeMarco Murray is currently on pace to set the single season record for carries in a season. This may raise red flags with the Cowboys coaching staff but Dallas has been so good on the offensive line that he may be able to continue putting up numbers at this pace. With Romo suffering, what a better way to win a game than by having to run the ball with Murray? Running the ball is how Dallas wins. With Dallas off a loss, expect to see a major win this week while the Dallas pieces are still playing and not injured. TAKE DALLAS

Inner Circle---Houston.....NFL Upset of the Month
This is a bad spot for the Eagles to be a road favorite. The Texans have the defense to shut things down. There's always pressure to win on the road and even more pressure when you're coming off a road loss as Philadelphia is after last week at Arizona.
The Eagles are still 5-2 on the season and sitting in second in the NFC East. But it is hard in Philly to see the positives after that loss on Sunday.
Houston is 4-4 on the year after last week’s victory over the Titans in Tennessee, and are second in the AFC South. The Texans have a stout running game led by Arian Foster. Houston is fifth in the league in rushing. Can there be a better 1-2 punch than a good rushing attack and a great defense? We think not!! TAKE HOUSTON

Pinnacle---Miami.....NFL Favorite of November
What a mess the Chargers have made since their bye week. They can't seem to get things going.
San Diego will be looking to regroup after losing two straight games to Kansas City and Denver. They lack the offensive balance needed to stay at the top.
The Chargers offense ranks 8th in passing, 30th in rushing, and 10th in scoring at 25.6 points per game.
The Miami Dolphins come into this contest needing to secure a home victory to stay in the AFC Playoff hunt. Miami has won two consecutive road contests against Chicago and Jacksonville and are hoping to keep that momentum going at home where they play extremely hard.
Miami ranks 8th in total defense and 11th in scoring defense at 21.6 points per game.
Additionally, west coast teams that come east usually have difficulty with the early start time. Great spot for Miami to continue their momentum. TAKE MIAMI
