Two weeks ago, I made a substantial wager for me (mid 4 figures), on the Dallas Cowboys to win the NFC east at odds of better than 3 to 1.

As a big Eagles fan, just typing out those words makes my skin crawl. Figuring the Cowboys will beat the Eagles in Dallas on Dec 24, I need the Cowboys to pick up one more game. Today is probably the best chance of that, with Eagles playing Tennessee and Dallas playing Indy.

Now that the day is here, I hate that I made this bet. I still think it is a strong bet, but I more or less have to be rooting against my team. Very unpleasant situation for me.
