Gambling911.com can reveal that online gambling website, Sportsbook.com, intends to offer a separate betting line on this upcoming weekend Divisional Playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants that incorporates the Jessica Simpson/Tony Romo factor. Just as injuries and weather will occasionally shade a line, the chances of quarterback Tony Romo's new girlfriend, Jessica Simpson, showing up at the game could significantly cause the Dallas Cowboys odds to blow up more than Jessica's boobs. The "Jessica Simpson Jinx" has now been well documented. The last game Simpson appeared at, Romo struggled all game, throwing three interceptions and fumbling the ball twice as his heavily favored Cowboys lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 10-6. At one point, the network even showed a montage of Simpson, 27, spliced with shots of Romo's bad throws. As commentator Joe Buck noted, "It's never easy to play in front of your girlfriend." Even Cowboys star wide receiver, Terrell Owens, voiced his disapproval of Simpson's appearance at games. But an AOL survey found that 57% of respondents would like to see Jessica Simpson appear at this weekend's Divisional Playoff against the New York Giants "She should be welcomed and propped in clear view of her man, Tony Romo," commented Gambling911.com's own Tyrone Black, a Giants fan. The two lovebirds are enjoying a romantic getaway in Mexico, which could also prove to be detrimental to Romo's performance this coming weekend. Currently Sportsbook.com is offering betting odds of Dallas -7 1/2 on the game. A line of -6 1/2 with a Jessica Simpson appearance could be likely before the day is over but gamblers will not be able to bet both lines. ---- Christopher Costigan, Gambling911.com Publisher CCostigan@CostiganMedia.com Originally published January 7, 2008 12:11 pm EST
