ok let me start by saying that i am a 100 percent cowboys homer, but i also know football and dont think my team is always better than the opponent.
with that being said, i think you have to break this game down by the (in my opinion) keys of the game which are:
1. Blocking i have watched every cowboys game and i have watched just about every vikings game (becasue i like brett.) Im not to impressed with the vikings run blocking as of late, here you have IMO the best complete running back in the nfl and he is having average game and its because there is NO hole for him. They have been pass blocking average and if not for the quick throws and screens they would have many many sacks against them. However on dallas the blocking IMO has been extremely well, they have been running the ball with big holes and i know they are playing against a very stout run d i do see them running on the vikes. And the cowboys have been pass blocking great i mean you play against the eagles who blitz 70 percent of the time and they dont get big pressure on romo, that to me is impressive. Also romo's agility makes it hard to tackle him even if you get pressure on him. They will have to chip allen most of the game but thats fine becuase he is the only one i see getting pressure on romo. The advantage has to go to the cowboys
2. Pressure on the qb. THis goes back to the whole blocking thing, I do
not see the vikings getting to much pressure on dallas i really dont,...
