Realistic Cowboys Vikes Write-up

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, i could be wrong but i just dont see it, romo has the quickest release in the nfl. I do think the cowboys will put pressure on farve, with ratliff ware and spencer thats tough to stop. the advantage here goes to dallas ( and this is just how they are playing right now)

To me, the Key Matchup will be Flozell vs. Jared Allen!!

and jared will kill flozell .. dont hate on NC because he gave his opinion whether they suck or not .. i dont like either team but from a betting point of view im going with minny .. its tough too win there and im not a believer in dallas because they won there first playoff game since the 90's .. it will be a great game either way and bol too all

This will be a great football game. Both teams have their ups and downs. It's a proven fact that Romo can't function when he is under pressure. They have to stop Jared Allen. Dallas defense has to be on point. Vikes have the total package if Bret is on. Vikings will win.

Vikings win this game...if for nothing else it's because all I hear is Dallas,Dallas Dallas...Two weeks to prepare and get healthy with all those hungry vets on Minny (see todays blowouts). I lay my money down on the home team and ride the purple train for a sunday afternoon

GL to all and enjoy yourselves..should be a good one

Wow, at least you admit you're a complete homer before giving your 100% bias opinion... I was rooting for the cowboys until I read this article, now I want them to win so you look like an idiot (in my opinion)

as a saints fan, i'd rather vikings win tomorrow, but i can't decide who's going to win...

i'm leaning vikings, but that may be my bias. looks like it could go either way. one thing i hate betting -2.5 at -120. i'd rather take vikings ML at -140, but the boys even odds for +2.5 looks enticing. and they could easily blow out the vikes. i only hesitate because the vikes are so great at home. thanks for the input. i appreciate all the smart cappers on here.
