    the cowboys are going to have to figure out a way to win a couple of these tough road games coming up or they are going to be dead in the water a month from now.

    This is a statement game for the Cowboys. They need a big road win to get back on track. A loss here could send them reeling. With that said I have no confidence in Tony Romo here. Ravens should romp.

    usually Dallas is expected to lose a game like this, but they end up winning it.

    I'm not sure thats the case here

    Ravens better play like they did at the end of the game with the Patriots to win this game. A lackluster performance like they had against the Browns and worse against the Chiefs will result in a loss.

    1. IMO, Flacco can't pass very well on the run. So, the Cowboys are going to have to turn up the blitz a notch.

    2. The Cowboys have to stick with the running game. Running it 16 times won't get the job done. KC ran it 46 times for 200 yards, so I think the Ravens running defense can be had.

    Yeah. Eventually 46 rushes wears down a defense. So, if they hand it to Murray, then they can move it. But even with that said, didn't score a lot of points. Flacco has weapons and the Cowboys have to slow them down to stand a chance. Its hard to predict this game given the up and down playing of the Ravens as of late.

    Here's another important number. The Cowboys are 16-7 coming off a bye week.

    True.. But the Ravens are like 400-0 at home against NFC opponents. :p

    I think the Cowboys will show a little more life Sunday. But the end result will not be good for us. :(

    Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are not as young as they used to be. I'm not as worried about this game as I was the Seattle game.

    The Ravens have committed the most penalties in the AFC this season. I think the Cowboys pull this one out somehow. Am I the only one here who feels that way?

    I feel it is possible.. Just not likely.

    I would love to be wrong.

    no, i have heard a lot of people picking the cowboys to win this game.

    Not in this place. As of yesterday when I voted, I was the only one who voted Cowboys. Whatever happened to keeping the faith?

    no, it doesn't sound like a lot of people are picking them here but i've heard a fair amount of the talking heads on t.v. and radio taking the cowboys based upon the fact that this is the type of game that the cowboys would win (after many have buried them and thrown away the shovel).

    i don't think it's outlandish to think the cowboys could win this game. in fact, if it were on a neutral field, it might be somewhat of a toss-up. however, the big advantage obviously has to go to the ravens on their home field. they are a LOT better on their home field............ very hard to beat.

    if the ravens play like they normally do at home, the cowboys will literally have to play their best game in all aspects to win.
