Tomorrow's game is the biggest game of the season thus far and I am damn happy that my dorm has the NFL Network. With that sai, it is time to break down the teams.
Offense: Dallas and Green Bay are both in the Top 3 offensively, Dallas being 2nd and Green Bay being 3rd. The quarterbacks are evenly matched, despite Brett Favre's experience. The difference comes at the running game. Ryan Grant has done an amazing job in Green Bay since he came in. However, Dallas has the Two-Headed monster of Speed( Julius Jones) and Power( Marion Barber III). The difference will be in the running game and I feel that Dallas is more potent on the ground. Edge: Dallas. Key Match-up: Flozell Adams on Aaron Kampman.
Defense: Green Bay is 5th in points allowed per game at 16.8 whilst Dallas is tenth at 20.1. The defenses are rather even with Green Bay allowing 20 more yards rushing per game and that can be bad news for Dallas but Dallas will have just as much of a problem with Green Bay's passing game. Edge: Push. Key Match-up: Al Harris on Terrell Owens.
Special Teams: Nick Folk and Mason Crosby are just as good as any kicker in the league with Crosby leading the league in scoring and Folk 3rd behind Crosby and Randy Moss. The teams are even in the return game with each team's returner averaging 23.6 on kick-offs. Edge: Push.
Location: Texas Stadium is not the best place to play for road teams, especially when Dallas is 10-1. The atmosphere will be very electric and Brett Favre has never won in Dallas in eight attempts. Edge: Dallas.
I think the game will be high scoring. but Dallas' run game and home field propels them to a victory.
Dallas 37
Green Bay 27
