Prediction Time

[Copperhead]

Cowboys 37
Raiders 28

Moss catches 2 tds
Porter 1 td but its not enough to beat the Boys.

Julius finally breaks 100 yards and rushes for two tds.
Our defense will int Collins for a td.

[MichaelWinicki]

We're going to take a hellacious beating. This board will be like a morgue come next week. We'll cringe at the level of despair. Perhaps one or two will take their own lives and become Skin's fans. It will get ugly.

[roughneck266]

34 31 Boys, Collins will begin to cry with Ware sitting on his chest screaming "who's yer daddy?" Randy Moss will be hospitalized with menstral cramps.

[Ashwynn]

I have no idea anymore. I dunno if our defense can pitch a shutout, I dunno if we will score 35 or 15. I am gunna drop out of the prediction business, I have been horribly wrong. The one game I thought we would win 28-0 - we lost.

I think we will win, but with Moss and Porter, I have no idea what they will score. could be 0 could be 35.

Cowboys: win, Score: I dunno.

ps. I did not think we would be scoring 25 a game either at this point, pleased as punch we are. But this team will take me a lot longer to figure out their scoring tendencies.

[Doomsday101]

I think the Cowboys will win and I also think the Defense will do a good job this weekend.

Baby Canada has predicted a win of 24-17.

[morasp]

Cowboys 24 Raiders 10

Running game takes it outside. Passing game continues to light it up with no one person to key on. Pile plays the nickel defense at safety and Ware continues to become more of a playmaker with two sacks.

[The Fonz]

Baby Canada has predicted a win of 24-17.
I love babay canada hey just keep feeding him

[followthestar]

it IS difficult to guess what this game will look like, but i think i have some idea of what this team is capable of. we can shut down the run i believe. we can limit Moss and Co. to 2 TDs. and we can score 30 points. throw in a couple FGs for them and you get 30-20. that sounds about right.
i'm also waiting for Ware to impact the opposing QB, but i have no idea when his breakout game will come. i hope its this one, and with the threat of Moss i think we'll put a lot of pressure on Collins. mark me down for 5 sacks - 2 1/2 by Ware...

[Tobal]

I predict the first time the Raiders complete a pass Ware and Spears will be deemed busts.

[cwbyfan72]

Tough one fellas, like all of them this year. I hate to think of Moss destroying us again, but it sure looks like that could be the case. Our offense keeps us alive 28-24.

[canters]

If JJ get around 135-150yds., we win 27-21

If they shut JJ down, we lose 31-21.

[TruBlueCowboy]

The realist in me says the Raiders pick up on a weakness in our secondary that other teams have been having some fun with, only they drive a stake in it with Moss and Porter. The realist says that Bledsoe and company put up an admirable performance with one of the best Cowboys offenses in recent years, but can't match a team that may be 0-3, but has already had to play great opponents such as the Patriots and Eagles, and is looking for one of those "must win games."

The homer in me says that Parcells and staff whip this defense into shape quickly, fix our safeties that can never cover squat, give Henry some new found confidence, adjust the defense and put Newman on the enemy's best receiver, and that with a win after one of the most demoralizing losses in team history, they are back on track. The homer in me also says that the front seven puts on a brilliant demonstration of rushing the passer, especially with some of the rookies like Canty, Ware and Spears stepping up, and helps that secondary get some new confidence. The homer also says that Bledsoe starts getting even more attached to those veteran receivers, is starting to gain his old self back, and throws for almost 400 yards, trying to keep up with any mistakes the defense makes.

I hope the homer is right. :)

I like the homer

[Dallas4ever]

The Raiders offense is a huge threat but their defense is very vulnerable. It's gonna be tough beating them in their house in a must win game. The Raiders are literally in a corner. They lose this game and Norv could lose the team. The Cowboys poor performance in coverage last week will serve as great motivation to prove that their better that what they showed. I expect both teams to have success on offense but the Cowoys defense is better and will get more stops in the end.

[Portland Fanatic]

27-24 Boys...Moss will get his, but in the end we will pull it out in the last two minutes :cool:

[Justis]

24-14 Boys. Give Randy his two touchdowns. But Collins is gonna get hit, alot. Our offense will do nothing but please under this terrible secondary, Julius will have an average game.

[DipChit]

It's a really tough game to call, at least for me because I have no clue how our defense is going to perform.

But the good news is, it seems like for the first time in a really long time theres no reason to think we cant score a lot of points of our own. It had been so frustrating to watch us move it ok between the 20's only to come to a brick wall. Knowing the only legit chance we had to win was by holding a team to under 20 points. Theres no shortage of offenses where that thought wasnt very comforting.

Not that Collins and co. are quite the offense to figure they score 30 against a weaker defense just by showing up, but they're just as capable of it as we are.

This game might well come down to whichever team misses the fewest FG's (even if very few are attempted) since neither guy exactly inspires confidence.

[jazzcat22]

I think it will be a tough hard fought game, again, but we find away to win this one 23-20.
Larry Allen lifts Cortez above his head and carries him off the field in celebration of a last second game winning 53 yard FG.
They then become best friends for life.

[Vertigo_17]

THis might be really ugly...

[Justis]

I think what many people don't realize, is that the Raiders aren't a good team. They were terrible last year, and only made a single off-season improvement. While I have tempered my enthusiasm, I don't think it's out of the question for us to beat this inferior team.

[baj1dallas]

Cowboys 28, Raiders 27.

Collins will have a pick and a fumble. Bledsoe either zero or one meaningless pick. JJ rushes for 120+ yards. Raiders have a chance to win (multiple probably) but blow them with penalties and dumb mistakes.

I agree but I also know a wounded dog can still take your hand off if you’re not careful. Raiders have their back against the wall heading into this game and Dallas will have to be on top of their game to get out of town with a win. For the year I agree Raiders could be in for a big let down but this 1 game is a dangerous game given the current situation in Oakland

Our "D" is a wounded dog right now too. They're taking alot of abuse, especially the secondary. I look for them to show up and play well, very well too...

[Zman5]

Cowboys 31 Raiders 30

We win because Janokowski(?sp) misses an extra point with 2 seconds left.

[aceware94]

Raiders 34 Cowboys 24. Moss will have 2 TD's, Porter will have 1, and Lamont Jordan will have 1. JJ has a big day but it's not enough. I think too many "mental errors" and a few TO's make us lose the game. I just don't think there headz are in it this week, too much distraction staying on the west coast and too much looking ahead to the Eagles. That's what I think will happen, personally I hope it's 55-3 Cowboys but that's just me!!

[Cowchips]

I see a breakout week for the Defense and a 31-14 victory. This is a Bill Parcells defense, he won't let them keep stinkin' it up.

[Qwickdraw]

[Seven]

I'm worried about Sapp and the other fat dude next to him. Sapp has to be the most over-rated DT in the league. However, every once in awhile, he comes to play. When he does that he's a pain in the arse. AJ may have his hands full. Better use Gurode on the run plays.
I can't predict. When I do, the opposite happens. When I realize the opposite is happening I go with the opposite and then the opposite happens again.

[walt_a_s]

I think that this will be a closer game than a lot of us think and not as high scoring. If the two teams continue to play to form, I see a 24-21 score with the winner being the team with the fewest mistakes. As much as I want us to win, I see a stoked up Raider team and fans sneaking this one out on a noise related mistake late in the game. I sincerely hope I am wrong but we will see.

[Chocolate Lab]

Our "D" is a wounded dog right now too. They're taking alot of abuse, especially the secondary. I look for them to show up and play well, very well too...
Exactly. I don't think we've played a complete game yet. Sure, they could blow us out, but maybe this is the week we really hit on all cylinders?

I still think we're way overdue for a score on defense, or a punt block, or a return for TD... Or maybe this is the week Ware puts it together.

[tigertrac]

Every since the Cowboys did not draft him, Moss has ALWAYS lit up the Cowboys for big games. I expect Sunday to be no different, with him having 6 - 8 catches for 120+ yards and coring two TDS against our soft in the middle pass defense. However our offense has shown its potency and is capable of making up large deficits in a hurry. With more of a running back by committee approach, I think we try to run the ball down their throat for ball control to keep Moss & Co off the field. Final Score - Cowboys 31 - Raiderettes 27.

[TheSkaven]

We're going to take a hellacious beating. This board will be like a morgue come next week. We'll cringe at the level of despair. Perhaps one or two will take their own lives and become Skin's fans. It will get ugly.Naw Michael, that was the week following the Skins game. We expected to beat them. Most posters here have marked this game down as an L... including me.

[Champsheart]

I just can not predict this game. I have no idea or feeling what is going to happen. I see several different scenarios that could play out.

The one thing I really do not like is the Raiders are 0-3, and are playing at home. They are desperate, and have some talent. I always hate when we have to play a team under these circumstances.

I just have no idea what will happen.

Though I don't care for the matchup or how this game lines up, I don't think we will play that badly. Still...

Oakland 31

[CooterBrown]

I hate to pick against the Cowboys, it just doesn't feel right, but I think we'll lose this one and may lose it big.

Randy Moss always plays great against the Cowboys. And, in 2003 Turner was Miami's off. coordinator when he and Jay Fiedler destroyed Zimmer's smoke and mirror defense on Thanksgiving. With Collins, Moss, Porter, and Jordan, this might be a long day.

On the plus side for the boys, Payton was Collin's Off. Coordinator in NY and should know his strengths and weaknesses pretty well. That may help, but I don't think it will help enough.

wow what a game this will be we will try to cantain moss he will have an average day i cee oaklands other recievers doing better then moss as cowboys d will focus on moss i cee dallas d finaly showing up and playing well kollens will make mistakes cowboys will establish the run game and try and keep oaklands offense off the field cowboys will try to use as much clock as possible buy getting the running game going i cee it being 24 to 17 dallas not saying i know it all just imop

[dargonking999]

i say a shoot out, JJ 100 yards and a TD Bledsoe 400 yards 4 td's (he loves the 4 this game)

38

34

cowboys win, defense once again after letting the team out of the gates early once agian stifen in the foruth quarter

(in the two wins zero points given up, 3 INT's in the fourth quarter)

[CactusCowboy]

Raiders backed against a wall, I say they win....21-17

[Da Hammer]

I dont know why but i feel good about this game, even though i know Moss will kill us i believe we win. 35-24 Cowboys
Bledsoe goes 30-38 for 350 yards 4 tds, J. Jones goes over the 100 yards and 1td

[Bizwah]

History means nothing in football......or says Bill Parcells. But the Raiders are one of the few teams that owns an all-time edge against us.

This one has the potential to turn ugly either way. I think we have the firepower to beat them on offense. I also think our defense has yet to play to its potential. We can beat them soundly.

Unfortunately, the Raiders are a desperate team. They've lost tough games to the Pats, Chiefs, and Eagles....all good teams. We're definitely their easiest game so far. They'll see this as a very "winnable" game. When teams are desperate two things can happen......they can fold....OR....they can play "lights out".

I think they'll play "lights out".

Raiders 41

Cowboys 21

The legend of Randy Moss continues to grow.

[BledsoetoWittenfortheTD]

originally i saw this game being a loss before the season started, but that was due to my own ignorance in thinking the raiders were going to be a contender. They very well be the best 0-3 team in the NFL, but after this week they will have to be content with being the best 0-4 team. Bledsoe is going to have another huge day in what might be another cardiac cowboy finish and I like JJ to finally crack the 100 yard mark...

If we win this game I'll be very very impressed.

[MikeD17]

The Raiders are going to get some PI CALLS going deep and they will probably hit a couple dee throws as well . but infractions , mental mistakes , cost the raiders the game


dallas will be able to move the ball on there swiss cheese secondary.

dallas 27 - raiders 13.

Raiders have one td called back on holding penalty, collins fumbles inside the redzone etc. jano misses a 45 yarder.


Cowboys win and dont turn over the ball all game.raiders have 2 to's :starspin
