Second of two big road games and down one already. December in Miami isn't as bad as in Buffalo but weather of a different kind can creep up not to mention the grass field. Division is STILL up in the air and Detroit is looming at home beyond this one. What happens here though?

The point system
10 points - Picking the correct game winner​
6 points - Exact score bonus for getting both teams' scores exactly right​
3 points - Close score bonus for being within 3 points of both teams' scores​
2 points - Each bonus question​

To play this week, you give me this:

1. Dallas vs. Miami game score
2. Bonus 1: Predict the longest offensive play of the game (within 10 yards).
3. Bonus 2: Lamb or Hill: will either, both or neither get 100 yards receiving (name the either, if your choice)?
4. Bonus 3: Predict the total combined number of unused timeouts in the game (must be exact).

Picks are due by posted game time of 3:25 P.M. Central this Sunday. If you need to change any part of your pick, make a new post instead of editing your old one or your update won't count as I only go back to where I left off gathering entries.

Yep. I had bad feelings about both the SF and Buffalo games, but I just cannot bring myself to pick against the Boys. It’s stupid because there’s nothing riding on this contest but bragging rights. I never started an opponent’s player in FFL when they played the Cowboys either.

Is Dallas on the road? Check
Is Miami a good team? Check
Does Miami have a winning record? Check
Does Dallas have injuries at crucial positions? Check
Does Miami have a good running game? Check

I see little to nothing that would indicate Dallas has anything but a snowball's chance to win this game. (Assuming Hill is back, but really that just means Miami will win by a fairly significant margin).

Sorry to fell this way, but I picked the Bills to win last week as well for much of the same reasons, have to go with a Miami win.

Prove me wrong Dallas!
 
I was pretty sure they were going to lose 1 of these 2 road games. Figured it would be Buffalo.

This game reminds me of the Vikings game 2 years ago. Nobody expected Dallas to be able to compete, much less win. But compete and win they did. I expect the team to be focused and play well. The thing that scares me most are the officials. Either over officiating or a couple of questionable calls either way could be the difference.

I have my tin foil hat tightly secured to my head and I'm ready to predict the outcome of this game.

Cowboys are winning this game League will want buffalo and Miami to square off in the last game of the season for the AFC East.
Last week both the Cowboys and eagles had already secured playoff births League needed to add more drama by giving Seattle and buffalo a chance.

Only 17 games League wants to make sure everyone of them is important right down to the end of the season for maximum revenue.
