I don't think anyone is projecting us to beat BAL but we did play PITT to the same 5 point margin BAL did.Not just because it's virtual lock that Jackson, Campbell, Ingram and Dobbins will all be back for the game against us but also because of that defense. That defense is nasty. Even with a bunch of guys missing they held up pretty well against the Steelers. Our offense has not shown the ability to really make hay against a good defense that can get pressure up the middle. Our best hope is that the guys who were out come back weakened by Covid. But to my knowledge those guys have not actually tested positive.. rather they have just been felled by contact tracing. This does not bode well for our boys.. and that's not even accounting for what Dez might do to our pathetic secondary.
Our awful defense allowed only 25 to PITT.
That BAL offense is abysmal even with LJ this year.
But we find unique and interesting ways to lose weekly and no one should be forecasting a W here for DAL.
All that said a W shouldn't be any real world shocker either. BAL offense is possibly bad enough to keep us in the game.
