Cowboys win and they're in. Who'da thunk it? Can they seal the deal?

The point system
10 points - Picking the correct game winner
5 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 - Bonus question 1 (usually more skill than luck)
2 points - Bonus question 2 (usually more luck than skill)​

To play this week, you give me this:

1. Dallas vs. Tampa game score
2. Bonus 1: Who will have more combined catches; Mike Evans/Humphries or Amari Cooper/Zeke?
3. Bonus 2: Will Dallas have over/under/exactly 4 punts?

Picks are due by posted game time of 12:00 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.

Where are people getting the notion we're suddenly a high powered offense going out and scoring 30+?

All I know is that they need to seal the deal and not let the Skins or Eagles even have a shot.

I honestly wouldn't like our odds if the Giants got to play spoiler.

The offense is in shambles and simply cannot score points. The defense was shoved all over the field last week and it seems that rumors of them becoming an “elite” unit were a gross exaggeration. I’m going to go with my head and the recent past history that has Garrett’s Cowboys being woefully underwhelming in games where something big is at stake. As always, I look forward to being proven wrong in these dire predictions.

I will not predict the score because if I do I will jinx the Cowboys. But I will predict the Cowboys will darn near give me a heart attack on Sunday at around 4pm Eastern Time Zone.

I concur. The NYG will basically be feasting on a dead carcass if the Cowboys don’t beat Tampa Bay. I would expect a complete wipeout type of game where the NYG look like an offensive juggernaut...immediately followed by a major house-cleaning by Mr. Jones in order to keep the illusion alive.

Im normally pessimistic but this is the most confident Ive felt about an impending win all year, I didnt feel good about last week but didnt expect to be shutout and just downright whipped.....So I think the players and coaches both will be keyed in and ready to take the Division.......

Us- 38
Bucs- 17


Also I think Wash. and Philthy's lil magic from last week gets ended quick, so Bottom line everything went wrong last week, everything will go right this week....

Not very confident about what we do in the playoffs though, shockingly......

Getting 30+ is going to take defensive and/or special teams scores or several collapses in the Tampa Bay secondary. When it comes to points, this offense is constipated. The best chance for victory is a low-scoring knife fight kind of a game where the offense has to do very little.

Cowboys will come out mad and focused. Hold Tampa to 6 points until a fourth quarter TD in garbage time.

Cowboys 31 Buc 13

Cooper/Elliott

Over 4
