First team to 30 wins. I hope it is Dallas but I am scared of this defense against Luck.

Luck makes me nervous also. I think the Cowboys would be wise to use a similar defensive game plan that they used against Wilson and Sanchez. Create that picket fence up front and don't over-pursue on the edges. Luck can hurt you with his feet if he has to.

One thing that is being overlooked about Luck this season is that he is a turnover waiting to happen. The Colts have been the beneficiary of racking up wins in a division full of bottom feeders. They were almost trying to give the game away to the Texans last week. The only "good teams" they've beaten were Baltimore and Cincinnati. And, it took an almost miracle to beat a Cleveland Browns team, by one point, who's QB played one of the worst games of his career. Don't get me wrong, we've lost to some good teams also but we haven't been plastered like the Steelers did to the Colts or the Patriots. Now, if we had to play those teams this season, I'm confident that we would have made a better showing than that. Would we have won? Tough to say but I don't think we would have taken the beating that the Colts did. JMHO.

I respect Luck and his ability but he absolutely has some weaknesses that can be exploited. Our lack of pass rush is concerning but we didn't have much of a pass rush when we beat Seattle either and Wilson is one of the most (if not THE most) elusive QBs in the game. It can be done.

Dallas offense has a historic night - Eleventy Billion points, Demarc destroys the rushing record, Romo destoys the passing record, Dez destoys the receiving record.
The Colts - score 0, Dewayne harris destroys KO and PR records and has 5 touchdowns.

One can dream. :grin:

I can believe all of it, except for Harris breaking kickoff return records in a game where the opponent kicks off once.

THIS game is pretty much like the last game, except the Colts have a better QB and a defense that does not know us very well at all. So this should be a high scoring game where turnovers make a huge (or "the") difference. Dallas' D HAS to be disciplined. Dallas' O HAS to control the ball the way we did against Philly - long drives, LOTS of running, lots of working the ball over the middle as the defense collapses to try and stop the run.

Colts may very well go man to man on Dez with a very good CB. We have to make them pay for that and spread their defense out. And/Or more ideally just keep punching them in the mouth with runs.

I think the Colts probably score 28 points AT LEAST and potentially 40+ if things get away from Dallas. Like it or not, our defense has not played well for weeks (ie giving up less than 21 points to anyone not named Jagsucksville).

I think Dallas, to win, needs at least 31, but I dont see Dallas getting more than 38.

I think Dallas may want this game a little more than the Colts. Also, the Colts have won 4 games in a row and sustaining that streak on the road is not the easiest task.

My homer prediction: Dallas 35-31.
My cup half empty after many years of disappointment prediction: Colts 41-Dallas 24.

I think we pull it out though. Assuming Martin and Murray have good games.

I had us winning 37-24 last week pretty close.

I feel nervous about this one with a banged up Murray and Oline and facing a prolific passing offense.

My mind says 34-31 Colts but my heart is going to call it for my Boys 34-28



Nice on last week.


It's too close this week. Not so nice.

I was worried about this game all year, but the Colts havent been playing all that well the last couple of weeks, plus I think Hilton wont play, I like how our defense is playing better as of late... Dallas 34 Indy 24.

I think dallas can win but a lot of fans are underestimating the colts. This is the toughtest game of our schedule besides seattle. Let alone it is must win unless philly flops.

I like Dallas at a Home this week, they've been on the road so much the past few weeks I think they'll enjoy playing at home. Our fans will give them a nice home field advantage and we win a comfortable game.

HOPEFULLY the Cowboys are growing tired of losing the game that could finally get them in the playoffs and will be prepared Sun. to take the next step.

Cowboys 28

The Colts aren't all that. They play in the AFCS which is a pathetic division, almost as bad as the NFCS. Dallas should win with or without Martin, Free and Murray. Ty is banged up, just concentrate on Trent and get some pressure on Luck........Dallas wins, rather handily I might add.
