Commanders-Cowboys predictions

[MTCowboys88]

Defense is starting to gel - we get Spencer back, albeit a little rusty.

We handled a west coast offense last week - half of the defensive game plan was probably already in place for this week.

31-16 'Boys

 

[TwentyOne]

45-12 Cowboys.

I grant the Commanders 4 FGs. 4 scores maybe a little bit too high for the Commanders but who cares. This will get ugly i promise you. I forcast pain.

Ok, so minus (-) means favorites. I can never keep the + - straight. It seems counterintuitive to me.

Easiest way to remember it... Point spreads look like this...
Commanders
Cowboys (-11)

so the result is (pretending the score ends out 20-23 Cowboys)
Commanders 20
Cowboys 23 - 11 = 12... Commanders bets win.

If you want my opinion, I say bet on the Skins because more often than not, these games are decided by less than a score, no matter how good or bad the teams are.

Cowboys 38
Redskirts 0

Then again I may be just a little biased.

34 - 13 Cowboys

skins 27
boys 20

skins D has held its own, giving up 17 points a game to 3 good offenses. none of them as good as dallas, of course, but they have contained probowl caliber players at QB and/or WR each of the first 3 weeks.

skins O had been solid the last 2 weeks to say the least. campbells mistake free play has been key as he has grown more comfortable in zorns system. dallas' D is capable of playing oustanding D as well as looking vulnerable week to week.

of course, all of this analysis is good for nothing as anything can and has happened in this rivalry.

so, heres to an injury free game. :cheers:

The Commanders trolls in this thread are killing me! Please somebody tell them that games are won in the trenches. Their old creeky OL and DLs held together by duct tape is going to get murdered out there on Sunday. The Commanders have zero chance to win.

Commanders 27 Cowboys 21.

[ghst187]

Dallas 100,000
Skins -3

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Dallas - 34

Commanders - 24

we just have too many weapons on O:

Barber
Felix - which I expect to see early and often, at least in the passing game
Witten
TO
Austin
Bennett
Crayton
Hurd is back

and of course it all starts w/ the QB, and Tony Romo is one of the best...JC isn't

we'll allow decent scoring in the 1st, then will tighten up in the 2nd half, and like many are predicting, the Skins will make the game look respectabe w/ a late, meaningless score, but the final stats will say otherwise

Another good way is remembering the team with the (+) pts is getting a helping hand on the scoreboard. They are thus the underdogs. Also, great point on division rivals. ALWAYS throw out the pointspread. Remember 1989? We went 1-15. Guess who we beat? Super Bowl champ Commanders in THEIR yard. We were double digit dogs that day. This game will not be easy, but Dallas does seem focused right now and they understand what it takes to win division games. Also Dallas has much better overall talent top to bottom. Cowboys win 31-17

I think we win the turnover battle and make Dallas put together long, methodical drives. Our D has been very good at limiting plays over 15 and 20 yards so far this season. Hopefully that trend continues. If we don't win the turnover battle, then it could definitely be 30-14 Cowboys.

You better hope so...because we're leading the league in 20+ yard plays. IIRC.

Either way, I wouldn't count on limiting us too much. You better hope your offense can keep up.

I believe it will be 42..........deadskins 10

You are right about one thing. Turnovers by the Cowboys could easily result in a Commanders win. That can be said about every other game on Sunday. Barring a complete meltdown by Dallas in that area tommorrow, I like your alternate prediction of 30-14 Dallas win.

Simple friendly question. Do you really think the Skins are going to win the game or is it simply what you're hoping for? I just can't see anyone honestly thinking the Skins are going to come into Texas Stadium and beat us right now. Could they? Of course any team can win a given game, but the odds are greatly against the Skins. What do you really THINK will happen?

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Dallas wins, 38-24. Close game, but Dallas will score late and Campbell will throw his first Interception of 2008 for a pick-6 trying to get the Skins down the field to tie with under a minute left.
