I know that Division games are always closer then everybody thinks. You rarely see blow outs, especially between the Skins and the Cowboys and it doesn't matter how good or bad each team is.
However, a couple of things that jump out to me in this game.
1. The Skins swept us last year and one of those losses was for the Division and a spot in the playoffs.
2. Last weeks loss was a bitter one. You can say moral victory but I don't think that's what the Cowboys are thinking. I listened to Lee and I saw how Romo reacted in the Presser. I think this team is ready to play the next game and they would love it to be the Commanders who they make a statement with.
3. Romo, to me, does not look like the same QB we have seen in the past. In the past, I think Romo played up and down from week to week a lot of times. This year, he's way more consistent in his play IMO and I like what I am seeing. Some people don't like the dink and dunk, as it is described but I don't mind it if it's the right decision. He's trying to play within himself much more and that means fewer poor plays. He's going to show back up this week and play well IMO.
4. The teams that have really given us problems, Defensively, all had strong interior line play. Chiefs with Poe, San Diego with Liuget and Thomas. I am not sure that the Skins have that guy on their D.
5. Skins are averaging 22 pts a game this year and most of that is late in games scoring, after they are already well down. I don't believe they can score with us.
Based on all of these issues, I'm going to predict the following:
Cowboys 31
Skins 17
