I prefer going into games seen as the superior team and picked to win. But i'm weird that way.

Lol. I'll second that.

But, I'm sitting here sat night and I'm really getting this feeling that the cowboys are going to go into Seattle with something to prove and bring the nasty for 60 min. On offense and defense.

I don't know if they will win. But I think Seattle is going to get socked in the jaw in a way that this current Seattle team has not experienced before.

And for right now, that will be enough for me.

Man I hope so. My wife's BF & new boyfriend are coming over for a full day of football, food, and drinks. They're Steelers fans, but are willing to hang out and watch the Cowboys and Seahawks game after the Steelers and Browns play the early game. Should be pretty fun.

The last few years, when I've had football gatherings scheduled around my Cowboys, I would look forward to game day all week leading up, only to be extremely disappointed in the outcome of the game. I'm going into this game with no real expectations.

I'm in an elimination league and still have not used the seahawks. I honestly do not want to touch this game. From a fan's standpoint I do not ever want to pick against my cowboys but also my brain is telling me that this is going to be no gimme for the seahawks.

It is going to feel so good when these guys are proven wrong.

I am a Cowboys homer and proud of it.

My brothers are steelers fans. That last Super Bowl win against the steelers was fun for me

Its interesting watching some of the analysis on the Cowboys@ Seahawks game coming up this Sunday. I heard that this a heavy weight match up right now, that this is one of the best matchups of the season so far. Hogwash,,,,

First things first, this game has very little chance of being close, much less being a good game.
I think if these two teams played 100 times, the Cowboys would win less than 10 games. This stems from there only being two ways Dallas comes out with a win, one would be for Seattle to suffer a massive injury to either Wilson/Lynch AND a defensive stud. The other way would be a perfect Time of Poss control by the Dallas offense, combined with multiple Seattle turnovers/crippling penalties. Not that either CANT happen.

The line is Seattle -9 right now, and there is two reasons why this isnt -11 or more right now, and that is because of the popularity of public money on the Cowboys, and the artificial Hype on the Cowboys overall record right now.

Reasons for this not being a close game?
The Cowboys defense is down right offensive, without some huge Seattle miscues this defense has little to no chance to stop the Seahawks. Missing McCain and Carter makes this one of the worst defenses we will see in a long time here in Seattle.

Make no mistake this 4-1 Cowboys team is a mirage, but early season good records that turn into mediocre and poor records by the end of the season do happen (see 2012 Cardinals) and with this putrid defense that Dallas puts on the field, take the Hawks and give the points, because -9 is a bargin this Sunday.

Even DC.com picked Seattle across the board.

Random new guy thought: I don't expect us to win. I don't expect us to be blown out, but ya never know what Seattle is gonna do.
However, if we do win. If we do win, I am going to be the most obnoxious Cowboys fan known to man. Like move to another zip-code obnoxious.
Just putting that out there.

Like your thinking. Want a win, but a close L without giving them easy points ( Int or fumble returned for TD , blocked punt TD) will be a sign of improvement.
