despite what most of you think this will be close. I don't think they've given up, they just aren't very good. Big Difference obviously. Without Miles, Jenkins and Fiametta we will struggle. I'll say we win 21-20 but it'll be a white knuckler all the way.:cool:
 
just finished watching all the interviews. The coaches and players are saying all the right things. They're 100 percent focused, this not a trap game! Cboys 27-Skins 6----Believe it
 
Confidence is great,
Overconfidence kills
 
it seems no matter which team is clearly better talent wise, these games between these two teams always end up being closer than on would think so I like a close game, but hoping its a very well played solid road victory for the cowboys, but a blowout would be nice to see too

Dallas 26 Skins 23
 
I've been toying with calculating win probabilities using a combination of Pythagorean expectations, home field advantage and the SRS variable strength of schedule. This doesn't predict scores, just a winning probability. Team A is Washington, Team B is Dallas. What I get is:

Code:
./prob_trans.pl 34.0 62.3 -0.07 1.74
Without home field advantage, odds are:
Team A wins:   0.24
Team B wins:   0.76
With home field advantage, odds are:
Team A wins:   0.32
Team B wins:   0.68
With strength of schedule, odds are:
Team A wins:   0.21
Team B wins:   0.79
 
Cowboys roll. Romo's healthy, we have a running game, Skins have no WRs, and this team isn't prone to "trap games".
 
Division games are often unpredictable. We had a comfortable lead there last year 30-14 before holding on to win 33-30. Grossman threw for 322 & 4 TD's.

Nevertheless I am hoping we come out aggressive to send a message early. The run will still be a factor and if the Skins scheme to take that away we'll throw it to win. I'll say 27-13 Cowboys.
 
If they still had Moss i would be concerned but without him I like our chances.
 
[strike]31-6[/strike]
Make that 31-13 - They'll get a garbage time TD. ExtremeSkins will go wild.

Do I get a prize if I'm closest? ;)
 
I think it'll be like the Seahawks game.. Skins hang around for a little big, then we pull away in the 2nd half.

Good guys win 27-17.
 
The Skins' D still plays hard, and these games are always closer than they should be.

Boys 20
Skins 14

I say 24-17 'Boys. Murray & Romo will have good, but not great days. BUT, good enough to pull a tough, hard earned victory. Deciding TD will be by Bryant (as he beats MeAngelo on a jump ball).
