Cold weather game against the Bears favors the Bears. The one advantage Dallas has over them is a better passing game. But weather can nullify that, pronto. This team seems to find a way to lose to these guys, and once the game tips it slides the Bears' way quickly.
Aaron Rogers coming back with the Pack since they now have a shot at the play-offs means the Dallas defense that struggles with the passing game will face one of the best passers in the league, and a motivated team. Add to this the confines of the Death Star, which takes weather out of the equation, and even with Rogers being rusty, he could very well light this defense up to the stratosphere of Brees. Rogers watches and does not play and pressure on their back-up will tell the tale on who wins. Limit his time to pass and Dallas takes this game. Allow Flynn to get comfortable, and he will find a way, I think.
Washington will be interesting. Does Danny boy fire Shanny? His history and ego indicate this could transpire. So the entire team would find themselves being graded by the interim head coach. People tend to play harder when that happens. If not, it is still a cold weather game that lends itself to more of a running attack than passing. Winnable, but no guarantees.
My belief is the Eagles will beat Dallas in Dallas. I could be wrong, but this is not the same Eagles team Dallas faced earlier in their schedule. That snow bowl yesterday showed a team which has mental toughness. The advantage Dallas has is home field. The disadvantage is the Dallas' defense.
I can make a case for everything from 4-0 to 0-4.
But I lean toward 2-2, ending with a 9-7 record and missing the play-offs. But 1-3 would not surprise me.
