Football Outsiders has posted their previews for the games this weekend. Lots of use of their stats, and/but a lot of interesting information on various matchups. Here's the conclusion:
"And that's part of why this contest, win or lose, figures to be frustrating for Dallas and their fans: they are probably going to make the most plays in this game, but Seattle is likely to make the most big plays, be they deep bombs down the field, critical goal-line stands, or field-flipping turnovers.
Seattle has been a better all-around team than Dallas over the past 17 weeks, but many of the specific matchups favor the Cowboys. It's also significant that the game is in Texas -- neither offense has been affected much by location this year, but Seattle's defense has played worse on the road, while Dallas' defense has been better at home. It all points to a closely fought game."
