I think the Cowboys will beat New York next week. here's why. Taking an opponent for granted. This has been something that has consistently happened with the Cowboys. They play an inferior opponent and play down to the competition. Then they go up against a team that at the very least matches their talent if not surpasses it and they play much better. You saw it in the first week when we beat the Giants. You saw it last week when we really should've beat Baltimore, and I believe we will see it again when we face New York again.
There's also gonna be a motivation factor in this football game. The Giants have yet to lose at Cowboys Stadium since it was built in 2009. They're a perfect 3-0. I'm sure everyone remembers Eli Manning drawing on the walls in the stadium after the Giants won the very first game played at the new stadium. Last season the Cowboys had a two score lead with about five minutes left and inexplicably lost the game. That game was the main reason they missed the playoffs. I don't think the Cowboys wanna let that happen again.
I believe there's gonna be a sense of urgency because they are at home and they haven't exactly been a dominate home team. Also let's not forget the schedule gets even tougher from here on out. After next week's game against the Giants the Cowboys will face teams like Atlanta, Philadelphia twice, Washington twice, Pittsburgh, and New Orleans. All formidable teams and all potential losses. They can ill afford to drop to 3-4. You could even argue it's a must win game.
One thing that will really help is the Cowboys will most likely be getting DeMarco Murray who has played very well in the first meeting against the Giants. If the offensive line can play like they did the last couple of weeks which I believe they will I think we win this football game. Just give Romo some time and he'll shred the Giants secondary. Hell the offensive line was having issues in the first game and Tony still torched New York.
Defensively obviously Lee getting hurt is a concern, but according to him it's not too serious so he should return. We just need to generate some pressure on Eli like we did on him in the first meeting and like we did with Cam Newton today. We finally got an interception. Morris Claibourne got the first of his rookie campaign. Hopefully there is more to come. Eli while a great player has been prone to knuckleheaded mistakes and if we get pressure we should generate some turnovers.
I predict a 24-21 Cowboys victory. :starspin
