Dallas offense versus Seattle's defense. Or Dallas defense versus Seattle's offense. Which unit will be more successful? This was a question on the break today. I would pick the defense. I think they will keep it a low scoring game by keeping lynch in check and making Wilson throw to win. Also I don't think Tony will have a very good game because the running game won't be as dominant against a stout Seattle defense on the ROAD.

Sounds like a bit of a cop out maybe, but especially against a team like Seattle, they have to go hand-in-hand.

If the defense plays well, the offense can run the football and not have to get pass happy to catch up.

On the flip side, if either unit struggles early, the other will be put in a bad spot for the rest of the game. Seattle is the type of team that won't let you win if you do that.

If all units are equal then I pick our kicking and special teams units over theirs,as the tie breaker,IMHO!!

I'm actually more worried about the defense holding up than our offense being able to move the ball against Seattle's vaunted D. I think a low scoring game in the teens favors the Cowboys. If our D stands up and the offense at a minimum avoids turnovers, we'll have a decent shot.

I believe our D will be gashed for big plays, but at the same time I feel like our offense is prone to making negative plays to this defense in their stadium. Yet, somehow, I'm still going into this thing expecting us to win. Optimism is a helluva drug!

I like the offense better than I like the defense against Wilson and company. Without Wilson, I would feel much better about this game. Or, to be more precise, I would feel better if we weren't facing a running QB on top of everything else.

I do feel pretty hopeful overall though. It isn't likely, but Dallas can win this game.

I'd have to hang my hat on the offense. It's the team strength.

I think Wilson gashes the defense with his legs.
