Game 4: Cowboys vs. Redskins

Tony Romo is 62-92 with 892 yards. He snags 9.70 yards per attempt and has 5 TDs and 3 Ints. He's been sacked three times and has a rating of 103.2. Marion Barber and Felix Jones are the backs. Barber has 62 carries for 285 yards with four TDs and one fumble that was lost. Jones has 18 touches for 148 yards and 2 TDs. Witten and Owens lead out with receiving. Witten has 20 catches for 273 yards. TO has 10 catches, three for TDs, and has 193 yards. Miles Austin has four catches for 127 yards and one TD. Felix Jones also does KO returns. He has nine for 316 yards.
NFC East is undefeated when playing teams outside the division. That gives them a record of 8-0 in those games. Jason Campbell is 61-93 for 647 yards with four TDs and no Ints. He's been sacked 5 times and has a QB rating is 100.1. Clinton Portis has 65 carries for 248 yards with 3 TDs. Campbell has three main targets in Santana Moss, Chris Cooley, and Antwaan Randle El. Moss has 19 catches for 276 yards with 3 TDs. Cooley has 13 grabs for 151 yards. Randle El has 14 snags for 149 yards. Rock Cartwright has 10 KO returns for 258 yards.

Looking at all the numbers, the Cowboys have the better offense and both teams seem to have a very equivalent defense, at least in regard to points given up.

Forecast: The Cowboys don't really get any kind of a break. None. It's either a good team or it's a rivalry (or both). This game is at Dallas (actually, Irving, TX). That generally doesn't mean much to this rivalry. Still, the Cowboys are the better team. And they will move to 4-0 and begin looking at the Bengals. Score: 28-27.

well, you came within an onside kick recovery of having the final score be Dallas 27, Washington 26. so your prediction was pretty close.
