Game 10: Cowboys vs. Redskins

Well, the Cowboys need a good game here. They are on the verge of skipping the playoffs if they don't. Maybe a good game from the returning Romo, a good game from TO, and a mess of points could put this thing back on track. I'm not terribly sure if the 'Boys are going to the Super Bowl at this point, but reassurance could be around the corner. They need to get hot and stay hot.

The Cowboys have lost the past three games played in the nation's capital for the first time since the 1995-97 seasons. Last year the Redskins dominated the Cowboys in the final game of the season, winning 27-6 when several of the Cowboys' regulars did not play the entire game since the team already had the NFC's top seed locked up.

So, here's what will happen:

• Tony Romo throws one interception and two touchdowns. He also has a 300+ yard passing game.
• TO catches one of the two touches by Romo. The other going to Witten.
• Marion Barber has an OK game (around 70 yards rushing), but does rush for a touchdown.
• Felix Jones rushes for a touchdown.
• DeMarcus Ware grabs two sacks, as does another defensive lineman (3 sacks total for the Cowboys).
• Cowboys get an interception.
• Two field Goals by Nick Folk.

That's four TDs and two field goals for the Cowboys. That's 34 points. Will it be good enough to win it?

Forecast: Cowboys and Redskins... one of the best rivalries in football, at least that is my opinion. This game will probably not live up to the rivalry that it had in years past, but there is always a lot of passion associated with rivalry games. I give the Cowboys 34 points. The Redskins, well, I give them a little less, 27 points... and that would be the score, ya'll. Cowboys take is 34-27.
