I am the person who doesn't care about preseason until the final preseason week. The last game tends to mean a lot more, as it helps set a tone for the regular season. So, I would suspect that the regular season starters would play at least a full quarter this week.

This is preseason, folks. Wins and Loses don't mean squat, at least, until, you realize that teams who have a winning preseason, will typically go to the postseason, or at least if you having a losing preseason, you don't do the playoffs. Winning in your preseason, doesn't equal playoffs, but losing in the preseason typically means no playoffs for you.
Forecast: What is important in this game is what the starters do... second team is also important, but the main thing is what the first team does, and that is what I would take into account as I give this prediction. I really like the Cowboys to make some noise this year. I expect the first team to be leading when they hand the ball to the second, who should also get some points. I am NOT going to dig into prospects and such right now, as this is preseason, and I am not all that interested. I expect the Cowboys to grab 10 points with Romo at QB, although the reports of the offensive line being, well, offensive. Um, the third and fourth team blew for the Cowboys last week, but they third and fourth team were playing the Raiders second team, so, go figure. Think about that, the Cowboys fourth team wasn't as good as the Raiders second team, whup-de-freakin'-do. Cowboys lead after the first quarter, who really cares after that. Final may look like this: Cowboys 24-20 or Chargers 20-17... who really knows?
