Dallas Cowboys
It shocks me to say this but the Dallas Cowboys are probably the best team in Football right now. They are the most complete team left bar none. On Offense, Tony Romo is on fire and it has elevated the games of Miles Austin, Jason Witten and yes, even Roy Williams. Romo’s great play can be attributed to solid Offensive Line play and so can the re-emergence of the Dallas running game. This unit is clicking on all cylinders and it is tough to see anyone slowing them down.
The play of the Dallas Defense is probably the biggest reason for the Cowboys ascent to the elite in the NFL. The have pitched shutouts in 2 of their last 4 games and made Donovan McNabb look like a high school QB the last 2 weeks. This unit, like the Offense is Red Hot and should be able to harass Brett Favre like they harassed Donovan.
Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings have a few things going for them as game time approaches. First of all, they are at home, where their record has been outstanding the last 5 or so years. Second of all, a week’s rest probably did Percy Harvin some good. Make no mistake about it folks, the Vikings have weapons. Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin are all superstars in the game – an handful for anybody. The key will be the running game and if Brett Favre will let AP play. It’s the only way to minimize the superb Dallas pass rush. [soliloquy id=”82219″] I hope the off week was used to sharpen up – they are gonna need it.
On Defense, the Minnesota Vikings were the best in the league at stopping the run….again!!! Their weakness, however is the secondary. Uh Oh!!! They are going to have to play the game of their lives in order for the Vikings to win.
