Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys
We all know the result from last Sunday. The Cowboys laid a complete egg. Enough said.
This week they end the regular season against for me our most hated rival, which Cowboys team shows up?
Keys:
Plain and simple, the running game shows up the Cowboys will win this game, If Prescott attempts 44 passes, they’ll lose for the 9th time. Elliott and Pollard must be the path to victory. The passing game needs two things to succeed. First a more accurate Prescott, secondly receivers have to hold onto the ball.
On defense, they face Case Keenum, a quarterback who more often than not will make mistakes. If the Cowboys don’t take advantage of his propensity to throw interceptions, fumble the ball when hit, well that would par for the course. The sacks and pressures have to be there as well. They must neutralize McLaurin, who has had a tremendous rookie season for Washington.
As always you worry the Cowboys will simply play down to their opponent. This has been their undoing. If they really want to be in the wild card game, they better prove it and pray the Giants can beat the Eagles. A sad state of affairs, hoping for a win by a team that is 4-11…smh This will more than likely be a game much closer than what it should be.
Personally I hope the Eagles, put Cowboys Nation, out of its misery.
Prediction:
Dallas 24 Washington 21
