Arizona Cardinals vs. Dallas Cowboys

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,This Week's Matchup Report by admin on Sunday 12 October 2008 at 10:37 am

This should be a outstanding football game as Coach Ken Whisenhunt of the Cardinals is 8-2 at home in his young NFL career.  The Cardinals will likely come out firing the football against the Cowboys but they must give Kurt Warner the time he needs to survey the field and avoid mistakes.  The Cardinals have allowed 12 sacks this season and the Cowboys have 14 already this season!  Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston should have good games against a Cowboys’ defense that is allowing 210.2 yards passing per game.  The Cardinals would like to run the football with Edgerrin James and rookie Tim Hightower if they get a lead to protect.

The Cowboys will likely engage in a shootout with the Cardinals as Terrell Owens and Jason Witten could be set up for big games against a Cardinals’ defense allowing 204.2 yards passing per game (103.9 QB Rating).  The Cardinals have 15 sacks this season and they will be blitzing Tony Romo all game long so it will be up to the Cowboys’ O-Line which has allowed only 4 sacks this season to protect him and give him time to survey the field.  Still, the Cowboys will also pound the ball on the ground at the Cardinals with Marion Barber (395 yards rushing, 4.2 ypc) and Felix Jones (244 yards rushing, 9.0 ypc).

PREDICTION:  DALLAS COWBOYS 37, ARIZONA CARDINALS 34
