Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Jets

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,General Cowboys Talk,This Week's Matchup Report by admin on Thursday 22 November 2007 at 2:33 am

The Jets look like they are finally waking up as they defeated the Steelers in overtime last week and they fell in OT against Washington in the game before.  The Cowboys are looking like they are the 2nd or 3rd best team in football right now.

The Jets will likely try to run the ball a lot with Thomas Jones (723 yards rushing) and Leon Washington in an attempt to keep the ball away from the Cowboys offense.  That will be easier said than done as the Cowboys only allow 84.3 yards rushing per game and 3.6 ypc.  Kellen Clemens did make some big throws in the game last week but he must be careful against a Cowboys defense that has 15 sacks already this season.

The Cowboys will likely try to get the lead passing and then pound the ball on the ground to finish up the game.  Tony Rom0 (2,848 yards, 27 TDs and 12 INTs) and Terrell Owens (58 rec, 1.028 yards, 12 TD receptions) will likely be playing a game of catch all game long unless the Jets are effective in blitzing like they were last week against the Steelers.  Marion Barber and Julius Jones should both have decent games against the Jets defense which is allowing 148.2 yards rushing per game.

PREDICTION:  COWBOYS 28, JETS 17
