Prediction Time...

After scouring all the numbers going into the Cowboys-Eagles game Monday afternoon...

PREVIEW

Various Cowboys' notes:

QB TONY ROMO has won 6 of 8 career starts & has completed 167 of 249 passes (67.1 pct.) for 2,178 yards with 13 TDs vs. 7 INTs for 100.1 passer rating … RB MARION BARBER has TD in 10 of past 13. Leads NFC with 15 TDs & 13 rush TDs … RB JULIUS JONES rushed for 100 yards in last meeting. Cowboys are 9-3 (.750) when Jones rushes for 90+ yards … Former Eagle (2004-05) WR TERRELL OWENS has 10 TDs in past 10 games, incl. 2 TDs last week. WR TERRY GLENN has 246 rec. yards (123.0 per game) in past 2. When Glenn has 100+ rec. yards, his teams are 17-5 (.773) … LB DE MARCUS WARE had 69-yard FR-TD in last meeting. Had 41-yard INT-TD last week. Has 11.5 sacks in past 16. ROY WILLIAMS has 5 INTs, most by S in NFC.

...it is time to give my prediction on the game, which you have all been waiting for...

FINAL SCORE: COWBOYS 21, EAGLES 13...DALLAS CLINCHES THE NFC EAST...

*Tony Romo got back on track last week and the Eagles will have a lot more trouble getting to him that they did Bledsoe the first time the teams played back in October.

*I think Julius Jones will have a big day on the ground. He has struggled much of the second half of the year, but showed in the first meeting that he can run on the Eagles defense.

*Terrell Owens can't help but have a bigger game that he did when the teams played in Philly. That will be another big plus.

* The Dallas defense should be able to put the clamps on Jeff Garcia, both passing and when he tries to make things happen when he scrambles.

How's that for analysis?

Marty Turco and the Stars wrap up the quick 2-game trip to the West Coast on a positive note by blanking San Jose.

The Mavs, with or without Dirk Nowitski (sorry, Nowitzki...I apologize if that spelling error has ruined your blog-reading experience) host the LA Clippers tonight (7:30, FSNSW).

If it was his last home game at Lambeau, it wasn't the thing of beauty Brett Favre would have hoped for...kinda helped my fantasy team, though. Appreciate ya, Brett...

It may have been a cold and rainy night in Green Bay, but the vacationing Sturminator was giddy at the result. (Thanks to PopsicleStickChick for the photo)
