NFC East Rivals Collide

Rivalries are always the most entertaining games to watch.  You can feel the tension between the two teams as they play each other. The Dallas Cowboys are Playing the Washington Redskins this Sunday.  The first time these two teams met, the rivalry was so intense that there was only one touchdown scored in the entire game! There was a total of 6 field goals by the Dallas Cowboys, who in recent history have been struggling to find a consistant kicker. (Nick Folk, David Beuhler, etc.) However, with all that aside, both of these teams have been playing differently than they were all those weeks ago.  The Dallas Cowboys have recently been red hot; their offense has been clicking, and it seems whenever Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois) does not turn the ball over more than 2 times, the Cowboys can easily get their win.  The Washington Redskins, however, have been all downhill ever since starting 2 and 0.  They have won only 1 game and their record now is 3-6.  They have tried benching QB Rex Grossman (Florida), and starting John Beck (BYU), but that did not work out as Beck was not scoring any points for the Skins. The Dallas Cowboys are looking to stay hot going into this game, and for the rest of the season.  If the Cowboys do pull off the victory, then it will be one of the best in recent memory for the 'Boys.  Look for the Cowboys to use their 2 headed rushing attack DeMarco Murray (Oklahoma) and with solid RB Felix Jones (Arkansas) as the backup to run over the Redskins.  However, if the Redskins can somehow find a way to stop the run game, and get a few turnovers, then they can find a way to end their losing skid and stop the Cowboys' surge.

My Pick:
Cowboys 34
Redskins 10

The Cowboys have been on fire and the Redskins have been struggling to score more than 20 points the past few weeks, and I think that this will happen.
