Green Bay Packers @ Dallas Cowboys

GB strolls to Dallas to play in a NFL match up of two 10-1 teams. Very interesting match up if you ask me and I am not sure I am sold on a winner because the teams are pretty equal. I am going to give my edge to the Cowboys though because of there running game. I think that Marion and Julius are going to be able to run more than Ryan Grant will tonight.

Lets break down the positions a little bit:

QB
Tony Romo -vs- Brett Favre - (=)

Interesting that both of these QB's are 1 and 2 ranked in the NFC QB wise. Romo has a 105.3 QB rating and Favre has a 101.5 QB Rating next on the list in the NFC is Jeff Garcia with a 96 QB rating. To me that is an amazing stat at this point in the season.

Here are the top QB ratings at the end of the season the last 5 years in the NFC

2006 - Drew Brees 96.2 - (Favre 72.7, Romo 95,1)
2005 - Matt Hasselbeck 98.2 - (Favre 70.9)
2004 - Daunte Culpepper 110.9 - (Favre 92.4)
2003 - Daunte Culpepper 96.4 - (Favre 90.4)
2002 - Brad Johnson 92.9 - (Favre 85.6)

Pretty amazing after looking at those stats huh?. I think both QB's are going to be able to pass in this game and think you would be wise to start either of them if you have the opportunity.

RB
Marion and Julius -vs- Ryan Grant - (DAL)
Marion and Julius seem to get it done week in and week out no matter who they are playing they are used as a committe so there stats really do not show what the run 2 of them do together. For instance the last 3 weeks the two have combined for:

Week 10 - 23 carries 82 yards

Week 11 - 23 Carries 73 yards 1 catch

Week 12 - 32 carries 167 yards 8 catches 38 yards

Now these combined numbers are not huge fantasy numbers but it does show that Dallas does do some serious running and its not just all passing like I have heard some say. With that information said I still give the running game to Dallas this week but fantasy wise I do not play either Barber or Jones and I think Dallas focus's on the Run and Grant will be off as well.

WR
TO and Clayton or whoever -vs- Driver and Jennings - (GB)

I really think Dallas shuts down the run in this game and tries to pressure Favre more than trying to cover these WR's. With that being said I think GB's guys are going to have pretty big days. Look for Favre to be spreading the ball all over the field you may even see some Offensive lineman catch a pass in this game.

TE
Jason Witten -vs- Donald Lee (DAL)

Key factor to me in this game, I think GB shuts down Owens well maybe not shut him down but at least cover him unlike last week where he was open on I think all of his catches. Look for Witten to make some huge plays and really pull out the win for the Cowboys. I do not think the Pack have anyone to cover him and I think Dallas Exposes it.

DEF
Dallas -vs- GB (DAL)

Dallas's defens is better even though GB seems to be pulling it together on the other side of the ball. I just think Dallas will be able to move the ball on the Packers defense easily.

Dallas wins this game by 10.
