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.

Remembering Sean Taylor

A young adult, a father, a fiance, and gone at the age of 24. Coming from a father of 2 this thing really hurts me as well. I just can not think or even imagine not being able to see my kids grow up. What a horrible story that a 24 year old man gets killed in his own home.

Sean spent most of his life playing the game he loved becoming one of the hardest hitters in the NFL. You do not just get a nickname like the "Meast" (half man half beast) for no reason. He started out his life in football in Pinecrest Florida playing for Gulliver Prep School, playing running back and defensive back. Sticking around home Sean decided to go to the University of Miami. He played as a true freshman and went on to become one of Miami's top safety's. He later was drafted by the Washington Redskins in 2004 in the first round pick no.5. In his first year in the NFL Sean took the starting position at free safety.

What a shame..... Yes the death of a young man and how it happened is a shame but the bigger shame to me is the news reporters bringing up his past. Yes I guess you can get an acquired image because of your past but it does not need to be brought up in a situation like this. Every story you read yesterday was about how Sean's past was bad and how he got into trouble.

Quote from Clinton Portis, Sean Taylors friend and Team Mate

Quote:

"Ever since Sean had his little girl, it was like a new Sean," Portis said. "He was always smiling, always happy, always talking about his child. It was good to see Sean walk by smiling.

Hello Mr. News reporter that should loose your job how about how he changed since the birth of his child and started to change his life around? Yeah well that would have been something you could have included in your article. Maybe not being in the news for the past months or years and to be exact the last criminal activity I found on Taylor was back in 2005. Can you just leave the past alone?

Sean leaves a family, a child and his future wife along with a lot of fans in Washington, including one that has been a valued member at NLS LadyNredskinsfan Smile girl it will be ok.. I did not know the man but after seeing him play in Miami and in the Pros I enjoyed watching him play and thought he could have become one of the best defensive backs in the NFL. I will miss watching him play much like his family and friends are going to miss his presents. Rest In Peace Sean we will miss you.

Hot Sunday

IS it? nah not really its actually kind of cold but its football season and it always seems hot around these parts. I seem to get an attitutde because all I watch is football, sports center, more football, going to football games, etc. Is it wrong? I dont really care this is who I am and what I like to do. So please leave me alone. On to some good topics.

Did you see what my gfx manager "what" made me? Check it out its the Lebron on the right yep it is sweet. Thanks man. www.nolimitsportsline.com has some great gfx. If you have not checked it out yet you should now.

I am torn between two girls now on which one I should spend most of my fantasy about at night. I am not sure if there is any hate between the two as I sleep and dream about both. You know the first one to be Biel she is posted below but since this new season of prison break has been on I may have found some competition. What are your thoughts on: Jodi Lyn O Keefe yes pictured to the left. Just not sure how I feel about this situation. Do I keep my loyalties or have both? Tuff decision.

So thats about it today if I can grace you with anything more I will and if you have not come over to NLS and see what we can do for your fantasy team.

Phillies Get Lidge

Interesting News today the Phillies went out and got a Closer in a 5 player trade with the Houston AStros. The Phillies got lidge in the deal. Lidge has went from being one of the best to one of the worst quickly but Houston has the guys in the bullpen to do this type of trade. I think it works out well for both teams.

Philadelphia Phillies have acquired CL Brad Lidge from the Houston Astros in a five-player trade.

The Astros received OF Michael Bourn, pitcher Geoff Geary and 3B Mike Costanzo. In addition to Lidge, the Phillies also acquired IF Eric Bruntlett from the Astros.
