Week 2: Dallas Cowboys (1-0) @ Seattle Seahawks (0-1)

Dallas should win this game but we shall see.

[RoundingThird]

They won't. I got Lynch and Wilson running over them in a 13-10 Seahawks win.

[ScoobySnax]

I just want to see improvement from the offensive line. It all starts with them. If they look good, we should take this one. You have to win the games you're supposed to win. Dallas has failed miserably at this in the past. We shall see...

I dot see why Dallas should win this game. The Seattle secondary is filled with playmakers an they will make their presence felt this game. Seattle 20-13

Seattle is an up and comer but Dallas 'should' win. It is the NFL though, any given Sunday.

But, I'll bite.

Why should Dallas win?

Better QB.
Better playmakers.
Best player on the field regardless who has the ball is in a Dallas uni.

Few things that can cost dallas:

Seattle crowd noise plus Cowboys OL may equal death.
Wilson's ability to run.
If we can't contain Lynch.

My heart says Dallas 38 Seattle 17.
My head says Dallas 27 Seattle 20.

Seattle is an up an comer while Dallas is consistently not in the playoffs.

Seattle has a better defense
A better running back.

Seattle two top CB are big an can jump an run with Bryant an Miles. Browner, Thomas an Chancellor are all ball hawks. Seattle is at home an that a big advantage in itself. It looks like a game between two even teams to me so if one team should win its the one playing at home.

Last season and others previous have nothing to do with this one.

Better defense, sure, but it's not as if Dallas is devoid of defensive talent; the best pass rusher in the league - and the best player on the field for either team in this game - has a star on his helmet. Sean Lee's quickly becoming a quality inside linebacker, as well, and the early returns for Dallas' investments in the secondary in the offseason show at least moderate improvement compared to last year's train wreck. It's fair that this last facet still an outstanding question mark, however.

I also don't think Marshawn Lynch is significantly more talented than Demarco Murray, if at all, provided Murray continues to stay healthy. More productive historically? Sure, but Seattle doesn't and has not had anytime recently the quarterback play Dallas has under Tony Romo and by necessity the Seahawks must turn to the running game more.

Outside of Megatron (obviously), I don't know if there are very many jumpball receivers better than Dez Bryant. When he's dialed in, he's phenomenal and he takes advantage of his obviously superlative athleticism, but the mentality has always been a question mark. We'll see which Dez shows up. To the point, though, I do like Dez's odds in a jumpball situation against any cornerback in the league.

Outside of Bryant, one has to figure Jason Witten will be a bit more effective as his lacerated spleen continues to heal.

Don't get me wrong, I think Seattle has a fine chance in this game and I respect that they are a talented football team, but you can't blame Cowboys fans for feeling good after defeating the defending Super Bowl champions at their place, particularly going up against a rookie quarterback.

I always like the Seahawks' chances at home. It will be a difficult game, and I really do like the Cowboys defense. But given the rough start to the schedule coupled with a loss to the Cardinals, the Seahawks have to get this game.
