Most of the week this game has not filled me with optimism. I think due to a combination of injuries and bad Texas Stadium memories.
We are now at game day and I am feeling better. Injuries look better for one.
Keys wise here's what I am looking at: 3rd downs, turn overs, Ware/Kampman, Harris/Owens and rookie kickers.
Cowboys are 49 percent on 3rd down offense packers are 32% on defense. Here we have strengths matching. Packers O is 43 % while Dallas D is 38%.
Aaron Kampman leads the league with 11 sacks while Cowboys has 9. Kampman plays against Mark Columbo while Ware rushes Chad Clifton. Edge to the Pack I think.
Al Harris will most likely man up on Owens. Harris needs to play calm and solid and see if he can end Owen's 6 game TD streak.
Both teams have rookie kickers Mason Crosby (GB) and Nick Folk (DAL). Folk is more accurate overall 85 to 79 percent and from 40 yards out 7/9 to 6/11. Crosby was better earlier in the season.
Although I feel better I still can't make the Packer victory call....here's hoping I am soooooooo... wrong!
