I can’t believe it’s finally time! I am predicting 2 TD’s for Romo and TO, and 2 INTs for Hamlin. Cowboys win, 27-13.

HUGE GAMES TODAY...

OFFENSE:

Romo will be all business … 260 yards

Witten will be his primary target

DEFENSE:

PacMan has a pick 6

Zach has a HUGE game

In general, I think Anderson will be a challenge for our front 7 … Barber is the difference, and we win grinding it out…
