| RolStoppable said: I am still not sure if I should change my picks for the late games. The Chargers have a lot of injuries and they've lost to worse Raiders in recent history. The Cowboys are still missing Romo and Bryant, but otherwise they seem to be good to go, and the Giants aren't a particularly good team. Arkaign, help me out here. At least on the second game. |
I'm a bit of a homer (still picked the Pats against them easily of course).
Still, this is the first week of the year all of the defensive pieces are together. They should be pretty effective in ringing Eli's bell and controlling the line/center run game.
Offensively I have no idea. I do believe that Cassel will be an upgrade from Weeden (who was the terrible combination of indecisive, prone to checkdowns behind the line of scrimmage, and had HORRILE pocket sense .. stepping back into circling edge rushers instead of forward to the pass/scramble).
Will it be enough? Who knows, the NFC East is notorious for completely random results any given Sunday no matter how good/bad a team has been throughout the year. TOUGH rivalries for sure.
My personal feeling is that Dallas will win with a superior defensive effort and adequate offense, but I won't count out the NYG either.
24-20.
