How about these Thanksgiving NFL games? After an early game that is sure to be a snoozer, we get the wildly disappointing Seahawks against the Cowboys in Dallas. Dallas, right now, is still fighting for one of the two wild-cards with the division probably out of reach, making each game critical. Seattle obviously is a subpar team, but they have shown signs of an improvement, losing to the 'Skins by just three last Sunday.
The Seahawks' secondary, which I thought would be much better, will have a large amount of trouble attempting to cover Terrell Owens, Jason Witten, and all of the other weapons on the Cowboys' offense. Tony Romo should be able to hook up with TO on at least one or two big plays downfield considering how bad Seattle is at safety. Marion Barber, in addition, should be able to work his magic.
Matt Hasselback has to limit his mistakes for Seattle to have any hope of winning this game. The 'Hawks will give Dallas a healthy dose of run, hopefully setting up the playaction pass. The Cowboys' D prides itself on getting to the quarterback, though, so don't expect Matt and his limited set of targets to do much.
If another lackluster, blowout game, I'll say Cowboys 34, Seahawks 16. Although it is seemingly an easy one of the Cowboys, which it will be, it is still a very important one for their confidence, as they'll be gearing up for a tough December in which they'll be chasing the playoffs, starting with a December 7th match-up in Pittsburgh and then against the Giants. Get ready, Dallas fans.
