Seattle at Dallas

Last year Dallas destroyed Seattle 34-9 with a 447-322 yd edge & tallied 7 sacks. The Cowboys are off a win vs a quality foe in the Falcons last week & now get an inconsistent SEA team. Both of Seattle’s wins have been shutouts (St Louis & Jacksonville) but 3 of their 4 losses have been by 13 or more points. In Seattle’s defense they have had no offensive line stability (12 different combos in 22 games) & injuries have hurt them on defense. Dallas’ main advantage here their huge offensive line vs a smaller, faster front 7 that is without their best player on defense in MLB Tatupa. This is a game the Cowboys should & must win as they have Philadelphia & Green Bay on the road next to show they can be a consistent force in the NFC.

FORECAST: DALLAS 34 Seattle 17
