He did not pick the Cowboys to win because... he knows. they. won't. win.
I actually can see this game going either way. I think both teams will struggle on both sides of the ball at some point throughout the game. The thing that worries me is our run defense. I was not impressed with what I saw when I went to the Ravens game and when I watched the others on TV. If we don't get that fixed we might be in a spot of trouble. If we can work that out I think we can win. The Cowboys O line woes do have me intrigued. I think Orakpo will make it interesting for them. I'm not making a prediction though. I say too close to call. For the sake of argument I will say the final score is:
Seventeen hundred billionty-Negative infinity
I expect a low scoring game especially in the first half.
I have more confidence in the Cowboys defense then I do in the Redskins defense.
You will probably see something in the Dallas offense no one has seen in years......screens. They could not effectively do screens in the past because Flozells fat butt could not get out in space and moke those key blocks.
But there is a new LT who is much more mobile and athletic then Flozell and the screen will be in the aresenal. Watch for Felix Jones on these screens, he will get most of his yards off this.

Skins win 27-17
I never thought I'd see the day where your prediction was more modest than mine. :doh:

I think if Dallas is smart they will pound the ball at us and try to chew clock and wear us down. Mark Schlereth made a good point this morning on SC- the preseason may not count, but it does matter- And Dallas looked as bad as any team this preseason. So can they go on the road for a night game in a hostile environment against their archrival and just suddenly flip a switch and click on both sides of the ball?
I sure as hell hope not. But I'm realistic. IMO we're just a hair better than a middle of the road team. I think Dallas wins a pretty unexciting game 20-14. I'll be there, so I hope I'm wrong.
I was looking at our projected starting lineup- Our average age of our projected starters at the skill positions (QB, RB, FB, WR, TE) is 32.3 years old. That's not good. Brandon Banks aside, I don't see any explosiveness whatsoever from this team. At least on offense.

I just don't think their defensive coordinator will know how to stop K. Shanahan's scheme. We'll keep them in check for most of the game. Redskins 21 Cowboys 17
