After last week’s debacle, I thought I’d give the Nostradamus Quatrain Generator another shot. Here we go:
Question– Can the Cowboys right the ship against Carolina on Saturday night?
Our response–
Earth-shaking fire from the center of the Earth
Through his death a great schism will arise
The twelve red ones will spoil the cover
And war reign happily where it once did cease
The first line was the same one that we saw for the Packers’ game, which much be a good sign. And from the looks of things, I predict that we will make twelve trips to the red zone but will struggle to cover the 11 1/2-point spread. Cowboys should still win, though.
AccuScore
Once again, Dallas won 83% of AccuScore’s simulations. Here is the preview:
The outcome of the game is coming down to Tony Romo and his touchdown to interception ratio. In the 80 percent of simulations where the Cowboys win, Romo averages 2.2 TD passes vs. just 1 interception. In Cowboys losses he averages 1.5 TD passes and 1.5 interceptions. After several quiet weeks look for Terrell Owens to have a big game with a 50 percent chance of reaching 100 yards and 1 TD. Teams are going to start gearing up to contain Jason Witten which should leave Owens open for some big plays.
What If Sports
At What If Sports, Dallas won 90.2 percent of the simulations by an average score of 28.7 to 13.1.
Pigskin Pick’em: Dallas Favored by 11 1/2
For yet another week, all of the members of the ESPN Talent picked Dallas to win. However, only 56.9% of users picked Dallas to cover the spread. The preview:
The Cowboys are coming off a stunning home loss to the Eagles and have not wrapped up the top playoff seed in the NFC yet. Dallas is undefeated in six road games this season. The Panthers upset the Seahawks at home last week for only their second home victory in 2007. Dallas defeated Carolina on Oct. 29, 2006, 35-14.
