Turnovers- Todays games is going to full of swings and a lot of turnovers. Last time the Cowboys played the Bill's Tony Romo had five interceptions that wont happen today however with the Bills playmaking defense Romo has to be careful. This Bills team wins games with they force turnovers just ask Tom Brady who had four in one game. The Cowboys can always get some turnovers as long as they get their hands up. Ryan Fitzpatrick like to spread the field and throw quick passes. The Cowboys d-line needs to get their hands up and the safeties need to react quickly to the ball. Cowboys can force turnovers and will need to if they wana win this game.
Red Zone- No more field goals for the Cowboys inside the 20 yards line. So far this season they drive down the field and they have a problem scoring a touchdown and that has to change, With threats like Murray and Bryant the Cowboys should be one of the top red zone teams in the league not at the bottom at 36 percent. On the other hand the Bill's have been much better with a 64 percent touchdown. The Cowboys need to put the ball in the endzone and stop settling for 23 yard field goals.
First Down- The Cowboys must get positive yards on first down if they want to win this game. With a struggling O-Line and a aggressive defense their is a big difference between 2-6 vs 2-11. The reason why first down is so important because with positive yards it lets Jason Garrett open up the play book. Not only will it open the play action but also some 5 and seven step drops. The Cowboys need to take more shots down field and 2-6 is the best opportunity knowing if it does not work out you can still convert a third a six. Give Murray the ball on first down and some quick passes to Bryant and Witten early will help set up the big game changing play latter and it will come on a second and 6.
Special Teams- The Cowboys kick return game has been terrible this season but could get a boost if Akwasi Owusu-Ansah returns kicks. This kid is a very good athlete and thats why the Cowboys drafted him. Look for him to get a chance to return kicks today and look for him to give the team better field position. The difference in the game could come down to Dave Rayner who was on the Cowboys preseason roster. If it comes down to Rayner to make a kick at the end of the game...I have faith the Cowboys will win.
BOLD PREDICTION-
Muarry Has over 100 yards
Dez Bryant Touchdown over 30 yards
Interception from a Cowboys safety
Jay Rattlif bats a ball down
Ware and Spencer with a sack each
Witten with 9 receptions for 94 yards
Tony Leads the team to a victory with 280 yards passing 2 TD and 1 INT
Prediction-
The Cowboys win this game 27-24...It will be down to the wire but this team will find a way to win and then hopeful be one game out of First with a Giants loss.
Finding A Way To Win- The Bills are 5-3 and a very good football team. The Cowboys are very good at finding ways to lose games but today that needs to change. This could be a very ugly game with turnovers and penalties but the Cowboys will have a chance to make plays to win and they have to make them.
