I don't know what to think.

Going to be interesting. This Cowboys team has run the ball nearly 55 more times so far this year than their opponents, or at least I believe I read that somewhere. Bengals defense is allowing around 97 yards a game on the ground, so not bad, but not great. The defense is going to be tested by the OL and the run-game of Dallas.

However, the Dallas defense really isn't much better than Miami's overall in terms of points allowed. The offense has to have a fast start, and force the Cowboys into a passing game. Easier said than done with this offense, though.

I'd say it'll be another FG fest.

If the Bengals can play anywhere close to last year's production, they should win this game. As good as Dallas is running the ball, I think our D can limit the damage and make them settle for long drives and field goals. The issue, this year anyway, is that we haven't shown the ability to punch it in on offense. Trading field goals normally doesn't favor you on the road. We'll have to score touchdowns (particularly in the second half) Neither team has struggled with turnovers, but somehow I have to believe a turnover will swing this game. I'm guessing our experience wins out and we win a close one.

Bengals 24, Cowboys 16

Marvin Lewis and Ken Zampese do not go into Dallas and beat a rookie QB. This is a loss.

I think we're about even. but calling for a tie seems pretty stupid.

I'd like to think we can win this though, but that's just delusion.

I had no idea the cowboys were 3-1

Home victory over the Bears. Home loss to the Giants. Road victories over the Skins and Niners.

In other words..... We have no idea if they are any good or not. A good team shouldn't lose to the Giants at home. But it was a division game. Wins over the Bears, Skins and Niners are not very telling.

Great offensive line and some dangerous playmakers. Don't know enough about their defense, but over the past few years I suspect they've been average at best.
