Of all the road teams this week I think Dallas has the best shot at coming out on top. Everyone is piling on the Cowboys and the officiating from a week ago but I still think this Cowboys team is more focused and ready to continue their run for a rematch in Seattle. They are 1 of 4 teams with a top 10 rushing and top 10 passing attack, and the only one with a top 5 of both. Green Bay's defense is going to struggle in this game. The other two times they faced a top 10 balanced attack they lost and gave up 200 yards rushing in both games. I expect much of the same here with Dallas picking up nearly 200 yards rushing and controlling the game.
Tony Romo never gets the credit he deserves and even if Suh was held like crazy on the last play of the game last week I think it's finally time for Romo to win a big playoff game and earn the credit. Romo had a 121.8 QB rating on the road this year and nobody else is even close. He benefits from having the best rushing team in the league, but he's played smart. Demarco Murray should be fresh in this game coming off just 19 carries vs. the Lions and Romo has 4 legit weapons to pass to in Beasley, Witten, Williams, and of course the diva Dez Bryant. All 4 bring something different to the table.
Dallas still has to defend, but they seem to be getting better as the season goes along. They were #3 in the league in opposing QB rating on the road holding 8 QB's to a combined 81.2 QB rating. Although they haven't played someone as good as Aaron Rodgers, they just seem to be a very good road team that I would like to back at this point in the season.
