Much has been made of the incredibly difficult schedule played by Pittsburgh, and rightfully so, but Dallas has faced an equally arduous task down the stretch as they close with the Steelers, Giants, Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles.
This also marks the final home game in Texas Stadium. More than 100 past players and coaches will be on hand in an experience that should rival the closing of Yankee Stadium in just the amount of sheer greats on one field at the same time.
The Dallas defense has been key to their recent run. They have allowed just 248 yards rushing in the past four games (62.0 ypg) while sacking the quarterback 24 times.
On offense the Ravens run the ball almost to a fault. They average almost 38 rushing attempts per game, yet average just 3.8 ypc. Joe Flacco will be called upon to make a few plays and that should be a tough task against this quick defense. They have been very opportunistic, registering 12 takeaways in their last 6 games. Flacco has been awful in his last two games as teams have dared him to throw the ball more often.
Tony Romo has been lights out @ home this season, with 17 touchdowns and just four interceptions.
I expect the Cowboys to shut down the Baltimore offense completely and do just enough when they have the ball to come away with a win and cover.
Dallas -4
