AccuScore Game Forecasts: Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys
Link: http://accuscore.com/option,com_acc_nfl_game_preview/tab,stats/Itemid,207/game_id,50/
Analysis
Washington has won two games in a row, but they are expected to struggle defensively against Dallas. They allowed over 115 yards to Arizona, whose running offense is not nearly as potent as the combo of Marion Barber and Felix Jones. The ESPN AccuScore Custom Game Simulator indicates there is a 20 percent chance that Barber has over 100 rushing yards and Felix Jones has over 50 rushing yards in the game. The average score in these simulations is Dallas 39, Washington 16. It will not be easy, but Washington needs to have Clinton Portis run for over 100 yards and the defense needs to intercept Tony Romo at least once while sacking him 3 or more times. With Jason Taylor out with injury this only happens in 4.5 percent of the time, but the game is dead-even with both teams winning 50 percent.
