Rex Grossman vs. Tony Romo
Romo has been playing much better than Rex.
EDGE: COWBOYS
Running Back:
Cedric Benson vs. Julius Jones/Marion Barber
The Cowboys have duo running backs and together they'll probably be more productive than Benson.
EDGE: COWBOYS
Wide Receivers:
Moose Muhammad, Bernard Berrian vs. Terrell Owens, Sam Hurd/Patrick Crayton
Of course T.O. is an All-Pro, but the loss of Terry Glenn makes the Cowboys seem like a team with only one WR. The Bears could double team T.O. and force Romo to throw to Hurd and Crayton who aren't as good as Glenn.
EDGE: EVEN
Tight End:
Desmond Clark/Greg Olsen vs. Jason Witten
Witten has a touchdown and that gives him the edge.
EDGE: COWBOYS
Defensive Ends:
Mark Anderson, Adewale Ogunleye vs. Marcus Spears, Chris Canty
No debate here.
EDGE: BEARS
Defensive Tackles:
Tommie Harris, Darwin Walker vs. Jay Ratliff
Um..let me think...
EDGE: BEARS
Linebackers:
Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher, Hunter Hillenmeyer vs. Anthony Spencer, Bradie James, Akin Ayodele, DeMarcus Ware
Briggs and Urlacher have 35 total tackles and 2 sacks. The Cowboys starting linebackers have 26 total tackles and 1 sack.
EDGE: BEARS
Cornerbacks:
Nathan Vasher, Peanut Tillman vs. Nate Jones/Terence Newman, Anthony Henry
EDGE: BEARS
Safeties:
Danieal Manning, Adam Archuleta vs. Roy Williams, Kem Hamlin
The Cowboys safeties are actually pretty good.
EDGE: EVEN
I'm not longer doing Special Teams because I'm assuming no team has a better Special Teams unit than the Bears.
Keys to Victory:
- Big game for Rex
Rex has to have less interceptions and needs to pass for more yards.
- Throw the deep ball
The Bears should go deep to Berrian on Sunday. It worked last year so why won't it work this year?
- No turnovers
I'll make this prediction: If the Bears make no turnovers, they will win the game.
- Pressure Romo
In this week's Sports Illustrated, Paul Zimmerman said, "If the Cowboys can block the Bears' rush, I see decent numbers for Romo and a Dallas win over the defending NFC champs."
I assume that if the Bears can get to Romo, they should be able to win.
