Ravens at Cowboys Preview

Both teams need a win tonight, the Cowboys are battling for a spot in the NFC wild card, while the Ravens are fighting to hold their wild card position. The Cowboys have to put pressure on rookie QB Joe Flacco, who has thrown 12 INT's this season. Tony Romo needs to prove that he can handle big games, after a disappointing loss to the Steelers where he threw a late INT to give Pittsburgh the win. Don't forget about his bobbled snap against Seattle in the playoffs, the play is still in his mind. The Boys' defense will need Demarcus Ware and Greg Ellis to be able to hit the gaps on run plays and force the Ravens to air it out.

The Ravens are coming off a tough loss last week to Pittsburgh. The players are out for revenge today, especially the defense who let up the game winning drive last week. Joe Flacco was doing great for the Ravens, until last week against the Steelers. Flacco will need help from RB's Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain to force the defense to play up, allowing for passing lanes downfield. Flacco has been a road warrior this season, with a 91.1 rating and throwing for 9 TD's.

The game will be won on defense. The defense who applies the most pressure will win this game today. The Ravens and Cowboys both have top defenses, while the Cowboys have begun to find their groove on offense.

My Pick: BAL 17 - DAL 14

Player 2 Watch: Ed Reed because he has had 4 INT's in his last 4 games, and he has been everywhere on defense.

Chris's Pick: BAL 24 - DAL 20

Player 2 Watch: Derrick Mason because this has been Flacco's main man and he will need to play big today.
