Dallas @ Detroit
This should be a good game to watch. Both teams are 4-3. Dallas is trying to stay at the top the NFC East and Detroit is on the heels of first place Packers in the NFC North. Both teams have strong offenses and week defenses so you can expect a lot of scoring. The Cowboys have a lot of key players listed as questionable this week: DE DeMarcus Ware, DE George Salvie, WR Miles Austin, and RB DeMarco Murray. I don’t think Dallas can pullout a win in this difficult road game with these key players playing through injuries.
