GO COWBOYS!!! 5-1
Sunday, October 30th
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys (home team is second)
7:30 PM CST on NBC
The Cowboys had a BYE last week. Which meant I had a BYE last week too!
(Like how I worked that in)?
We are definitely NOT on BYE this week. Nope, we're allowing Eagles to come to Dallas and play us at Jerry World.
These aren't the same Eagles as they have been; they are actually decent this year, despite my disdain for them. Their record is 4-2. (1-2 Away, advantage Cowboys ~ This means the Eagles have won only one game at home and lost two on the road; therefore, they are better at home. This week, they're not at home, they are in our house and we will win ~ Cowboys are 2-1 at home).
So, what do we make of this game Sunday night?
Either way, if both teams show up, it's going to be a good game!
Both Offenses are able to throw the ball. Both QB's, Carson Wentz and Dak Prescott, have thrown for over 1300 yards this season.
Wentz has 8 TD's and Prescott has 7.
Wentz has 3 INT's (interceptions) and Dak only has one.
Wentz has a RB (running back), Ryan Matthews, who rushes for an average of 43.67 YPG (yards per game). Dak has a RB, Ezekiel Elliott, who rushes for an average of 117.16 YPG.
Which QB has more O-Line support?
The guy with less INT's (most likely).
Which QB has more play options?
Probably the guy who has healthy WR's and a running back who can put up 117 yards or more.
Which QB gets more rest on the field and off?
The QB with the best O-Line in Football, the best RB in football, and a Defense who has proven themselves week after week to be a contender in this league!
The more balanced you are as a team, the better everyone plays and less mistakes are made. No penalties.
Defense...
The Eagles have held their opponents to 88 points total in 6 games. They are stronger agains the Pass rush (wide receiver corps) than they are against the run, aka, Ezekiel Elliott. Once again, advantage Cowboys.
Injuries...
Dez Bryant is planning to play this week. But if you're watching what I'm watching every Sunday, not sure we need him.
Scandrick and Claiborne are questionable. We need these guys in our secondary (defense). Especially Claiborne! His coverage has been spectacular this season and he has 20 tackles and 1 INT.
Special Teams...
The biggest question for Dallas is Special Team coverage... the Eagles have dominated on Special Teams this year. They have two kicks returned for TD's. Talk about momentum shifter... if your Special Teams unit is scoring and your Offense isn't... it's time to step it up! Or do the Statue of Liberty play.
We will WIN...
As close as stats are, I believe that us, at Home, coming off the BYE week, and everyone getting much needed rest and injury repair, we can throw the Eagles off their game and win this thing!
Cowboys 31 ~ Eagles 24

WORLD SERIES!!!
Chicago Cubs (1) vs. Cleveland Indians (2)
The series was tied 1-1 with first two games played in Cleveland.
Game 3 was played tonight, Friday, in Chicago. Winner is Cleveland. They now lead the series 2-1. First team to win 4 games wins the World Series.
Here is a snapshot from Wikipedia as to the teams who have played the longest without winning a World Series. See where we're at... 3rd in line to the two teams that are in the WS this year. Oh the heartache. "There's always next year," so they say...
No matter who wins this year, there will be one team, still with this drought, still with the unfulfilled dream of bringing a Championship to their city, and unable to relish in the beauty that is October Baseball.
We have a lot of rumors already surrounding our ball club. It will be an interesting off-season for sure!

GO MAVS!!! 0-2 (wins - losses)
Friday night was the Home Opener for the Dallas Mavericks!!!
Sadly, we've lost our first two games of the season.
Despite an almost sold out crowd tonight, Dirk Nowitzki was not able to play for the fans. He was sick.
However, Harrison Barnes, the guy we acquired from the Golden State Warriors (one of the best teams in the NBA last year... they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Championship - minor detail), scored 31 points in the Mavs loss to the Houston Rockets tonight. Without Dirk he stepped up even more than he did in the Season Opener vs. the Indiana Pacers when he put up 19 points. Dirk had 22 points in that game as well.
We're putting up points! That's not an issue. We are second in the NBA for points scored. It looks like it's going to be a defensive battle again this year.
