Trap game? Dallas will be hungry for a win after last week's debacle. And plus the Vikings are a one dimensional offense.
Unlike the Lions, which gave a heavy dose of Reggie Bush and Calvin Johnson. Will DeMarcus Ware be back?

I'm worried this is going to be the game that Adrian Peterson has his best rushing performance of the 2013 season.
His best game this season came against the Steelers: 23 rushes for 140 yards (6.1 ypc) and 2 Touchdowns.

Has to be extra motivating to come back to his home state and play the Dallas Cowboys. Emmitt Smith was his idol growing up.
People think Peterson will break his all-time rushing record. Given his slow start to 2013, I'm not sure but we'll see.

"I've been in the league seven years," Peterson told Wiederer. "I'm already right around (9,000). Calculate it out ... Let's think. Maybe get a couple 2,000-yard seasons ... I've got ... Hmmm ... 2017."

He sure as heck isn't going to do it during the 2017 regular season at this pace. The problem is running backs tend to fall off the map very fast around the age of 30 to 33. He'll already turn 29 years old in March. We should see a decline in the next few years if not already. He's had three bad games already this season, with two average games, and only two monster games.

I don't think he'll have any luck running against us - most teams don't, and he's been shut down by worse in recent weeks.

Should be a massacre at home this weekend...need to get back over .500 and stay that way for the rest of the year.

Washington should lose against Rivers and the Chargers, but the Eagles have a winnable game against the Raiders, so they might not be any further behind after the weekend is up. If their QBs keep playing the way they have recently though, we might end up further ahead after all.

I think 8-8 may be enough for the Dallas Cowboys to win the NFC East but I'm still hopeful they can finish 10-6 or 9-7 at worse.

I know what they say about being able to throw records out the window when it comes to divisional matchups, but we're on pace (and should be able) to sweep the ENTIRE DIVISION. I'll be upset if we finish with less than 10 wins.

You have to keep an eye on the Redskins though. I think they will go on a winning streak.
