Preview Cowboys vs Browns

The Cowboys are in yet another great position to gain some ground on the Giants. They play one of the worst teams in the league while the Giants have a bye week and can't do anything but watch. Getting the win over Philly last week was huge, they are back in the race for not just a wild card, but the East champions. Here are the keys to win the game.

Offensive line
If the offensive line produces, then everything else will start clicking too. It is simple, if the offensive line gets good blocks, Tony Romo will have time to throw. If Romo has time to throw, it will lead to better decision making, which will stop turnovers. Also if the blocks are there, the run game will produce. Murray may be back for this game which will be great for the run game. But if he isn't, then Jones should be able to carry the team if the blocks are there. This Browns defense has been known to give some teams trouble, so the offensive line needs to be there in order to secure this win.

Turnovers
Romo has been improving greatly since his 4 interception and 5 interception games. He hasn't thrown 1 interception in the past 2 games. If he doesn't throw any interceptions again, this game will be a secured victory.

Run defense
Brandon Weeden has not been spectacular this year and shutting down the Browns wide receivers will not be a problem for the Cowboys secondary. But the Dallas run defense has been giving up too many yards on the ground. They need to be able to make sure they can shut down Trent Richardson. He is a big running back that can get those 3rd and 1s every time. Making sure he doesn't find the end zone is very important for the Cowboys to win this game.

The Browns gave the Eagles plenty of trouble in week 1, and even beat the Chargers in a great defensive battle. The Cowboys need to just take this game easy. Make sure they don't get over confident, they are in a great position to make a run to the playoffs, losing to the Browns is not an option.

My prediction is the Cowboys dominate the Browns in Dallas, they show why they are real play off contenders and they get the win.
Cowboys 38-10

Go Cowboys!
