Prediction
The Seahawks and Cowboys are equals in the running game – that’s where the similarities end. Offensively Dallas is limited to DeMarco Murray and Dez Bryant. The Seahawks have the option to give the ball to Marshawn Lynch or Percy Harvin in both the ground game or passing attack. Lynch has been used as a receiver more than usual and with Harvin adding a threat that not too many teams can simulate in practice, the two will cause problems for the Cowboys defense.
Add on Russell Wilson’s ability to make plays with his feet, as witnessed last week against the Redskins with 122 rushing yards and three total touchdown. The third-year QB is so fundamentally sound and rarely makes a mistake.
The Cowboys will have to play nearly perfect football to win in Seattle, a place that only one opponent has managed to walk out victorious in the past 20 games.
