NFC East division winner preview?

I am going to go over and analyze this week's Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles match up.

Both teams are coming off overrated wins. This will be an interesting game considering the fact that neither Dallas or Philly was really tested last week. McNabb unquestionably looked really good, but the lack of any receiving talent will really test his ability to put points on the board. On Dallas, its the other way around. While Romo is a great QB, he has the uncanny ability to be very unpredictable, an example of this would be last season, where he put up record breaking numbers the first half of the season and then suddenly almost lost to a terrible bills team that was 0-6, throwing ints that weren't remotely close to his intended targets. As a cowboys fan this has been very frustrating. If Romo plays well I believe that the game will be over in the 3rd quarter. However if he plays an average game, McNabb's experience should be able to tip the scale in the Eagles favor.

5 keys to success:

Dallas

1. PLAY DEFENSE! (The cowboys rely on their offense WAY too much)

2. Give Romo time (They did this great against a terrible Brown's D)

3. Pressure McNabb (He doesn't have any good jump ball receivers, you pressure him, he throws picks)

4. Don't commit stupid/any penalties!!! (Do I even need to comment!)

5. Balance the offense (Owens AND Barber are a deadly combo)

Philadelphia

1. Shake up Romo (He is emotional, if he goes down, so does the offense)

2. Get the ball in Westbrook's hands (The guy is a beast, nuff said)

3. Throw the long ball (This is what Philly does well, and with a slow Anthony Henry and a rusty Pacman Jones the Eagles could put up some quick points in this dept.)

4. Let McNabb play. (The guy is not a rookie, if he gets in his grove he is one of the NFL's best)

5. If in doubt go to LJ (The Eagles TE is quickly becoming one of McNabb's favorite targets, I have been very impressed by this guy!)

I think the winner of this game will end up winning the NFC East.

My prediction is that Dallas will indeed win, not because I am a Dallas fan, but because with Feilx Jones and Marion Barber on the ground and then Romo throwing to T.O, Witten, Crayton and potentially Glenn it will simply overpower a Eagles team that just doesn't have the reviving talent to match up.

Dallas wins 35-24
