Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys preview

The Seattle Seahawks (2-4) are on the road Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys (4-2).  After Matt Hasselbeck missed two games with broken ribs, he came back with authority two weeks ago and led the Seahawks to a 41-0 win over Jacksonville.  It looked to be a fluke though, as the offense was nearly non-existent and lost 27-3 to Arizona.  If they want to keep up with the Cowboys and their high scoring offense, they will need a big game out of Hasselbeck and will definitely need more than 5 yards out of Julius Jones, which was the running back’s total last week.

The Seahawks defense will have their hands full with Tony Romo and his new favorite target Miles Austin.  Austin was a nobody up until week five when he got his first start of his career.  In the Cowboys last two games, Austin has 421 yards on 16 catches and four touchdowns.  They also have to deal with a Cowboys running game that averages 153 yards a game, with Marion Barber leading the way for them.  I think the Cowboys offense will put too many points on the board for the Seahawks to keep up with and it may be a blowout.

FINAL SCORE PREDICTION:  Seattle Seahawks 14, Dallas Cowboys 31

    I think you are right about this game. The Seahawks have not traveled well this season and they will have a hard time stopping the Cowboys’ offense.
