The Cowboys play Sunday at 3:15 against Washington with the Redskins looking for a chance at the playoffs. As of earlier today, the Skins were a six point favorite and that sounds about right to me. Do not look for the Cowboys to come out and play their starters the entire game or the first half for that matter. Be looking for players Brad Johnson and Bobby Carpenter to get plenty of playing time and for Julius Jones to get at least 20 carries. After T.O.'s injury last week you can't expect Wade to play his starters for long in case of injury. It would be nice to see Terry Glenn get out there and get some reps but I don't know if they would even want to risk him in this case. The Cowboys have nothing to play for and should rest everybody. The risk is that the Cowboys will be rusty when it comes time to play in the playoffs, but they will be at home in front of a crazy crowd and there should be no problem being ready to play either the Bucs or the Seahawks.
Prediction: Washington 24, Cowboys 14
Should the Pats go for 16-0?
I think they should try to win the game, but much like the Cowboys they should and will rest their starters. The Giants will be doing the same thing since they are already have a lock on a playoff spot and therefore the Pats have a good chance at going through their season undefeated. Look for Matt Cassell (USC alum) to get plenty of playing time in replace of Brady and he is a viable backup that should be able to move the ball against the Giants J.V.
Prediction: Pats 17, Giants 10

I think the Cowboys will give Romo & Glenn a half together, at least a quarter. More than that would be unwise, for either of them.
If I'm New England, I make sure I win that game. Sure, winning the Superbowl is great, but don't forget they've already done that 3 times.
It's been since '72 since anyone went undefeated and they're still talked about. Winning a 4th Superbowl would be nice, but I think they're focused on the "perfect season" as a higher goal.
I would be, if I was on their team.
However, I still think they should have had to forfeit that first game of the season (at a minimum), so then this would be moot.
Go Cowboys!
How sweet it would be for the Cowboys to avenge their loss and beat New England in the Superbowl?!
Still, I'd rather play somebody else. Not only are the Patriots quite good, I don't want to fuel any further "dynasty" talk.
