CBS - National - 4:25 EST

Low 50s and dry.... over-under 55.5

Great matchup of high powered offenses

Colts average 30 points and 421 yards a game

Cowboys are 3rd in the NFL in rushing with 146 yards a game.

Andrew Luck (355 of 579, 4,492) needs 508 yards in 2 games to become the first Colts QB to reach 5,000

Luck has 38 TDs and 14 Interceptions... but he also has 70 completions of 20 yards or more (No.1 in the NFL)

Tony Romo (264 of 381, 3,188) has 28 TD sand eight interceptions

RB DeMarco Murray (351 carries, 1,687 yards) is questionable due to a broken bone in his left hand.

But the Colts TY Hilton (82 catches, 1,345 yards) missed 2 days of practice this week.

Cowboys Dez Bryant (had 1,148 yards and 13 TDs on 79 catches but no one has caught a TD pass on Colts Vontae

Davis this season.

Dallas (10-4) is 3-4 at home this season but the Colts (10-4) are just 3-3 on the road.

Colts are the No.1 seed in the AFC of they win their final 2 games (Dallas and Tennesse) while NE and Denver lose their final 2

Dallas is NFC East champ if they win their last 2 over Indy and at Washington.

With 3 points? I'd take the Colts.

They match up well here..Dallas has given up 27 or more the last 4 weeks..

the over is likely

Should that happen, monkeys will surely fly out of my butt.  It's good to dream about though.....

You dream about monkeys flying out of your butt? 

 

So, basically they're saying it's an even game?  I'm kind of surprised considering the Boys need it badly and we most likely won't play guys who are banged up.

 

I go to Dallas a lot on business travel and it's always more fun to listen to their talk radio when they're losing.  Let's keep it that way!

No, the emphasis was on the very unlikely chance that the Colts could be the number one seed...it is not going to happen, no way, no how.

 

As for this weekend, I don't expect us to win, but remain hopeful that the Colts actually show up and play the kind of football we all know they are capable of playing.

 

As for dreaming about monkey's flying out my butt........of course, doesn't everyone?

I don't see the Dallas defense holding the Colts down all say..

even if TY Hilton doesn't play, the Colts are not short of receivers.

..and I believe coach Chuck when he says they're going all out to win. Vontae Davis not playing is a minus.

But Dallas can score,,.the question is can they outscore the Colts in what, for them, is a must gane

Good weather... a couple of wins in a row...

...with 'Mr. Perfect' kicking.....and you get 3 points?

I'd take the Colts straight up and, again, the 'over' seems obvious.

This game will be all about the OL's ...    If Indy can stop Dallas's running game...  Murray or not, they will be ok...   if not ..  ughhhh

 

And Indy really needs to START running the ball and with that will come an easier time protecting Luck.  

 

Indy getting only 3 and half is really puzzling to me.   Dallas has EVERYTHING to play for...  , Indy...  not much really.    

 

Vegas is usually close so?

I'm more concerned that the Colts offense will hold itself down by continuing to commit turnovers and shooting themselves in the foot.  This is not a game where Luck can really afford to gift wrap points for Dallas or leave points on the field.  My head says Dallas wins this one as I just can't see the Colts fairing well on both sides of the line of scrimmage...pretty bad match up.  But these are the guys wearing the horse shoe and something is telling me that the Colts will some how find a way to pull this one out...30-27 (if T.Y. is able to go).

Not necessarily. If the cowboys run as well as they usually do they might control the clock with long time consuming drives this creating limited possessions for both teams.

Boys wont have Murray much if at all...not with a broken hand...Romo may have a big day

..but they do not have much defense

Colts will get their usual 30 points

I think the Colts get a break if DeMarco Murray plays.

Watch when he's in the game....He cant catch passes..and they wont want him pass blocking.

When Murray is in,.,.its a run to him..and he cant stiff arm you a lot with a broken hand.

When you step back for a minute..a ball carrier..playing with a broken hand?

In a game that is no longer a must-win for Dallas.?

Its foolish
