1st Key: No More Penalties! Especially offensive penalties. Last week the Cowboys could have had at least two more scores if it wasn’t for penalties.

I know the crazy stat where the Cowboys have a winning record in the games where they have more penalties for more yards, but that won’t cut it in the playoffs.

2nd Key: Slow Down Peterson. I don’t think Dallas will shut him down but they need to keep him from breaking huge plays for TDs. Cowboys have been pretty good at stopping the run, but we haven’t faced a back like Adrian Peterson. They need to keep him out of the secondary!

3rd Key: Score Early! Come out of the gate with some tenacity, march down the field, and score on the first possession. The last three regular season games the Cowboys scored on their first possessions and won the game!

4th Key: Brett Favre. If the Cowboys can jump out to an early lead, Favre is going to play catch up and try to with the game. If Favre starts “slinging” the ball around, they have no chance. Cowboys need to pressure Favre and make him uncomfortable.

Viking offensive line has been struggling as of late, and they will have a hard time with our D-line. I think Farve will revert back to the “Gunslinger”, and we will be able to get some easy picks.

I’m taking the Cowboys by 10 over the Vikings. Good luck Cowboys, and here’s to another Victory Monday and hopefully two more to follow!!!!
