Rush Job

There's only one way for the Cowboys to win this game, and I'm confident that it won't take long for Dallas offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to figure it out. The Chargers' sole weakness over their last three games has been their inability to stop the run—and they've been particularly susceptible to rushes out wide, allowing 4.3 yards per attempt around left end and 6.1 yards around the right. Look for Garrett to attack on the edges with his three-headed rushing monster of Marion Barber(below), Tashard Choice and the speedy Felix Jones. Dallas is the more desperate team, with a much tougher December schedule than San Diego's, so I'm going with Cowboys 30, Chargers 27.
