NFL: Dallas Cowboys vs Indianapolis Colts matchup analysis

The Indianapolis Colts who already clinched the division title will travel to Dallas to face the playoffs chasing Cowboys who must win to stay ahead of the Eagles who have an easier matchup this week against the weak Redskins, to do that Romo have to be relaxed an play confident without consider all the past years failure in this period and also don't care about the medias who can't wait that he will fail to cover him with critycs, on the other side Andrew Luck need to play better all game long and not only in the last drive as it happened in last weeks because against a very good team like the COwboys are it probably won't be enough to win.

The Cowboys need to turn around the things at home, they need to play better and it' won't be easy to do that against the Colts because Murray still questionable after the surgery to repair his fractured hand that along with RG Zack Martin injury could be 2 huge absences for the home team. The Colts have their best WR TY Hilton in doubt for this game and against the not brilliant Cowboys secondary should be a foundamental weapon along with the veteran Reggie Wayne, the other key offensively for the Colts will be don't make the error to only rely on the passing game because the Cowboys defense is not great on both department especially at home. On defense they will need to put CB Vontae Davis on Dez Bryant, despite Davis is a very good CB i don't think he can cover alone Bryant especially down field so he will need an help  over the top by a safety. The other problem for the Colts' secondary will be Witten and i think the best way to cover him will be let MLB Jackson to cover him because he has the size cover the future hall of famer TE, both game plans should change so much base on if Murray will play or not because against the bad Colts defense against the runs he could run 200 yards easly and get lots of attentions that should let the entire Colts' defense play committed to the run and this should leave uncovered the majority of the Dallas receivers. On defense the Cowboys must inmprove on their secondary especially Carr must do that because is payed like a superstar and they need him to play like that, the front 7 will need to provide great pressure on Luck to avoid to send a D-Back or more in blitz to leave uncovered certain zones or players, to do that DT Melton and LE Selvie must be dominant even due to the absence of T Cherilus.

My prediction for the final result is: Cowboys 45 Colts 32 with a big IF...if Murray will play because the MVP of the game in my opinion will be the Cowboys RB if he would play HEALTY and CB Vontae Davis as the X factor of the game to try to limit or stop the red hot Dez Bryant.
