Everyone knows TO, and Romo, and everyone knows that this Thursday the number two offense in the NFL (Dallas) is hosting the number three offense in the NFL (Green Bay)

But how good is the Dallas offense really? The Cowboys are second in the NFL not just in yards, but in points as well. Lets look at who they played, and how their defense stacks up.

Cowboys 2007 Opponents
Week Opponent Defensive Rank (PPG)
1 Giants 16th
2 Miami 27th
3 Bears 20th
4 Rams 29th
5 Buffalo 23rd
6 New England 5th
7 Minnesota 13th
8 Bye N/A
9 Philadelphia 9th
10 Giants 16th
11 Washington 15th
12 Jets 28th
Packers 2007 Opponents
Week Opponent Defensive Rank (PPG)
1 Philadelphia 9th
2 Giants 16th
3 San Diego 12th
4 Minnesota 13th
5 Chicago 20th
6 Washington 15th
7 Bye N/A
8 Denver 31st
9 Kansas City 8th
10 Minnesota 13th
11 Carolina 18th
12 Detroit 26th

All of the Cowboys opponents average out to 18th in the league, 3 below average.

Green Bays opponents average out to 16th in the league, just 1 spot below average.

This looks to be a tight game, and while the defenses these two teams have faced are not that much different, the nod in this case goes to the Pack.
