<ST1:COUNTRY-REGION><ST1LACE>Chad</ST1LACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> Johnson hasn’t been saying much this week as he prepares to face a second cousin in consecutive weeks. Last week it was actually head-to-head with Samari Rolle and this week he’ll watch Keyshawn Johnson do his thing. Johnson has caught 36 passes for 550 yards and a TD this season. <O></O>
Defensively the Bengals have lost key players throughout the season and last week it was DL Tony Williams who broke his ankle. They’re giving up 155 YPG on the ground and the only good news in that area is the fact that Dallas has yet to establish the run although that began to change last week against Detroit as Eddie George nearly topped the century mark. <O></O>
The Bengals have shown they can score and play hard when motivated (MNF for example) and they’ll face a Cowboys squad that is 1-2 SU/ATS on the road allowing 31 PPG @ <ST1:STATE><ST1LACE>Minnesota</ST1LACE></ST1:STATE>, <ST1:STATE><ST1LACE>Washington</ST1LACE></ST1:STATE> and GB. Granted, Carson Palmer has a long way to go to draw comparisons to Duante Culpepper or Brett Favre but the Heisman winner will get a chance to show his stuff today. <O></O>
Offensively the Pokes have only Johnson left in the fold as far as WR go after losing Terry Glenn with a broken foot and Quincy Morgan nursing a sore hamstring. <ST1:CITY><ST1LACE>Dallas</ST1LACE></ST1:CITY> is 4-22 SU in non-division road games since ’99 and 8-20 ATS on the road off a win.
