The Titans are looking to become the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to cap off an undefeated season with a Super Bowl win. While Dallas looks to get revenge for its only loss of the season, a 23-15 defeat to the Titans in Nashville in week 16. The Cowboys have the advantage of being able to play this Super Bowl in their own stadium, and although the Titans will have their share of fans there, the Cowboys expect a huge home field advantage.
As with every Super Bowl, the media circus began earlier this week in Big D. The week kicked off with the annual "Tony Romo 'This Is The Year I Finally Don't Choke Away a Big Game' Golf Tournament." It's always a big event in Dallas, but this year, with the Cowboys actually in the big game, and with it being played in Dallas, Romo brought out the big guns.
Tiger Woods made his first public appearance since November and played a round with Romo, who donned a sweet throwback Starter hat. Tiger was also gracious enough to pose for a few pictures on hole #1, although Romo was puzzled by the sudden disapperance of Tiger and Jessica Simpson after the group teed off. (Boom, Roasted!)
Meanwhile, Titans RB Chris Johnson took time during his busy week to enjoy some educational sight-seeing around Big D. After a trip to the John F. Kennedy assassination museum, CJ visited the Dallas courthouse, where he learned about all sorts of court cases and mumbo jumbo. While on the visit, CJ posted this to his always informative Twitter Account : "Ridin In the courthouse me who dat pimpin the Marlins cap dig CJ2k what?!"
Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones has been on cloud 9 all week, just thinking about how much money he's going to make with a) hosting the Super Bowl, b) selling Cowboys super Bowl Champion merchandise, and c) winning the "Dancing with the Stars Super Bowl Edition" with his dance partner and new man-crush, Steve Urkel.
When it's all said and done though, the Super Bowl is about the game, and these two teams look to fight it out on the field to determine the best team in season 2 of RUTS2. The Titans boast the NFL's MVP in Chris Johnson and AP Defensive Player of the Year Cortland Finnegan, while the Cowboys rely on an array of talented superstars on both sides of the ball. Qb Tony Romo has had his best year as a pro and with two rookie WRs, TE Jason Witten, and RBs Marion Barber and Felix Jones at his disposal, the Cowboys will most certainly look to score more than the 15 points they put up in Nashville in week 16.
Dating back to RUTS1, Titans Coach UTVOL54 has won the past 4 games against his brother, Coach utvol27. However, he knows winning this game will be extremely difficult.
"Dallas just doesn't make a lot of mistakes," he said. "So that means our offense also has to take care of the football at all times, limit penalties and turnovers, and then play defense like a bunch of caged bulls. Our biggest decision is going to be which uniforms we wear. Our players really want to wear our AFC Oilers throwbacks, so we can state claim that we own the state of Texas!"
As with most battles between these brothers, it should come down to the wire. We look for an exciting game, which will likely be low scoring. The difference in the game will be turnovers, and although Vince Young has been stellar lately, not having thrown an INT in 4 or 5 games, we think the Cowboys talented defense will force an INT at a crucial time and beat the undefeated Titans, 24-21.

I agree with this out come but the score is 27-20. Vince Young will lose the game! But Cowboys should be careful after fumbling the ball 3 times verse the Cardinals! Good news was that Vick wanted to make sure they got the ball back.
TItans still missing a few holes on offense! While the Cowboys Rookie Receivers are the weakness of the cowboys, they prove incredible verse the Cardinals, not dropping anything! Yet Fitzgerald dropped 2 or 3! Look for the cowboy receivers to play well again and make some big 3rd down catches to seal the game.
This reporter also hates the Cowboys and personally says go Titans! Boom Roasted!
