Playoffs!?!??!?!?! Part 2

Yesterday, I told you the Colts will outgun the Chiefs to advance to the second round of the playoffs. Today, I bestow more knowledge upon you, telling you who will win Saturday night's wildcard matchup, leaving you free to watch that show about robbing Mick Jagger on your DVR. I think I might have seen a commercial for that. Maybe just one.






DALLAS COWBOYS (9-7)
AT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (9-7)
SATURDAY, 7 PM CST

*SEAHAWKS O (19TH OVERALL, 14TH RUSH, 20TH PASS)
V. COWBOYS D (13TH OV, 10TH R, 24TH P)

Dallas has lost 3 out its last 4 games. The blame for that has been focused mainly on Tony Romo and TO, who are offensive players. I am going to concur and say it is clearly their fault and the fault of the Dallas offense that the Cowboys have given up 39, 23, 28, and 42 points respectively their last 4 times out. Sometimes it amazes me that none of the major networks pregame show teams have managed to cure cancer or come up with a valid unified field theory yet. I guess for now we will have to settle for dead-on analysis like the aforementioned.

ADVANTAGE- SEAHAWKS

*COWBOYS O (5TH OVERALL, 13TH RUSH, 5TH PASS)
V. SEAHAWKS D (19TH OV, 22ND R, 16TH P)

The Cowboys have been held under 100 yards rushing 3 weeks in a row. That means that to succeed, they'll have to throw the ball. That's a problem though, because in those same 3 weeks, Seattle hasn't allowed any of its opponents to throw for over 180 yards. That is due in large part though, to their run defense getting shredded every week. It's going to be on Julius Jones and/or Marion Barber to step up and win this game for the Cowboys, and I don't think, given their performances down the stretch this year, that they have it in them.

ADVANTAGE- SEAHAWKS

*VARIOUS AND SUNDRY

Dallas peaked on Thanksgiving Day, when Tony Romo threw 5 TD passes against the Bucs and nobody could stop themselves from sniffing his fragrant butthole. Seattle, on the other hand, has not peaked yet, but they look like they could be headed in that direction. This is virtually the same team that steamrolled thru the NFC playoffs last year, and they are just now getting comfortable with each other again after missing their quarterback and defending league MVP running back for most of this season. They are the most dangerous team in the NFC right now.

ADVANTAGE- SEAHAWKS


*HERE'S YOUR FORECAST
I know the physical laws of this universe have pretty much been non-applicable in this NFL season, but in my country, you don't lose at home to the Lions one week, then go on the road and win a playoff game the next. The Seahawks turn back the clock to January 2006 and whoop some ass.

SEAHAWKS 30, COWBOYS 17
