As many of you know I'm a diehard cowboy fan, but I'm for certain this is not a good match up for the boys.

1. Noon start time- The vikings have played more noon start times this year vs the cowboys- losing only once to the steelers. The cowboys are a prime time team who play the majority of their games at either 3:15pm or 7pm. Don't believe this is reality. Consider that 3 of the vikings losses came when they played at 7:15pm start times (cardinals, panthers, bears).

2. Back to back eagles games- The cowboys have gameplanned for 2 weeks against the same team-the philadelphia eagles. For the first time in football eternity they will get to play a different team who plays a totally different style of football. This is bad news for your cowboys. Imagine how challenging the transition would be if you sparred against a finese boxer for 2 weeks and went out on fight night to fight a slugger..... same thing!

3. Barber's limited- The cowboys will be going up against one of the top 3 sack leaders in football-Jared Allen. With Barber limited, the cowboys lose one the best, blitz-pickup, running backs in the game.

4. Wade will gameplan to stop Favre- The cowboy's run one of the most aggresive 34's against quarterback's in the league. That's the primary reason why they annihilated pass heavy teams such as the saints and eagles, but struggled against more balanced teams with power runners, such as the giants. Wade will get out coached by Mr. Noodle, opting to go after Favre vs keying in on Adrian Peterson. Expect Minnesota to rack up well over 150 yards rushing next Sunday, controlling time of possesion, and putting a ton of pressure on Romo and Garrett. And you know what happens when Romo is pressured.....

In my opinion this is the worst possible matchup for Dallas in the playoffs.
Outcome....... 23-17 in overtime-Minnesota wins. Thank you Dallas for our first playoff win since my days in high school.
