Lions at Cowboys: Expect a shootout in Dallas to close the wild card round.

The Lions are coming off yet another disappointing loss at Lambeau Field as the Packers took the NFC North. The Lions caught a break when Ndamukong Suh won his appeal, and will be allowed to play after purposely stepping on the leg of quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Expect a heavy dose of Matthew Stafford to Calvin Johnson, to go with a heaping helping of Tony Romo to Dez Bryant.

Ultimately I think the running game will decide this outcome. Jerry Jones is happy one more week.
