Predicting the NFL Playoffs: Divisional Round

Cowboys at Packers: I’m pretty sure that last week was one of the few times a Packers fan found themselves rooting for the Detriot Lions. A Lions victory over the Cowboys would have brought a Panthers team into Lambeau, that struggled to find offense at times, against the high-powered Packers offense led by Aaron Rodgers.

Now we’ll get another high-powered offense coming into Green Bay, in the Cowboys. Temps will be cold, and there’s a chance of snow, but I still expect this to be a shootout.

Rodgers isn’t 100% with the calf tear, and Romo is playing some of the best football of his career. I expect this game to come down to the running backs, and not the two gun-slinging quarterbacks. Demarco Murray is the better back, but Eddie Lacy is a little more accustomed to the weather ahead.

I had the Packers and Seahawks in the NFC Championship to start the season….there’s no turning back now.
