I think whoever scores first will win.

I wish this was an earlier game. I go to work Sunday Night.

I don't know who to root for. I guess Washington to see a RGIII/Russell Wilson first round matchup?

Definitely nervous about this game. My heart tells me to pick Dallas, my brain says Dallas has been a different team this year, yet reality goes back to Week 12 this season and Week 17 last season in which the Cowboys put out less than inspiring performances.

I simply hope Romo doesn't have one of those games where everything that will go wrong does. The guy has played amazing these last few weeks and the last thing I'd want to hear going into the offseason are the countless talking heads stating "Romo is not the answer".

I think Seattle would mop the floor with either Washington or Dallas at this point, but that's a discussion for next week.

If I'm not mistaken, the Cowboys have been in this position twice over the past 3 years. Last season, Week 17, if we beat the Giants we win division, only to come out with a no-heart performance being embarrassed 31-14. 2009 same scenario, same effort, same result, 44-6 lost to the Eagles. Both games were on the road for the division title and they failed miserably.

Now, we are not the same team as those Cowboys, we have a much better defense, and the lack of "experience" the Redskins have make me feel more comfortable, but the Cowboys always put themselves in these positions. I think the key to success for the Cowboys this game is going to be pressure with their front 4. It's been a while since I've called Damarcus Ware's name or felt his presence out there, but I don't trust this secondary of the Cowboys against those Redskins receivers. If the Cowboys can get early pressure on RGIII, I think the Boys have a good shot.

But I'm still not betting on them haha.

How have these Cowboys fared against the potential elements in this game? I am hoping the elements will play a role in favor of the Skins.

RG3 has to "pay his dues" man. He can't just come in the league and taste the playoffs right away. LOL.
