NFC Wildcard Playoff Preview













Dallas Cowboys (9-7)
@ Seattle Seahawks (9-7)
Bill Parcells and the Dallas Cowboys come into their wildcard showdown with a two game losing streak and Tony Romo coming back to Earth. The Seahawks have looked nothing like the dominant team that went to the Super Bowl last year. The line is the Seahawks are giving 3. I think a shaky performance by Tony Romo will sink Dallas and give the Seahawks the edge. Look for Seattle to get its act together and be ready to face the Bears next week.

Prediction: Seahawks 27 Cowboys 21

New York Giants (8-8) @ Philadelphia Eagles (10-6)
Jeff Garcia has revitalized his career back with the Eagles West Coast Offense. Eli Manning and the Giants might have saved Tom Coughlin's job with the win last week. If they lose to the Eagles, and they will, there will be more calls for his job. I just don't believe in Eli, who in my opinion has regressed this year. Tiki had a monster game last week, but I don't think he will repeat this against the Eagles. Even though they split their two regular season games, the Eagles dominated both before collapsing in the first game. Look for the Eagles to get out early, neutralize the Giants running game and force Eli into several mistakes.

Prediction: Eagles 34 Giants 17
