Is it just me, or is the media hyping GB?

Dont think they are unbeatable at all, wouldnt be surprised if Seattle would blow them out. its just a tough matchup for our defense

If the Packers and Seahawks advance it's quite possible Seattle could blow Green Bay out the game will be in Seattle. The Packers are not the same dominate team on the road and 3 of the 4 teams that have beaten them this season had defenses ranked in the top 10 including Seattle. The Seahawks harassed Rodgers all game long in the opener at Seattle and if they meet up in the title game Rodgers will be under siege again. One big concern with the Cowboys this season has been their lack of a pass rush and if it doesn't show up on Sunday Rodgers will shred them.

Rodgers was sacked 9 times in the Packers 4 losses and was under constant pressure in those games. The key to beating the Packers is to get after Rodgers especially with his mobility being limited with his injury. The Cowboys can't allow him to beat them from the pocket they have to force him to move laterally and disrupt his timing. If we can't get pressure on him he'll be throwing strikes all day. No QB performs well under pressure and if you're going to contain Aaron Rodgers you have to apply pressure. The Cowboys are a poor coverage team so it's either apply pressure on Sunday or it's going to be a long day.

The Colts were 11-5 and just won a playoff game. They have one of the best young QB's in the league granted once you get past Luck there's not a lot there but the Cowboys win over them in week 16 was a huge win that sewed up the NFC East. Hard to say that wasn't a quality win with everything that was riding on it for the Cowboys.

Look past the win total and towards advanced metrics.

Also Carolina just won a playoff game. If you want to crown them then crown them.

Carolina won only 7 games in 2014 compared to 11 wins for the Colts. How can you consider beating a 10 win Philly team that was being led by Mark Sanchez as a quality win and not consider beating an 11 win Colts team that sealed the NFC East for the Cowboys as a quality win? That win over the Colts was a huge win for the Cowboys and some were picking the Colts to win that game. I don't know what advanced metrics you're looking at but that win over the Colts was a quality win. The Colts beat 2 playoff teams this season the same number as the Cowboys and Packers.

Sorry just not impressed with the Colts.

But what are we arguing over? Whether the Cowboys had 2 quality wins verses 3?

Fact remains our schedule was soft.

Quite. The Colts were still an awesome win. We all agree or disagree or whatever.

you are a smart mans but i do not agree about the Ravens. but i would love to play Denver. I feel Denver is overrated and the Pats are underrated.

If i am a disinterestedness fan i would say Green Bay vs. New England in the Superbowl.
My heart say to me, "Gimmie, wise landlord, it will be Dallas vs. New England." That make me worried.

so you think Baltimore has no chance against New England? I disagree. I think New England is shaking in their boots as we speak!

There's no point in arguing it if that's how you see it then fine but I doubt you'll find anyone else who thinks the win over the Colts wasn't a quality win.

GB deserves the credit for being an impressive and at times dominant team at home. But to counter the OP's point, the closer we get to the game, many analysts are not only saying this will be a close game but that Dallas will win. Even here in DC, they are begrudgingly picking Dallas.

I also heard the line has moved down to 5.5.
