My biggest problem with picking next weekend’s playoff winners, especially in the NFC, is the Cowboys and Cardinals are fresh in my mind. They both looked really great on offense in their wild-card wins, while the last time I saw the Saints and the Vikings, well, neither one was playing super.
So, I’m picking the Cowboys and the Cardinals. But I’m giving the Saints a chance because I’m a Saints guy. In the AFC, I like the Chargers and the Colts.
Cowboys at Vikings: I am thinking Dallas will get pressure all over Brett Favre. I think they will get in his face. The Cowboys will stop the run — I don’t think Adrian Peterson has had a 100-yard game in quite a while — and force Favre to throw to win. As well as Dallas is playing right now, I just don’t expect the Cowboys to have a letdown — not like Green Bay’s defense did against Arizona. I think Dallas is by far the best team right now.
I say that because New Orleans has lost three in a row and Minnesota won only one of their last four, and that was against a Giants team that had its vacation bags packed before they played. That’s a false sense of confidence for the Vikings.
Now, I do believe the Vikings will go into this game believing they can win, but Dallas is by far playing better defense right now than Minnesota did in the last month of the season. And offensively, I would say they are a step ahead of the Vikings, too.
The Cowboys have the running game going, and Tony Romo is making good decisions with the football. I have a history with Favre, and he’s proven to me that he can succeed come January time and time again. He has had such a great season at 40 years old. I am still so amazed at what he’s accomplished this season. I mean, we never would have known what a great receiver Sidney Rice was if Brett hadn’t shown up in Minnesota.
