Pre-Game:
Of the 4 playoff games this week, this game is predicted to be the closest one amongst all the top betting sites by looking at the point spread, and I would have to agree. Get ready for an offensive showdown with the Vikings and Cowboys prolific offenses. We will see if the Cowboys #2 ranking in the NFL in points per game allowed can maintain Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings offense.
Dallas Cowboys:
Dallas has really impressed me these past 2 months, having won 6 out of their last 8 games played, including 2 very impressive back-to-back wins against the Eagles. Tony Romo finally led his team to a playoff victory, and believe it or not but that was Dallas’ first postseason win since 1996. Maybe with that monkey off their back now will lead them to the Super Bowl appearance.
Minnesota Vikings:
Minnesota has been a little shaky in the past month. They started off extremely strong but lost 3 of their last 5 games going into the playoffs. Not exactly what a team needs going into the postseason, unlike the Cowboys who seem to be peaking at the right time. Brett Favre statistically has had his best season this year of his career. Who would have thought it would have been in a purple and white jersey instead of a green and white uniform.
Dallas Cowboys vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction:
Here comes the game of the week in my book, the Cowboys vs the Vikings. If you read my pre-season predictions before the season started you would have noticed how I predicted the Vikings to make it to the Super Bowl, and I will continue to honor that prediction. Brett Favre has had an outstanding year and he always seems to step it up another level in the high pressure games, and I foresee him doing just that in this game against the red hot Cowboys. Tony Romo had his glory last week winning his first playoff game for the Cowboys and their first since 1996, but this game will be Brett Favre’s time to shine. Favre will lead his Minnesota Vikings to victory in this game and advance to the NFC Championship game. Minnesota beats the point spread in a high scoring game.
