Haven’t heard anyone on our team mention Dallas once. Were we a little TOO happy with the Minnesota win? Of course its a major reason to celebrate, but i wanted to hear at least one guy say ‘Dallas’ . Not sure we’ll be ready on a short week and that’s why I’m reluctantly picking the Cowboys.
Both teams are on a short week, Dallas and Detroit.
Having said that, my biggest concern in this game is a slow start or the infamous let down after achieving a season long goal, although that doesn’t mean the prep didn’t start late Sunday if not prior.
Of course. And the home team always has a bit of an extra advantage on a short week. three days vs four days prep time. if it were a regular week, it would be four days vs. five days.
Hoping Dan and the staff have our team really really ready for this game. Two seed would be awesome.
I saw on TV today that Dallas averages 40 points a game at home, versus 22 ppg on the road. If this was in Detroit, we would be favored instead of being 7 point underdogs.
We are awesome in primetime though, and our guys know that this would be a staple win for us. I expect that this will feel a lot like the Green Bay game last year…our guys will be fired up.
I said Detroit squeaker because the hope is offset by trying to not have to high of expectations, coupled with Dak having a way of screwing things up after being awesome.
