I feel like this is the first year where any team in the playoffs has a legitimate shot at the Superbowl. So many teams have flaws that many matchups are coin flips.

Colts over Texans.
Cowboys over Seattle
Chargers over Ravens
Bears over Eagles

I will not be at all surprised if any of these games end differently.

Seahawks have a better QB and coach but Cowboys have a better defense and are at home. Hopefully Seattle wins for America.

I hope Chargers finally decide to not be losers and win it all.

I feel like this is the first year where any team in the playoffs has a legitimate shot at the Superbowl.

Legitimate shot sure, but I think we're still looking at pretty strong odds of yet another 1st seed vs 1st seed Superbowl. I will say if any wild card team is gonna make it to the big game, I'd bet on the Colts by virtue of how sharply they turned the second half of their season around to even make the playoffs in the first place. But most of the playoff teams this year have had some serious consistency issues on one side of the ball or the other this season, and it's no surprise that the two teams that have played the most consistently all year long are the two top seeds.

I like the Bears defense but their offense has been all over the place this season and I don't see them beating the Rams again, or beating the Saints.

I classify the Rams and Chargers as being 'good but not good enough' this year. Now obviously they're in the playoffs so they're still very much in contention, I just see them as a weaker version of their respective top seeds.

The Patriots* look rough as hell compared to previous years, but I didn't bet against Jon Jones* at UFC 232 and I won't be betting against the Patriots* in this post-season.

The Texans are a joke. That offensive line is a sieve and they *might* squeak past the Colts but no chance do they make it past the divisional round, let alone the conference championship.

Colts are looking at an unforgiving slog to the Superbowl, and frankly I just don't think Luck has it in him with his only consistent offensive weapon being the injury prone Hilton.

Cowboys. lol. I'm not gonna rule them out, but Prescott is a shmuck and I don't think his receivers can keep bailing him out for the entire post-season.

Eagles, Ravens, and Seahawks are all mediocre teams that I see making first round exits, although it's possible Dak will choke in round 1, giving the Seahawks a chance to lose in the second round instead.

Dak is a terrible QB and can never win anything.
Dak is expected to lead his team to a playoff win.

If the Cowboys beat the Seahawks, it won't be from "Dak leading his team to victory".

I agree with most everything you are saying. Chargers are a solid all around team whose offense has played like shit the last couple weeks. Guess we see which teams shows up.

I think the Eagles are getting it together and starting to play well but it might be to little to late.

It's nut cuttin time for dak. He's either a leader or we need to start looking for his replacement. He can lean on zeke for some playoff wins to make up for his lack of skill, but that's going to require him to make good audibles and protect the ball. He's shown he can do one of those things at a time.

Then neither can he "choke" if nothing is expected of him.

I never said 'nothing is expected of him'. He has consistently made bad throws during the back half of the season and been bailed out by his receivers making exceptional catches. He's still capable of making WORSE throws, which would be choking.

I haven’t watched a single Texans game this season and watching this one I am unsure how they made it to the playoffs.

Dunno why you're so butthurt that you felt the need to whinge about my comments when I was significantly more positive about the Cowboys than I was about several other teams I commented on.

Texans look lost out there

The Texans are a joke.

Colts O-line owning this game.

Also, I hope the Seahawks win because I hate Skip Bayless.

Everyone in Dallas hates him too, but I accept this as a legitimate reason to root against the Cowboys.

Also I don't hate the Cowboys, I just like ragging on Cowboys fans. The Cowboys are a reasonably solid team this year who earned their place in the playoffs, but Prescott is a weak link.
