Dez almost certainly if he's a beast on Sunday and further into the playoffs (assuming they make it past Sunday). Demarco not so much. RBs just aren't paid like they used to be. If Stephen can keep the wallet away from Jerry then I expect them to be fairly smart about getting any contracts done in the offseason.

He'll get stupid money from someone if he goes beast mode. Just fucking hope it aint us.

I have to agree, losing the SB would be bad enough but losing to the Steelers and that giving them their 7th while we only have 5, it would just make the loss worse. I really want this match up to happen, I think with the way the two play it would be an amazing SB.
Yeah, we can't let them get 7. Sometimes the only trash talk I have to fall back on is that the cowboys have more super bowl MVPs (7) than any other team.

I really like the cowboys chances vs lions. We have shown we can contain suh in the past, even when our offensive line was pretty shit.
Not nearly as worried about suh as I am about megatron. He seems to break his foot off in our ass everytime we play him. I haven't been paying attention this year, has he broken a leg yet?

Some of you with all home teams winning might want to re-think your picks. 22 of the last 25 wild card rounds has had at least one away team winner.

It's hard to do that this year though. Arizona would've been a good choice at one point, especially going against a losing record team, but without a QB their chances seem slim. Baltimore and Detroit could be decent choices, but it's kind of a tossup of either winning. Safe pick is just going with the home teams.

The only game with a real chance of the home team being upset is the Stealers/Ravens game, because literally anything can happen in that fucking division. This is also going to be the dirtiest game of the playoffs not involving Detroit.

Bell's been ruled out so Ravens winning in Pittsburgh in a rain storm doesn't sound improbable.

Bengals receiving threats this weekend might include Mo Sanu, Greg Little, Cobi Hamilton (promoted from practice squad this week), and Brandon Tate. I know the Colts are scared.

Since I am a bit late to the party (and not really good at these), this weekend I will go with all the home teams - which I know will not work out...

From the few games I have seen of the teams involved: Pittsburgh without Bell appears to make them one dimensional; Cincinnati appears to be playing better after that one Monday night curb stomping; Indianapolis's Luck appears to be a bit off these last few games and doing too much Catlering; Detroit admitted to everyone involved that without Donkey Kong stomping ankles and girders, they do not stand a chance; and Dallas's Romo is back in the playoffs and his history in these games.

I do not remember watching any Arizona, Baltimore, or Carolina games so in the dark about their perks or weaknesses.

Since Chicago is being a by-stander once again, I am neutral in the playoffs (and not one of those two, three, four team fans).

Good luck to those wanting their team to advance.
