    Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys
    All Time Regular Season - Dallas leads series 55-43
    All Time Post Season - Dallas leads series 2-1

    Players to watch
    Philadelphia
    DeSean Jackson
    - In the two games against the Cowboys this season, DeSean Jackson had 5 receptions for 76 yards and had no impact in the return game. For the Eagles to win they will need their playmaker to come up with a few big plays.

    Dallas
    Tony Romo
    - The December collapse did not happen for Romo and the Cowboys. Now it's time to win a playoff game. To do so, they will need a big game from Tony Romo. The Eagles have given up 27 touchdown passes during the season. In the two games against the Eagles during the season Romo went 45 / 68 for 618 yards and 3 TDs.

    Notes:
    There are many great matchups to watch. Terrence Newman vs. DeSean Jackson. Asante Samuel vs. Miles Austin. Philly's O-Line vs. Dallas Pass Rush. Dallas' O-Line vs. Philly's pass rush.

    My Prediction:
    Dallas 34 Philadelphia 31

    Dallas could easily choke this game away. This is the hardest game for me to predict. I am going with Dallas 30-24.

    28-10 Cowboys. The Eagles haven't shown any signs of being able to beat them in either game this year.

    Two inconsistent teams. Each is capable of a great performance and each is capable of a lousy performance.

    Dallas playing better recently, but Eagles had a better overall regular season. Of course, Dallas did beat them twice, and the second one was an absolute whipping.

    I don't deny that the Cowboys were a little up and down, but how do you get that the Eagles had a better year? Not trying to be a dick, just curious as to why you think that.

    borderline late hit on McNabb on the 3rd down throw.

    Both coaching staffs under a lot of pressure.

    Not really sure how I can explain that. It's a subjective impression.

    DVOA has the Eagles slightly ahead.
