Playoffs: Eagles at Cowboys Prediction

The Cowboys were impressive in their shutout of the Eagles last week, earning them the chance to host them a second week in a row in Dallas.

This week, the weather in Texas, as with the rest of the country, has turned cold, which may affect the Cowboys. Expect Philly to play with increased intensity following last week's shutout. These two factors will make this game closer than the previous meetings between the two.

Romo, Witten, and Austin are important to the Cowboys success, but Barber and Jones in their running game will be even more important, which must be established early. Most important to success though is the Cowboys defense. They must stop Phill's run hame and make them win in the air.

Speaking of the Eagles air game, look for Desean Jackson to be hot, but the key to an Eagles victory is Donovan McNabb. He made too many mistakes last week. Look to him to change up his game a bit, or return to normal. Because of this, he'll play more conservatively than usual, which will work against him in the end; the Cowboys will appoly pressure late, and he'll throw an interception near the end of the game, allowing the Cowboys to run out the clock late.

Final: Eagles 23, Cowboys 24

Playoffs: Jets at Bengals Prediction

This is one of three rematches this wild card weekend. last week the Jets embarrassed the Bengals. But they were at home.

The difference in this one is Cedric Benson. He didn't play last week, leaving hte Belgals without their running game, which they've come to rely on. Palmer and Ochocinco aren't enough by themselves. If Benson has a good game, the Bengals will win.

On the other side of the sideline, Sanchez will have to play well if the Jets are going to stay in it. The Jets will run well, yes, but unless Sanchez throws a few TDs and the defense keeps Benson under 100 yards, they will not pull it out.

Homefield advantage will also make a difference here. The fans have got to keep their Bengals in it, as they may need a late come-from-behind drive to pull it out.


Final: Jets 17, Bengals 20
