Sure they stopped a ridiculously one dimensional Philly team two weeks in a row but what does that mean? Minny will move the ball just fine. I'll take em' at home as less than a FG favorite All Day.

Please. Vikes haven't been the same since they lost Henderson. Winfield isn't anywhere near healthy. Austin will have a field day against him. Harvin hasn't done anything since he got knocked out. Newman and Jenkins can shut him and Rice straight up. AP is the only concern. But he'll probably just fumble again when the game is on the line. McKinnie has been awful lately. Good luck trying to block Ware and Spencer. Crowd will hardly be a factor as I stated, there'll be plenty of Cowboys fans to offset it.

Road underdogs have been getting the money consistently in Division Round games since 2003, covering 16 of 24 chances. Over the past three seasons, that success has been even more pronounced, with road dogs 10-2 vs. the number. And twice since 2003, the visiting underdog teams have covered all four Division Round games. Since 1990, when the playoffs expanded from 10 teams to 12, all Division Round hosts have been off a “bye” and a week of rest. And almost all of the “powerhouse” NFL teams in recent memory are from that first-round “bye” group, including 49 of the last 62 Super Bowl participants since ’78 (when the first-round “bye” was introduced). But the change theme reflected in the recent
success of Division Round road dogs has made some wonder if that first-round bye” is really worth it. In each of the past four seasons, a top seed in either the NFC (the Giants, losing 23-11 at home to the Eagles a year ago, and Dallas, defeated by the visiting Giants 21-17 two years ago) or AFC (San Diego bowing to New England, 24-21, in 2006 and Indianapolis falling to Pittsburgh, 21-18, in 2005) have bitten the dust after a “bye” week. Three of the past four Super Bowl
winners (2005 Pittsburgh, 2006 Indy, and the 2007 Giants) each participated from the outset in the playoffs, beginning their postseason adventures in the wildcard round.

You can break it down any way you want. My point is simply that the Dallas Defense is no where near as good as everyone is hyping them to be. They are an above average defense as I pointed out (9th overall). 20th against the pass And as far as the argument that AP will probably just fumble again.. Um..... How many things could be said about what Romo may do when the pressure's on We all know how that story ends. Just have to agree to disagree I guess. GL marny

terrible agrument.

There were 6k the last time I checked. (Looks like the Cowboy fans bought a lot) 4700 now. Other games have 4k or less. SD only has 3600. So don't know where you're getting "like the rest of the games" And the Cowboy fans will follow more so than any of the other road teams left. Not to mention no team has more bandwagon fans than they do.

Remember how many Eagles fans were there last season?

So quit with the road team BS.

Where's you opinion on the game? All I've read are smart ass replies on anyone who knocks your beloved Vikes.

It's alright. The truth hurts

So you're saying there was 6K now there is 4700 because cowboys fans probably bought them?  i could say the same thing about why there are less available at other stadiums, because the other team already bought them.  So, like I said it's a stupid argument and completely misleading.

You say there is going to be 20,000 cowboys fans there, that's bullshit too.

There were a lot of Eagles fans there last year, not near 20K, either way, its a stupid argument, this MN team isn't last years, no oe had confidence in Jackson, so again,bullshit argument.  

Winfield isn't 100% but he's getting closer and if he's not he won't be matched up vs Austin so that won't be the case another bullshit argument.

Harvin and Rice are tough matchups, I wouldn't just throw it out there that they will get shut down, it's possible but it's certainly no guarantee.  

You say the crowd will hardly be a factor, you just have nothing base that on, it's bullshit again.

This game could go either way and Cowboys backers have plenty of reasons to back them, but the reasons you state are garbage and need to be called out.

My take like i've said before, I'm buying into the home field, I think it's a huge advantage and there are plenty of stats to back that up.

MN establishes the run early and Dallas can't just tee off all day like did against the eagles, they'll have to stay honest and pick their poison.  

MN has had some ups and downs this season, just like everyone predicted but fortunately they weathered the storm and I believe they are better because of it.  Say what you want about beating the Giants and it not meaning anything, it meant something to MN, i don't care who they beat, they got the swagger back and got rested.

I'll take Favre at home over Romo on the road any day.

I think MN - 2.5 is the bet, take it or leave it, but don't throw out bullshit stats and expect everyone to agree with you.

Good luck man.

Ok Ok i hate Dallas , but i really think they match up good against minny... i really believe they can exploit the minny secondary we all know minny has a great run D but there pass D is suspect.. The dallas D is playing very good right now and i believe Dallas is peaking at the right time, remember the best teams dont always win. Alot of the time the teams that are peaking at the right time win in the playoffs , and from the past few weeks of the season until now Dallas has been if not the hottest one of the hottest teams , where as Minny has been on the downfall..I really think Minny has played there best ball already this season ... i have a feeling that Minny goes away from the run in this game and try to rely on Favre...and i think that will be this teams downfall... They need to Ride AP, not Favre...

OL minny has multiple pro bowlers? LOL! Are you listening to the radio instead of watching tv like the rest of us?
That O-Line can't run block or pass block! LOL! Wide outs goes too minny? LOL! Austin and Crayton are playing like seasoned vets right now! Running back goes too minny by farrrrr?  LOL! Again Peterson is the only one they have and repeat no O-Line! Dallas has 3 dependable backs! The williams boys in the middle would eat ratlifff and jared allen shits on either spencer or ware! LOL! Your so called weapon Jared Allen has 2 sacks total in 3 games!=That's the funniest thing i have read on here! Ware and Spencer and Ratliff are going to crush that weak O-Line! Better line backers and a better secondary ? LOL! That vikings team has given up 1434 total yards in 3 games! Wade Phillips or Brad Childress is a tie! The only thing that vikings have better for sure than Dallas is a kicker!

THis post is DEAD on. AP can beat boys not Favre, Cowboys have always been in his head(0-3 postseason, 3-9 altogether. AP scares me bigtime if you're backing Dallas.
  
THis GAME will be for a trip to the SUPER BOWL and it will be a DOGFIGHT.

well, the game just might come down to a (missed?) field goal.  I wanna play the under but minny's pass D aint that great (as good a football player Winfield is he's a liability) and Rice and Harvin can take it to the house every time the touch it.

You are either high on cheap drugs, or you are clearly deluded by the love of your team to put out a BS checklist like that. If you can show me a DL playing better than Dallas' in the last 4 weeks, then you've got amazing detective talents. Minn LB core better than Dallas's with their loss of Henderson???...Keep on puffing buddy!

And Dallas' secondary is one of the biggest reasons why their DL has been able to be so dominant, eliminating big plays and locking people up. I suggest you rewind the tape a few weeks back of Jay Cutler and the bears lighting up that Minn secondary. Antoine winfield is a great run stuffing DB, but he couldn't cover a mattress.

I'm not sure how the game will turn out, but Romo has fumbled 3 times already
