The matchup is set both teams will head in the game at 10-1. Should be a great game! Looking forward to it...Probably will be the 2nd most hyped up game this season with the success of each team thus far this season.

Should be a great game. Too bad most of the country can't watch it.

All I know about this is that my team will have to go through one of these teams in order to make the NFC championship.

Both times we've tried recently have been incredibly close, but the Hawks aren't as good as they were either of those times.

Right now I want the Packers to be that opponent, as they don't have the secondary anymore.

The Packers will be a little banged up coming into the game. Charles Woodson, KGB, and Collin Cole all suffered injuries in the Thanksgiving day victory of the Lions. In addition Mark Tauscher, Bubba Franks, and Nick Collins are all battling injuries.

On paper the Cowboys look like the favorites for this game if the Packers don't get healthy.

KGB, Mark Tauscher and Woodson are important. Colin Cole is just one of many DTs in our rotation, and Bubba who? Also, Aaron Rouse has played downright outstanding in place of Nick Collins. But if we don't get any one of the three (KGB, MT, or CW) healthy enough, especially CW, we could be in trouble.

How the hell does a game this epic (Ice Bowl, 10-1 all, Favre vs. Romo), in primetime no less, get relegated to the forty viewers with NFL Network?

I'm a Jets fan on temporary loan to the Cowboys and I rarely miss an opportunity to watch Brett Favre. This is a game that would provide much comfort to my grieving green and white heart.

But instead its been the frickin' Tom Brady show every Sunday Night. Do you have any idea how sick I am of that guy's gigantic helmet?

You know what's most amazing about that, is that a week or so ago the Packers were playing the Vikings and they cut away from the game and went to a closer game. Meanwhile most fans across the country have had to watch New England clean up teams for all 4 quarters all year long.

So the big day is here! It's time to watch Romo light up the Packers while Brett Favre gets sacked eight times. My prediction - 70-0 Cowboys.

Or, in the land of reality, I see both teams scoring a lot of points. They both have pretty good defenses, but I don't believe either one can stop the other for any appreciably long time. So I see the game's result hinging on which defense can force fieldgoal attempts instead of giving up touchdowns. This appears to be a game of who can outscore the other team rather than really stopping the other team.

I'm a Packers fan, but this is by far going to be the biggest challenge of the season for them. I am predicting a game with he score of like 24-21 or something like that, but I don't even have an opinion on who will win! Anything can happen especially with two 10-1, so who knows? The only scenario I don't see happening is the Packers blowing out the Cowboys, but all other scenarios are possible for me.

24-21? I'd be shocked if both of these teams don't end up with more than 30. I can easily see 38-35 or even someone getting into the 40s.

I think both teams are capable on defense... and I don't think we're going to see 65+ total points scored... one team MAY score in the 30's, I don't think we will see both teams do that

The early Field Goals had me thinking that this was going to be a defensive game.

Was I wrong or what?
