Running backs Marion Barber and Felix Jones each ran for 91 yards, and wideouts Patrick Crayton and Miles Austin each topped 90 yards receiving. It was a dominating performance for Dallas, which had 21 first downs to 10 for the Eagles. Donovan McNabb failed to top 230 yards passing in either game against Dallas. In the first meeting, he was sacked four times and threw two interceptions.

Much like the Bengals/Jets game I see all 3 re-match games this weekend having the same victor but with closer results.

Cowboys 34 Eagles 23

I will take the eagles. Until Romo and the "Boys" show they can handle the playoffs, 28-21 Philly.

You're just going around contradicting all of my predictions :foottap:

I'll take the boys against my better judgement, looks like the ship has been righted.

Winning three times against one team is difficult. Sooner or later Romo is gonna win big games (by skill or fluke)! I take Dallas 28-24

 

[RAMMSTEIN]

Beating a team 3 times in one year is tough! So that is why I am taking the Eagles in this one.

I never understood that arguement. It's playoffs both teams are coming up gunning and really do you think any player on the field is thinking oh well we beat them or lost to them twice this season?

As a big Cowboys fan they need this win. It'll get all the crtics off our backs. I'm so sick of hearing about Romo's inability to win in big games. Romo has been great this year, he is the reason why we managed to come away with the NFC east. I'm sick of seeing that Tony Romo fumble on the kick against the Seahawks in the playoffs. I'm sick of hearing how bad a coach Wade Phillips is. I'm also sick of that TO speech "But that's my quarterback". Win this game Cowboys for all the fans out there who desperately need it.

Sorry my mini rant. But I'm super excited for the game!

Since 1970, 19 teams have beaten a team twice in the regular season and then met again in the playoffs...

... the team winning twice is 12-7 in those games.

I think the eagles take this one.
