Dallas is on a four-game winning streak, including two shutouts, and a decisive victory over New Orleans in the Superdome. Tony Romo and the offense have been rather hot, meanwhile defensive end DeMarcus Ware has been a force to reckon with on offense. Can the Cowboys continue their win streak, bet the underdog NFC playoff game at Bodog.com.

The Vikings have plenty of time to rest, and spent most of their time analyzing the way Dallas plays. Since they did not meet up this season, much time is spent studying film. The Vikings came off a decisive win over the Giants at home, 44-7, Brett Favre surpassed 4000 yards, finishing with his best QB stats. The Vikings are 8-0 at home this season, and 3-0 against playoff opponents. They beat Baltimore, and Green Bay twice.

Prediction as hot as the Cowboys are, it’s tough to pick against them, however, Tony Romo’s inconsistent play along with the deafening noise of the dome, gives the Vikings the edge in this game.
