I dont know why but I have this feeling that the Cowboys will have a huge upset this week and beat the Seahawks at home but becuase I already picked quite a few upsets already (CLE over PIT, BUF over NE and MIA over GB) I will hold off on picking the cowboys to stay positive.

I always get nervous with the NYG-PHI games. The Giants always screw up when they play the Eagles and make some crucial mistake to give PHI the win. It escpecially sucks for me becuase I live all around Eagle fans and I NEVER hear the end of it when they beat the Giants! I have a feeling the game will come down to the last 2 min of the 4th quarter and either Foles or Eli chokes and loses the game for there team. This is defiantly a winnable game for my Giants they just got to play like they have been for the past 3 weeks with no silly mistakes.

I feel like Dallas could beat Seattle but ultimately I'll pick the Seahawks for the prediction league purposes.

If nothing else it will be a good yardstick game. Dallas previous opponents haven't been that great. Same deal with Phi vs. NYG, they both have beat bad teams for the most part. The season will start to get a ton more clear for everyone over the next 2-3 games each.

You aren't the first one to say that, but what is that based on? Dallas beating NFL powerhouses like the Titans, Rams, Saints (went into overtime against the Bucs at home) and Texans? Get the hell out of here.

I'm a Dallas fan I don't need a logical reason why I believe that

Dallas has the #1 rusher in the NFL, and it's not because he's insanely talented. It's because Dallas has spent the last couple of years building a really solid offensive line. And Seattle of course is #1 against the rush. So that will be a killer matchup. Offensively, I'd call them roughly even, but talented in different areas.

I still think Seattle is the better team, but it should be a fascinating matchup. But because Seattle's defense is undeniably superior to the Dallas defense, it is unlikely to be a Dallas victory. But I do hope to see them make a statement (eg; not getting blown out, and putting up some decent plays).
