44-6: Time For Redemption?

One year later, these same teams are again fighting not for a playoff spot. They both are already are in the playoffs, they are fighting now for the NFC East Division Champion. To the victor goes the spoils! At stake is playoff seeding.
As it stands now, Philadelphia has a shot at the #2 seed for a first round bye due to the Minnesota Vikings loss to the Chicago Bears. If they defeat the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon, they will claim it.
However, which no one seems want to talk about, the Cowboys has an opportunity for it as well. They will need some help from New York Giants beating the Vikings next Sunday and the Green Bay Packers to beat the Arizona Cardinals. These are very credible possibilities. The Giants will want to play for some pride and I believe they are better than the Vikings anyway. The Packers really have nothing to play for, but I think they will play out. This is my wishful thinking, stranger things has happened. So, this week, I am a Cowboys fan first and foremost, but I will be cheering on the Giants and Packers!
Everyone is already crowning the Philadelphia Eagles as the NFC East champs, so go ahead, crown them. They are the media champs on paper, internet, radio, and TV. No need to play the game, right? Cowboys have proved already they are capable of beating the Eagles already this season. LINK
If you go with simulations of games, ESPN Accuscore is actually projecting the Cowboys as favorites, 64% to 35%. LINK
I believe in the Cowboys this Sunday!! They can win at home this Sunday and a week after if necessary against the Eagles. Tony Romo is having his best season so far. He has played better this December and can not be blamed for the two losses in December. Miles Austin and Jason Witten are picking up their game. This defense is playing at a championship caliber level. The short yardage running game needs some work, but overall the running game is on par.
With the possibility of playing the Eagles two weeks in a row, do the Cowboys go all out, or would they mix things up and show something different in each game?
The Cowboys need to come out fighting hard early, and be ready to take it to the Eagles. It is time to turn the tables. They now have an opportunity when no one gave them a chance at all this season, and still not giving them a chance. Avenge that loss, Cowboys!!
And if you go to the game, can the fans please get loud and boisterous. Provide a true home field advantage, cheer loud when the Eagles are on offense, and quiet it down when the Cowboys have the ball.
