Eagles aren't a top 5 betting favourite in the preseason nearly every year and have significantly better success lately.

The Cowboys are a trap every year so bookies take the free money.

The Eagles are yearly an overrated team that finds a way to lose. I dislike the Philly organization so, i am not going to complain.

Dallas is perennially EXPECTED to collapse and suck every year, no matter where they are ranked or expected. I should have known better in the pick em. I had Houston and still selected Cleveland as the "safe pick." I naturally selected Dallas because I forgot it was the playoffs.

That's exactly my point, yet oddmakers always have them with good super bowl odds to trap people who aren't paying attention.

May as well burn money. lol

Disappointment? This means there is prolonged Cowboys failing pain.... that's great. So many Australians who really know nothing about the NFL are Cowboys "fans" so today is brilliant.

Cowboys are "Americas team" but haven't truly been good since the early 90s. They had some solid seasons with Tony Romo, but always had shit defenses that constantly forced Romo to play hero ball and thus ended up with him both throwing a lot of game ending interceptions but also a lot of comeback wins.

Yep, they can probably add "Australia's Team" to that list. It's all them or Patriots amongst the novices (anecdotally)

Teams with the most rushing yards are 4-0 in the playoffs this year so far.

TBF, only KC had an significant amount more rushing yards than the Dolphins whereas the others had around 20 yard difference, but still...

fucking run the ball

Throwing the ball is a great way to score against those guys unless it doesn't work.

it isn't even the 32 years since lions last won a playoff game and the record playoff losing streak for them, the last few years in Detroit sports has been godawful too, it took the lions of all teams to bring even this relatively minor (but also relatively major) relief, they can get blown out by the eagles/buccaneers next week for all I care (okay I will care if they get blown out next week), finally happy something good happened for one of these teams

poor Tony Romo never gets any recognition

I saw a post shitting on Dak and Romo by comparing their number of playoff wins together to Nick Foles with the Eagles. Like, why is Romo getting grouped up with Dak? Romo had awful defenses and no run game for most of his tenture with Dallas. Seems unfair to place the blame solely on Romo. Also, Jason Garrett was not a great coach....
