I realize what your first instinct to this is.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAH!!!!!!! AHHH!H!!!! *cough* *choke*

But seriously, think about it for a second. Dallas went 1-3 in the last three weeks of the season, losing to the Eagles, barely beating Carolina, and losing to the Redskins. Tony Romo closed out the season leading his team to a total of 25 points in three games. Eli Manning closed out the season with the best game in his career against what might be the best NFL team ever in the New England Patriots.

The Giants are just starting to get hot, and it would appear that Dallas spent the end of the year cooling off. To add insult to injury (no pun intended) Romo's go-to guy, none other than Mr. TO himself, went down with a foot injury during the December 22nd and hasn't practiced since. Granted, the G-men lost Jeremy Shockey, but Eli Manning has relied heavily on Amani "it's not a" Toomer and Plaxico Burress. It's been said before that the team that wins the World Series in baseball isn't necessarily the best team in the league, but the team that gets hot when the playoffs get rolling. Could this be the 2007 New York Giants?

Another point worth noting is that this will be the third time the Giants and the Cowboys have met this season. Never in history has Dallas beat a team three times in the same season, and the last time they had the opportunity, it was against the lowly Arizona Cardinals.

Neither team is particularlly proven in big games, as I'm sure the "snap heard round the world" is still very fresh in the minds of most Cowboy fans. However, the Giants put up a much more convincing fight against the Patriots, than the Cowboys did in Week 6.

A Patriots/Giants Super Bowl? I think my father's head might explode.

Which Eli will show up? Will the four pick, five fumble guy who would rather be playing squash suit up on Sunday? Or will the dude who is looking more every single week like his brother. Likewise, which Tony Romo will show up?

I guess it depends on whether Jessica Simpson shows her face at the game.

RUIN ROMO, G-MEN!!!!!!!!
