Dallas Cowboys vs. Anyone

Similarly to the Colts, there’s one other team that could make the Super Bowl and it not matter who they play: the Cowboys.

Sure, Dallas against Denver or New England would be awesome – but at the end of the day – people are going to watch a Super Bowl that involves the Cowboys.

Those great Dallas teams from back in the day don’t seem too far gone, but the fact is that the Cowboys haven’t been to a Super Bowl since 1996.

Nearly 20 years is a long, long time.

Dallas was tested last weekend, but they are still one of the most complete teams in the playoffs and should scare every opponent they face.
