The regular season is now over, and the real fun starts now.

It is win or go home, and the Cowboys road to the Super Bowl starts this Sunday at AT&T Stadium against the Green Bay Packers.

Home Field

The Cowboys did what they needed to do on Sunday and beat the Commanders handily to capture the No. 2 overall seed and have the chance to play two home playoff games.

In the wild-card round, Dallas will host the youngest team in the playoffs.

The Packers are led by 25-year-old quarterback Jordan Love.

Let’s just be glad it’s not Aaron Rodgers anymore.

If Dallas handles business, they could welcome a couple of different teams.

Nonetheless, the importance of this is they get at least two games at home before they would have to go on the road to San Fran.

The Cowboys have won 16 straight games at home and average more points at AT&T Stadium than anyone does on their home turf.

The path to at least the NFC Championship game is the best it has been since the 90s.

In terms of the teams, they would have to play. Dak Prescott and Matt Stafford are the two oldest-tenure quarterbacks in the conference.

The only road game the Cowboys would play is if nobody beats the 49ers. If the Niners get upset in the divisional round, and the Cowboys win, Dallas would host the NFC title game.

No More Excuses

This is it for me, everyone.

This team has ZERO reason to not make the NFC title game.

You play the youngest team in the playoffs, whose starting quarterback has never played a playoff game.

Then you welcome either the Lions, who you already beat at home, or the lowest seed like the Tampa Buccaneers with Baker Mayfield.

Dallas would avoid the Rams and the 49ers, the only two teams that have a chance to beat them until the NFC championship game.

You have the best QB-WR combo in all of football right now.

Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb are playing out of their minds.

Brandin Cooks has become unstoppable in the red zone, and Tony Pollard ran the football hard yesterday.

Early reports say Stephon Gilmore should be good to go for the game on Sunday.

He hurt his shoulder about mid way through the game against the Commanders, but they were up enough to just hold him out in case.

In a year that the NFC is down, the Cowboys have backed their way into the perfect position.

The Eagles choked down the stretch and Dallas did not let their old ways step in front of them yesterday against the Commanders by choking that game away.

I won’t lie, after the blocked punt and tipped interception, it sure did look as if it was about to happen again.

Dallas can’t overlook a young hungry team like Green Bay.

Allow them to hurt themselves and continue to play the way you’ve been playing at home, and they will be fine.

If it is not this year, then it is never for Dallas.
