Wild Card Weekend wraps up with what should be a wild one at AT&T Stadium Jerry's World when the Boys host the Lions later today. We're in for the wildest and most entertaining game of the weekend when Dem Boyz take the field against Matty and Mega. In fact, the only thing wilder and more entertaining than this game that you will watch today is this amazing Taiwanese anime preview of the matchup....
America's team seems like they've finally figured it out. They have a decent trio of triplets once again in Romo, Dez and Murray. Two thirds of the trio had eventful record setting seasons as the Dallas offense seems to finally have that long desired balance that they've been in search of. Dez broke TO's franchise single season TD record and got all up in Joe Randle's ass for bringing up the whole fighting with Mama Dez thing again. Murray rushed for a league leading yardage total that saw him break Emmitt's single season franchise rushing yardage record and now it appears he didn't bang the fake Mrs. Clay. The record setting duo teamed with a strong offensive line, anchored by Zack "Hmm I'll Pass on Johnny Football" Martin, have allowed Tony Romo to lead them in capturing the NFC East title.
On the other side of the football, Dallas has surprised as they've put a better than expected defensive unit on the field. Things were looking real sketchy when Sean Lee tore his ACL but Jerry made a trade with Baltimore for the "retired" Rolando McClain. The Boys convinced Rolando to come out of retirement to fill the void left by the Lee injury and he seems to be a perfect fit both on, and off, the field for this squad. Most of Rolando's impact has been in the box so the unit has been good against the run and not as good against the pass.
The Lions offense has a plethora of talent. Although he was nicked up most of the year, when Megatron is Megatron, he's Cornwallis. And when Cornwallis is Cornwallis, he's Alexander the Great. Megatron isn't the only receiver to watch in this Lions offense. Superbowl Champion Golden Tate has had Gretzy (99 Catches) year catching the football during his first season in Detroit. The backs are also impressive at catching the rock as Kim K's ex and Clay's boy Joique can create mismatches for opposing linebackers. Even with all these options, the Lions offense and Matt Stafford have somehow figured out a way to finish outside the top 20 in points per game for the 2014 season.
While the offense has underwhelmed, the Lion's defense has been bad ass. Anchored by numb footed Ndamukong Suh, they're amongst the leagues best against the run. Apparently Suh has a real strong Robin in outside linebacker DeAndre Levy. Forgive me for not knowing much about him as I haven't kept tabs on the Lions backers since Long Island's own Stephen Boyd called it career.
The playoffs haven't been kind to either of these franchises in their last few appearances. The last time either of them won a playoff game was before the NYMWS Tag Team Champions even met. Clay was just some young douchey kid probably wearing kid size cargos and kid size skater shoes and I was torn between dressing in kid size FuBu jerseys or Gap Kids polo and sweater vests. That all ends today though as one of the two has to be the winner here. While I can't tell you which one is the winner I can tell you that the winner doesn't win this thing by a touchdown. Tony and Matt will throw it to their guys, the other teams guys, and create all sorts of other wild plays that we haven't even seen before. This wild Wild Card Weekend finale comes down to a field goal and I'm hoping Matt Prater is the one kicking it. Give me the bad ass defense and underachieving talented offense with the seven.
Lions (+7) 26 - COWBOYS 23
