1. Cowboys vs. Rams

After seeing how the Divisional Round played out last January, one can only imagine the intensity that will be on display Sunday when the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams face off against one another, especially with playoff implications on the line.

The Cowboys may feel like they have a major advantage playing this one at home, but new life by the Rams over the last two weeks makes it seem like Sean McVay’s squad can defeat any team at the moment.

A few weeks ago, the defending NFC champions were written off by many after they were embarrassed at home against the Baltimore Ravens, but the Rams most recent win over the Seattle Seahawks shows they may have some juice left in them after all.

While the Cowboys will most likely heavily rely on Ezekiel Elliott, the Rams would be wise to do the same with Todd Gurley since their offense shine the most when he receives plenty of carries.

For two teams that were expected to be top contenders in the NFC back in September, it only seems fair to watch the Cowboys and Rams be in this current position entering Week 15 since neither team can afford another loss.

If all goes well, this game could very well come down to one of the final plays in the fourth quarter, and it wouldn’t be a surprise at all.
