Seahawks and Cowboys Face Off in NFL Wildcard Round

Well Rested Seahawks and Cowboys are Ready

The Dallas Cowboys welcome the Seattle Seahawks to AT&T Stadium for the NFC Wild Card opener this coming weekend. Both teams have 10-6 records, both teams clinched playoff positions in Week 16, and both played meaningless Week 17 games. Russell Wilson and the ‘Hawks’ 18^th-ranked offense will look to get back on track against what has been a stingy Cowboys defense of late

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Cowboys -2.5 O/U: 43.5.

Seattle (9-5-2 ATS) is coming off of a 38-31 playoff warm-up on Sunday. RB Chris Carson rack up 122 rushing yards and one TD on the day. Sunday marked Carson’s fifth time eclipsing the 100-yard mark this season. He has cemented himself as the cornerstone in Seattle’s offense. The Seahawks will need him to continue producing at a high level against Dallas. Wilson, and Seattle's, passing attack suffered through the regular season. They ranked 27^th in the league in passing yards per game at 198.9. Seattle recorded a league-best plus-15 turnover differential this season.

On paper, that equation plays right into the Cowboys (9-7 ATS) strength. They’ve been dominant against the run all season. The defense give up an average of 91.3 rushing yards per game. LB Leighton Vander Esch leads all defensive players on the Cowboys with 131 tackles. He will be key to the Cowboys’ success against Carson. The NFL’s rushing champ, Ezekiel Elliott, will take center stage. He will go against a middle-of-the-pack Seahawks’ run D. Look for this one to be won on the ground.

PREDICTION: Cowboys 24, Seahawks 13
