Cowboys the underdog?

Nobody likes the Cowboys

The Cowboys always seem to be underdogs in all big games this year.  Games like the second time the Cowboys met the Giants.  The Giants had the momentum and they were considered the best team in the NFC.  Their defensive front was sure to apply pressure to Tony Romo, and be an unfavorable match-up for the Cowboys.  

Fast forward to the Green Bay game where again, the Cowboys were to be no Match for Brett Favre and his receivers.  The Cowboys suspect pass defense was a lock to get torched, and Al Harris shutting down T.O were why all the media (ESPN) favored the Packers to win.  We all know what happened this game.

Here we are in the divisional playoffs facing the Giants again, and nationwide we are picked to lose.  The number one seed and second best record in the NFL is picked unanimously to be beaten by New York.  Everywhere you watch or listen they talk of one home team being beat this weekend, and it is Dallas.  Your hear about Eli Manning's maturation, the Giants defense rolling on all cylinders, Tony Romo in Mexico, etc.

I know about the media's love fest in bashing the Cowboys, but seriously.  I also don't buy into the Giants thinking they are the underdogs when they are unanimously picked to win this game.  I hope the Cowboys go into this game knowing that nobody picks them to win, and hopefully that lights a fire. I can see, more so I'm hoping, Tony Romo has a career day, and the defense shuts down the run and Eli Manning.

If we are to win this game, which I will say we will, we will again be the underdog next week if we face Green Bay, and the same goes for the Super Bowl. I want the Cowboys to go into the playoffs and hopefully Super Bowl knowing that nobody, except their faithful, believes that they are for real.
