Dallas as the Cowboys are 32-23 all-time in playoff games while the Eagles are 17-19. While

Dallas hasn’t won a playoff game since 1996, the Cowboys are 2-1 against the Eagles in playoff games, having won the last two meetings.

Injuries:

The biggest injury for the Eagles is with receiver DeSean Jackson, who has a groin injury that has given him problems.

Jackson also suffered a recent concussion, but is expected to play on Saturday. Michael Vick has also been dealing with a quad injury, but should be available if needed for the Eagles. The Cowboys don’t have many injuries to worry about but DeMarcus Ware has been battling through a neck injury. Ware will play Saturday, but suffered a sprained neck just a month ago and many thought he was lost for the season, only to play the following week.

Public Betting:

The public betting is narrowly on the side of the Cowboys, as 54 percent of bets are going with

Dallas -4 in its home stadium.

Weather:

Due to Cowboys Stadium being an indoor stadium with a retractable roof, weather won’t really be an issue. Due to the cold front hitting the South, game time temperature will be around 27 degrees, so it is unlikely that Jerry Jones will keep the roof open and let his fans sit in the cold weather. The cold weather would favor

Philadelphia also, as they are accustomed to playing in cold weather.
