Cowboys don't want to see red-hot Packers in the playoffs

Before the season, I picked the Packers to beat the Steelers in Super Bowl LI. When both teams were in the midst of four-game losing streaks during the season, I didn't feel good about that prediction.

Now I'm back on board with Green Bay and Pittsburgh, the biggest threats to knock out the top seeds in the NFL playoffs, Dallas and New England.

The similarities between the Packers and Steelers are fascinating, starting with their Super Bowl-pedigree head coaches in Mike McCarthy and Mike Tomlin, plus Pro Bowl quarterbacks in Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger. Both teams also feature dominant offenses and inconsistent defenses.
