agreed. i think with dallas, its largely a playcalling issue when they play the giants. that might be the defense dictating what dallas does, but a few tweaks can turn that around. just gotta open the playbook up a bit and hope dak has a decent game.

I have tickets to Dallas-Detroit Monday Night...

Hoping for a Giants win only because it will insure Dallas go full speed ahead with Dak/Zeke instead of a wishy washy game where they might be tempted to rest people. They can save that for Week 17 and first round bye.

Think about what happens if they win just one more game and wrap home field up. Much needed week of rest. Dak and Zeke have played 4 pre-season games and 16 regular season. The most Dak has played has been 13 and Zeke 15. The have 2 possible home games before the Super Bowl that's being played in.....Texas. If they make it to the Super Bowl it will basically be a home game for them.

So you believe where a Super Bowl is played dictates who attends?

It's obviously not going to turn it into a 80/20 split or anything, but I would think a superbowl in Texas would give Dallas a crowd advantage. Maybe the Saints superbowl in Miami was different because the saints were in it, but I knew lots of people that were not just loaded that bought scalped tickets, and I would think a lot more of them would have bought scalped tickets if the superbowl was in New Orleans as they wouldn't have had to worry as much about transportation costs and maybe not even hotel costs. Plus I think their story is good enough and Dak and Zeke likable enough that Dallas would get a much bigger split of the crowd that's not actually fans of either team (which I would guess is maybe 50% of the crowd?).

ETA: And if it's like the Saints, the suite owners will get dibs on the suite tickets, so I'm sure the Suites will title heavily Dallas with a lot of texas owners.

Again, not an 80-20 split or anything, but I would guess a noticeable advantage in the crowd.
