As much as I think the word "momentum'' is just a myth regarding sports (which involve so many factors that can stop or propel this so called ''momentum''), I think Dallas is the hottest team in the NFL right now. Yea, even more so than the Chargers.
I totally agree that "momentum" is way overrated ...
This is the part I have a difficult time understanding really ...
I mean ... when you look at it ... the teams that all the Play Off teams have played against other play off teams ... - Which team actually has the "better" record and if so ... it is actually only marginal ...
Truth of the matter is ... when you look at each respective schedule ... Neither of any of the NFC teams (prior to the Wild Card round) have met any "superior" teams ... - This seasons NFC has just been too wide "open" really ...
Eagles 0-4 against Play Off teams (lost home and away)
Packers 3-3 against PO teams (lost 2 home and 1 away)
Cardinals 1-2 against PO teams (lost home and away)
Cowboys 3-2 against PO teams (lost away and at home)
Vikings 4-1 against PO teams (lost away)
Saints 3-1 against PO teams (lost at home)
