The Seattle Seahawks started 2018 in 0-2 and then won 4-1. They closed the regular season campaign with a surprise 6-1. Russell Wilson and The Seattle Seahawks played inconsistent football until they reached their stride in Week 11, got four consecutive wins against Green Bay, Carolina, San Francisco and Minnesota, and averaged 30 points in that span. A Week 16 victory against Kansas City, 38-31, makes the Seahawks feel good about their potential in the post-Boom Legion era. Chris Carson has finally filled the void left by Marshawn Lynch as the main carrier of the ball. Doug Baldwin, if he can stay healthy, is as reliable as ever in the passing game.

Dallas has played pretty well at AT & T Stadium and has one of the best defenses in the NFL. These two teams met in Week 3, where the Seahawks won 24-13. Las Vegas expects a game of few points. The Cowboys went 7-1 in their previous eight games and took the defending Super Bowl champion, the Philadelphia Eagles, to win their second NFC East title in three years. In this season's closing leg, quarterback Dak Prescott completed 71 percent of his passes for 12 touchdowns and three interceptions. Wide receiver Amari Cooper, acquired in the Oakland middle season for a first-round pick, has proven his worth with 54 receptions and six touchdowns.

The Seahawks play against the Cowboys in the first round of the 2018 playoffs. For me one of the most closed games of the Wildcard weekend. The Dallas Cowboys are very similar to the Seahawks. They run the ball well and have a sturdy defense. The difference between the two, however, is the situation of the field marshal. Who would you prefer to have in a playoff game: Dak Prescott or Russell Wilson? I'm leaving The Seahawks and your friend who's going?
