It would benefit the number one seed in the NFC, the Dallas Cowboys, if the wild card round of the playoffs was to play out like this.

The 13-3 Dallas Cowboys have earned the right to a first round bye and home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

The Cowboys simply need to win two home games in the NFC divisional round and NFC conference championship to make it to the Super Bowl.

So who are the potential teams that the Cowboys may face in the 2016/2017 NFL playoffs?

The Detroit Lions (6th seed), Green Bay Packers (4th seed), and New York Giants (5th seed) are the three teams that could be coming to AT&T Stadium on January 15th for the divisional playoff game. The lowest seed remaining in the playoffs is who Dallas will host.

The Falcons, Seahawks, Packers, or Giants are the four possible teams that the Cowboys could face in the conference championship game.

The six potential opponents in the Super Bowl are the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans, Oakland Raiders, and Miami Dolphins.

If you were to ask head coach Jason Garrett or anyone affiliated with the Dallas Cowboys, they would tell you that it doesn’t matter who the opponents are.

The Cowboys are focused on the current task at hand, which is preparing for the upcoming game and having the best day as an individual and team that they possibly can.
