I think Dallas is jumping for joy they don't have to play Giants considering that was the series they couldn't beat this season
Nah, any competitor would be willing to play any team, regardless. And with all due respect to the G-Men, it's not like the Giants dominated the Cowboys. Both games could have gone either way.
As a Dallas fan, I would rather face the Giants than Green Bay.
-First, it's
hard to beat the same team three times in the same season. I tried to find an official stat for this, but could only find some dude's answer on the internet (and we know how reliable the internet can be). According to some internet dude, since "1950, it's only happened 17 times."

-Secondly, Aaron Rodgers has been on a tear and a hot QB can make all the difference in a playoff run.
