The 2018 Seattle Seahawks surprised a lot of people this year as they were picked by many to finish the season well out of playoff contention. But, add Russell Wilson to any team and they automatically become a title contender.

Dallas had a resurgence of sorts in the 2018 NFL season, once again winning the NFC East and returning the faith in Jerry Jones that he hasn’t completely gone the way of Al Davis just yet. This should be a fun game to watch for all.
Seattle Seahawks
The last 180 plus minutes of football have been very stressful for these Seattle Seahawks. Losing a nail biter to San Francisco three weeks ago, then holding off a late surge by the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago and then winning on a last second field goal last week at home against Arizona.
This has been a season of the Seahawks either elevating their game to the success of their opponent, or downplaying their talent to a lesser foe. Take the last three games as a prime example for that last statement. This is a very winnable game for Seattle, if they can just go out and execute their game plans and not worry about who they are playing.

Of course, this is also a payback game for Seattle. Back in September, these same Dallas Cowboys came into Seattle and walked away winners in a 24-13 game. There’s not a single member of this team who has forgotten that fact, and will do anything to send Dallas packing from the first round of the playoffs in front of their own fans.
Seattle has relied heavily on the ground attack this year, and I expect them to continue that trend here on Saturday. But, don’t count out some late game magic between Wilson and Doug Baldwin either, add Tyler Lockett to the mix and you have a three headed monster that any team in the country would be envious of.
Dallas Cowboys
Dallas comes into this game winners of four out of their last five games, including two wins against current NFC playoff squads. But they, like Seattle, have had a rather rough time securing victories at the end of the year.
With the exception of the game against the Colts back on December 16th, which they lost 23-0, they haven’t had a win by a margin larger than seven points over the above mentioned five game span. You have to go back all the way to October 14th to find a game in which Dallas completely put their opponent away, a 40-7 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

But besides their putting the nail in the coffin misgivings, Dallas is 7-1 at home this year. They play well in the house that Jerry built. There is no question about that, but the playoffs bring something else to the table, and this game will not be a gimme for the Cowboys in any way, shape or form.
Finding a way to win this game will be tough for Dallas, even at home. This Seahawks team is a whole lot better than the team they beat at the beginning of the year, and they will find that out right at the onset of this game. The spread opened at only -2.5 for a reason.
NFL Betting Trends:
- Seahawks are 7-1 SO in their last 8 games overall
- Seahawks are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs NFC opponents
- Seahawks are 6-2 in their last 8 playoff games
- Cowboys are 10-3 SU in their last 13 January games
- Cowboys are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall
- Cowboys are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 playoff games
4* Free NFL Betting Prediction: Seattle +2.5
Dallas may have the point spread tilted in their favor in this game, but they don’t have the playoff experience that the Seahawks coaching staff does, and literally, when you add the magic of Russell Wilson to the mix, anything is possible, especially in the playoffs.
NFL Free Wild Card Score Prediction: Seattle 24 – Dallas 21
This one will be a close one, and looking at the past few games by either team, it will most likely come down to a late game field goal for the win. Take Seattle to win this game and for the total to be OVER the number.
