NFL Playoffs 2017: Predictions for Seeds & Matchups Week 16

Patriots & Cowboys Win Top Seeds


Projected Records: Patriots (14-2), Cowboys (14-2)


Matchup: Dallas has already secured the number one seed in the NFC and will have home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Heavy likes the Patriots to do the same by winning their final two games. Both teams will enter the playoffs as favorites to square off in the Super Bowl. Things rarely go exactly as scripted in the playoffs, but it would be a dream matchup for the NFL as the teams are two of the more historic NFL franchises. The two teams last squared off in 2015 as the Patriots dominated the Cowboys 30-6. This is a much different Cowboys team and fans will be watching to see how the rookie duo will handle the bright lights of the playoffs. Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott have passed every test so far, but the playoffs will be their biggest test yet. (Getty)
