Cowboys will need to top hot Green Bay Packers to get to NFC Championship game for first time since 1995 season

It's official: the top-seeded Cowboys will play one of the NFL's hottest teams when they open the playoffs at 3:40 p.m. next Sunday at AT&T Stadium.

The Green Bay Packers are headed here for an NFC divisional round game after defeating the New York Giants, 38-13, Sunday evening at frigid Lambeau Field.

If the Giants had won, Dallas would've hosted New York, the team that beat them twice this season.

But in the Packers, the Cowboys are matched against a team that has had most all its prayers answered of late.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers not only predicted the Pack would "run the table" after opening the season 4-6 and then concocting what is now a seven-game winning streak.
