On a straight win, I'd narrowly pick Buffalo.  They have a lot to prove,
having been beaten the last 2 times.  They are on a roll after the
unfortunate win in the wild card game and have dominated some good teams
in the subsequent games.  Finally, Dallas has no Super Bowl experience
and could end up overawed by the whole thing, as "young" NFL teams
sometimes are.

However, I say this reluctantly, as I lived in Dallas for 7 years and
became, by default, a Dallas fan. (I it darn near impossible to follow
the Houston Oilers in the Dallas media. The converse is easy, however.)
