Last week virtually everyone on here had us beating Dallas.

They have a non existent pass rush and suspect corners. In case you haven't been paying attention to Dallas much this year, they've had a pretty soft schedule and they eck out wins. Our defense also plays better away from Century Link contrary to popular belief. They'll also be even better by then with Michael Bennett and Earl Thomas in the roster.
Also, this team shows time and time again they play up to their great opponents and down to their not so good opponents. Pete Carroll USC teams were the same way.

Dominate O line and a dominate running game.
They dominate in time of possession.
How exactly do they not match up well with us? They our our Achilles Heel.
Because we have a great defense. Our rush defense is night and day better with Michael Bennett in the lineup. Name another defense that matches up better?
Dallas' defense is also pretty bad. The have absolutely zero pass rush. Teams that give Seattle trouble are teams with good pass rushes. Again, Dallas isn't blowing teams out of the water.
Have you seen Dallas O-line play before? They are downright frightening. The hawks D will not be able to stop them without this offense putting up points.

So while the Cowboy's O-line and run game is pretty damn scary, it's a good matchup for us if again, we have a healthy Bennett.
You also saw what Cousins and the Skins did to the Dallas defense on Thanksgiving. Cousin's threw for damn near 500 yards. So I have no doubt Russell and our offense can put up more than enough points to beat Dallas.

Defense wins championships, bring it on.
