Mavericks are the three seed(again don't quote me on this) but are playing higher seeds along the way. And now the Cardinals are following that script so far. And another thing these teams had in common is at some point in their season they were looking very likely that they might not make the postseason.

Dallas is anathema to me. As is Jerry Jones. Oh, but I dig Miles Austin - he's on my fantasy team and helped me win last week just like he will be doing this week.
