The hype for those teams in those markets is just so over the top that it's hard for the players to not get caught up in it and start believing their press clippings. Not to take anything away from the Packers but you got the feeling the Cowboys felt like they could just show up on home turf and things would just take care of itself. It was basically the football version of Mike Tyson vs Buster Douglas. I was having such a good time in the first half of the game marvelling at the meltdown that I didn't even care that the Cowboys losing tanked a few of my Sports Select tickets. Totally worth not winning the money to see Jerry cursing in his suite.
