The Raiders and Cowboys are definitely two teams the NFL likes to do well because they have such a large national following.

The ideal NFL playoff picture:
NFC:
Cowboys
Packers
49ers
Wildcard between Giants, Redskins, Eagles, Bears
Whoever wins the south (Current favorite would be Vick's Falcons)

AFC:
Dolphins
Steelers
Raiders
Wildcard between Jets, Patriots, and Broncos
Whoever wins the south (current favorite would be Manning's Colts)

Certain teams just have national followings developed over the years or they are in major markets that the NFL wants to see prosper.
