10 games in: 1 in the NFC in point differential is none other than your Dallas Cowboys

Dallas +84
Philly +80

Dallas #2 overall in point differential in the NFL, behind the Bills (+107).

Hey you know, we haven't done too well since 2014 when it comes to making a deep playoff run as a division winner, even as a #1 seed (see 2016). Maybe, just maybe, the best thing for this team would to be a pissed off #5 seed playing on the road. Seems to me that AT&T is just as much a HFA for the opponents in the playoffs than it is for the Cowboys.

To catch the Eagles we probably need to win out and get at least 1 more Eagle loss (in addition to beating them at AT&T).

Eagles have been figured out a bit. Would not be surprised to see them lose a couple before Christmas

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah, no. You want to be at home. Even if it's not much of a home field advantage to you it at least removes the home field advantage for the opponent.

If the roles were reversed (Eagles smashed a one loss team on the road, and the Cowboys had to barely eek out a win over a trash team that just fired their HC and is in disarray), this board would 100% be melting down.

Dome teams don’t usually travel well in winter

Eagles are going to lose to the GOAT Big Daddy Rodgers next weekend. Packers will run the table and be a very difficult out at 10-7 in the playoffs as the last wildcard seed

RS have they fixed it in the NFL yet, where the highest ranked WC team can host a home game, or do does the best WC = #5 seed, having to travel to the 4th best division winner?

Obviously we'd like to see the Cowboys win the division. But even with beating the Eagles in Dallas (which I think they will), we'll need some help. An Indy win would have been nice today.
