Division winner scenarios thread

philly also beat miami so only the detroit game would matter

Yep. But if Dallas beats Miami then it is a wash for both teams. If Dallas beats Detroit then that would be considered a better strength of victory than either the Chiefs or Buffalo for Philly.

This weekend should actually prove to be relaxing either way. A loss...which appears obvious...really means nothing. Because Philly isn't losing to AZ, and everything hinges on a NY loss.

The room is teams one beat and the other didn’t. So if KC and Buff keep winning games, that helps Philly. If LAC and NYJ pull out wins, that helps DAL

And that's exactly why there isn't much room. KC/BUFF > NYJ and anybody.

How?

I answered this question in my reply to you. It would go to the 5th tiebreaker if they both win out and Philly has control of that.

I disagree Philly wins the 5th tie breaker.

I disagree Philly wins the 5th tie breaker.

If you add it up, Philly has the advantage. What do you disagree with?

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss AZ. Kyler Murray is due for one of those 'pull one out of his ***' PAUSE type games. And with this Philly defense/Hurts I wouldn't trust them against anybody right now

-------Bizarre they cant just look at the 2 games we played against each other and add up all points scored by both and the winner is the team who outscored the other.

Someone correct me if I have my facts wrong. Back in 1981 we won the last game of the year in Texas Stadium against Philly but lost the Division because they scored more total points over the entire season....it was such a downer of a victory!!!

I've already stated a few times in this thread. What did you add up to consider better wins? Again this is assuming both teams win out.

 

[TheFinisher]

it’s up in the air with strength of victory if we both win out.

We need DET, SEA, LAC, NYJ, CAR to win

We need ARI, KC, BUF, MIN, TB to lose

 

[ak47kaehu]

You can't really calculate like this because we don't know how the rest of the schedule besides Eagles and Cowboys games will go.

So what's the SoV calculation up to this point in the season?

just add up the wins for the teams each of us beat.

I remember a week 17 in the 90’s where Green Bay and another team were all the way down to point differential so Green Bay was intentionally running up the score and Favre was just throwing bombs against a hapless opponent

That doesn't sound promising.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

So will the Cowboys.

We could still win the division in that scenario

 

[rambo2]

I am in shocked and expected the eagles to pull away and cannot believe they lost another game LOL

Back to back road games and Seattle had extra rest. If I'm not mistaken.

 

[Tabascocat]

I disagree Philly wins the 5th tie breaker.

Hopefully, my next sentence settles this for you:

Dallas does NOT control their own destiny.

Right now

Phi: 34 wins
Dal: 29 wins

We’re 5 games back in SOV

Beating Miami will make it even no?
