And then we get murdered by a real NFL team in the wildcard round.

It doesn't make much sense from what we've seen so far. This could be some sort of gambling conspiracy to get people to drop lots of cash on Dallas. Or at the very least it's yet another example of using the Cowboys to get clicks.

I doubt it. Betting against Dallas is very profitable. It's like taking candy from a baby.

Since there ain't a dominant team so far in the division, other than Washington, any NFCE team could take it.

Scroll down. If they win 8 more games, their no playoffs % drops to 15%.
Yes there will be they will not win 8 more games comments.
Winnable games - Unless the defense improves, maybe 6 games. And this is being generous.

The funny thing is, these % change dramatically at this time of the season.

For the NFC

Winning the NFCE this year is like winning the tallest midget contest.

 

[JayFord]

Is the rest of the division going to lose every week?

This team isnt touching a division title

 

[JayFord]

Has a 6 win team ever won the division?

Imagine we put this defense infront of millions during a playoff game

My goodness

 

[LonnieElam]

If we win the division, I won't even be excited knowing we'll be one-and-done.

 

[sunalsorises]

Is this before or after Mike Pettine joined the staff?

 

[Captain-Crash]

It's a possibility.

If they make the playoffs. It means the defense is playing better. So it will not be the same defense we are seeing now.
