They currently have us with a 48 percent chance to win the division (Philly 36, NYG 15, Wash <1%) and a 64 percent chance at making the playoffs.

Dallas has seen the largest climb in their standings since the beginning of the season

Additionally they have Dallas with a 75% chance of winning this week vs. Houston.

Now they have us favored ... I'm not drinking that Jim Jones kool aide they're serving.

Good to hear our reputation has taken a spike in it's popularity but we all know that can change in a heartbeat. It's OK to soak up the niceties for the time being. Let's just hope our 'Boys don't go complacent vs the Texans.

It's not working.

Would you have had us favored before the season started? How about after 25% of the season has gone by and the Cowboys have gone 3-1 and displayed a dominant run game and an adequate defense?

I would rather fly under the radar and have no love. Oh well great to see we are turning some heads.

Now that I look back on it ... I thought you said a few of us "like" Jim Jones Kool Aid.
That's why I said it's not working.
Sometimes it's nice to have inside jokes.

Geesh all this newfound hype. This Houston game worries me. Garrett needs to make sure the team puts the NO game behind them and attack this Houston game with the same intensity. This is hardly a walkover game. Houston is not Jacksonville, unfortunately.

Who cares about projections? They are worth as much as a $3 bill. Give me results.

People don't ignore The Cowboys.....

I don't care about projections or power rankings, but I do care about what I see on the field, and with this oline, Dallas should absolutely win the east. This is the type of offense that can make a defense better, and we hadn't seen this since the 90's.

Every year there is a team that comes out of nowhere and goes further than anybody thought. This year, that team is us.
