Home field advantage in playoffs?

Let's just get IN the playoffs first huh?

Slim to none. Not the way New Orleans is playing this year and not with the schedule they have left: @STL, @TB, NE, @WAS, @ATL, DAL, TB, @CAR.

While any of those teams could beat NO, they have 2 legitimately tough games left and both are at home. AND, 5 of their last 8 games are indoors. Only @TB, @WAS, @CAR are games where weather could be a factor, but those are 3 "winnable" games for them.

I do think the Saints have a shot at 14-2 or better. It'd be hard for Dallas to top that record even w/ a head-to-head win. Dallas' schedule is defintiely a bit tougher.

Atlanta gave NO a tough game last time out in NO. That game at Atlanta is a possible loss. If they lose to NE and ATL, they'll be sort of "reeling" going into the game against us, having lost 2 of their last 3. 13-3 is about worst case scenario for them though, so we'd have to lose only once more and not to them.

What do you guys think the chances are that the Cowboys end up with home field advantage in the playoffs?

I think many would say we have NO chance. I disagree. I think that there is a decent chance that 13 and 3 gets home field advantage in the playoffs. The Saints are unbeaten, but realistically, they are not the caliber of team that you believe can stay unbeaten. I think Dallas beats them in New Orleans. I think they will also drop a couple that they shouldn't. Its just the way the NFL works.

I also think Favre will be Favre and will cost the Vikings a few games down the stretch, and the Vikings arent that well coached, so I can see coaching cost them a game somewhere along the way. If Peterson gets hurt, they could also befall hard times.

Its hard to stat on a winning streak, so Dallas will probably drop a game somewhere along the way as well.

Were you saying something?

Who says we are making the playoffs? If we do, it's because the division stinks, not because we are any good.
