How Many Wins Needed

[TwoDeep3]

There was a discussion today on the radio about how many games needed to win the East. Top seed in the NFC. And a little back ground. Evidently 10 wins did not assure you a spot in the tourney two out of the last five years.

So - just projecting.

If Dallas beats the Skins, Az, and Jackson, that puts them at nine.

How many will it take to win the east?

How many will it take to win the NFC 1 seed.

How do they get there?

Dallas is the favorite to win the East.

Dallas is 8-1 to win the NFC

Dallas is 5-1 to tin the SB

I have no clue what all that means.

 

[Risen Star]

I'd bet it'll take 11 wins to win the East. Probably 12 to get the 1 seed.

 

[waving monkey]

It's usually ten wins but Philly is a comer so yes eleven might be required
just running Philly will fix that problem

 

[JoeKing]

11 wins to make the tourney, 12 wins to win the division, 13 wins to win the NFC.

I think the magic number should be 12 to get everything, 11 for the division and 10 for the WC.
The NFC South is going to have one playoff team and that is the division winner.
The North will probably have one and that one will probably be Green Bay. Just not a believer in Detroit
The West gets 2 - I could see a scenario where Arizona completely falls off or at least back and SF/Seattle get in. Otherwise Arizona/SF will get in from the West.
The East will get 2 and you know who those 2 are.

On a side note about the West, I can't believe that Seattle is in real danger of not making the playoffs. No one would have thought that a month ago.

Seattle had the number one seed last year and they were 13-3, so that kinda gives you a ballpark right there.

13-3 is going to be tough, that means we have to go 7-2 down the stretch with 2 games against Philly, road game at the Meadowlands, road game at Chicago, and a home game against Andrew Luck and the Colts. That's 5 hard games right there with only 2 of them at home.

If I was a betting man, I would say we would go 6-3 down the stretch for a final record of 12-4................don't know if that gives us home field or not, depends on how the Packers end up. I think they are our main competition for the number one seed.

11-5 wins the division......13-3 gets home-field throughout IMO. It is possible that 10-6 gets a wildcard from the East but I would not bank on it if ARI, DET and the like continue to win,

10-6 means that we went 4-5 down the stretch..................that would be an epic collapse for a 6-1 team.

Where does it say that I predicted Dallas does this? I just gave my opinion on how many wins are needed and for what seed, doesn't matter by whom.

I do agree that if we end up at 10-6, then something went wrong.

Its all good bro, I was not saying that was your prediction, I was just saying that if we ended up at 10-6 that would be an epic collapse.

I was not calling you out, sorry if it sounded that way.

Hard to decipher, for sure. Dallas has a better chance of winning the Super Bowl than it does of winning the NFC? I'd like someone to explain to me how that works.

Yeah...I'm starting to hope that the Saints somehow stop Rodgers in New Orleans this weekend...they are still favored by 1.5 so that dome-field advantage still seems to be (barely) holding for them. They need that win really badly...their season is hanging in the balance right now at 2-4. The NFC South is a real hot mess right now though.

I do think 12-4 might get the road going through your own place. It would be something if Dallas could match 2007's 13-3. Can you even believe we can talk like this with nearly half the season gone already? Really, really weird place for Cowboy fans to be right now...good place, but weird still.

Dude, if they make it to 9-1, then manage to get Eli at home, then I would say Dallas has the inside track on the 1 seed...they would likely only need to win two more games to do it. We could see a repeat of the '07 season, where they had everything wrapped up but laid down at Washington...and just look who's on the calendar at the end of the year in 2014...deja vu?

 

[kramskoi]

FootballOutsiders is currently projecting 11.3 wins for Dallas, with a 90% chance of reaching the post-season. So not quite 12 wins on the projection yet...and it probably won't happen unless they beat both Washington and Arizona. Due to SOS, they have a margin of 15-20% points on Philadelphia for all post-season scenarios. New York's chances of making the post-season have fallen to just over 5%, with a 7-9 season projection.

All of them.

 

[Eddie]

Hard to predict what it'll take to win the division. The Iggles are right behind us at 5-1, and may be 8-1 by the time they get to play GB.

 

[NorTex]

11 wins to make the tourney, 12 wins to win the division, 13 wins to win the NFC.

Ditto.

When the dust settles, I believe Seattle will be right in the thick of things

Yes, me too. Even the hosts of the radio show were perplexed over those odds.

True that is why the win over them was big in terms of tie breaker should it come down to that. Same with the upcoming game vs Cards. Getting those games can go a long ways to clinching a playoff berth.
