How Many Wins Needed

[Future]

I think 11-5 will win the division and, actually, get you home field as well.

Seems a bit far fetched, but who outside the division is going to go 12-4? GB and Detroit? They play each other again and each have a few tough games remaining. Seattle and SF both have three losses and play each other twice, Arizona only has one loss but have Seattle twice, SF, Dallas, Detroit, and KC.

12-4 should give you home field for sure, but 11-5 could do it.

 

[Staubacher]

I'd be very pleased with 12-4. That means we go 6-3 the rest of the way with a pretty tough closing schedule. Depending on how we do in the Eagles games it means either the division or wild card. I don't think they will sweep us and I think they lose a few more games and end up 11-5 at best, maybe 10-6.

So 12-4 should get us the divsion and a shot at a first round bye.

13 wins to get the 1 seed. But 12 will probably get you home field advantage. 11 to win the east. 10 wins gets us a wildcard.

As of going into this week, so some team could get hot, and come into play.
These are games against these teams, however there will be some games against teams they could lose to, like the Lions play the Patriots later on, but not looking at that. Just team against each other to be wins or losses for HFA games.

Cardinals have Eagles this weekend, They need to play Lions, 49ers, Seahawks twice.
Lions really the Cards & Packers that stand out
GB at Saints, Eagles, & Lions
49ers, Saints, Seahawks twice, Cards.
Seahawks, Panthers, Cards twice, 49ers twice, Eagles
Iggles at Cards, Cowboys twice, Panthers, Packers, Seahawks

We have 2 games against Eagles, Cards, as key games against contenders as of this week.

Seems Cowboys and Packers and Lions have the easier go of it, for games left with each other of these contenders.

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.

1 more than the next best team in the NFC East.

 

[Hoov]

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

My thoughts as well.

 

[Doomsday101]

The correct answerer is as many as we can get. I'm shooting for 15-1 right now. lol

 

[dogunwo]

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

I as going to say 13 to win the number one seed. I don't see GB losing more than two more games.

 

[Joe Realist]

I think 8-8 is our record..

That has always been my dream scenario for a Cowboy season. Lose game 1, then never lose again. 15 regular season wins, 3 playoff including Super Bowl. There would be no pressure about going undefeated, yet you would be one of the top teams in NFL history!

11 will win the east as long as that includes at least a split with the Eagles.

Way I see it if your going to go out and play the game may as well shoot to win and if you come up a couple short that's alright. lol

 

[perrykemp]

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

Agreed.

 

[weaver21]

I'd have to say 10 wins to get a WC spot, 11 wins to win the East (although that's debatable considering how Philly continues to play) and 12 wins to win the NFC.

I have no clue what all that means.

more realistic take is Dallas at 8-2 heading into bye week. That leaves 6 games left (4 of them divisional games). I thinks is reasonable to think that Dallas will split with philly. That makes them 9-3 and then its just a guess to what they do in second divisional games with skins, giants. Then there is non divisional games against Chicago and Indy. I could see Luck torching Dallas secondary. I have Dallas at 11-5. I also have Eagles at 11-5. So tie breaker will come down to I believe record within conference.
