If the Cowboys win out

[FuzzyLumpkins]

We make the playoffs 79% of the time. Our odds improved slightly by 1% over the last week where is was at 78%.

If we lose to the Seachickens it drops to 43% of outcomes.

The site is a welcome alternative to the whining and doomsaying that is all the rage around here lately for those of us who want to develop an informed opinion.

It's a further useful tool as it points out via color coding which matchups are most important and how we want them to turn out to get into the playoffs. Green is good.

We need a lot of help. But we have a shot.

Very cool, thanks for sharing. A lot of those games that could hurt us aren't going to be easy, meaning a lot of them are in our favor.

 

[windward]

Yes, much better than those claiming that 43 percent is equivalent to 0 percent.

 

[Sydla]

This is better than the ESPN version.

Not really. If we win out, our odds are pretty good just based on the fact that teams in competition with us have to play each other.

But generally speaking, go Jags, go Vikes this week.

It's coming...

Get ready for it...

I'm sorry, forgive me father...

 

[canters]

If we win out and get in, AND are hotter than a stolen pistol while doing so, watch out RG. Wez coming for yuz.

Something is wrong with my simulator. I picked Seattle and it dropped our playoff hopes to 3%.

 

[Zordon]

Is there anyway for us and Seattle to make the playoffs? The reason I ask is I don't think they're going to lose more than one more game this year.

Several.

The Rams lose all 4, or both Atlanta and Carolina both lose 2 more (Maybe just 1 with Atlanta depending on those division tie-breakers. Det/GB need to lose once still too).

@Nightman

If we make the POs, is there anyway we get RG?

 

[Diehardblues]

Slim hope is better than none. The scenarios are pretty far fetched and they include us winning out which is probably the least likeliest of the scenarios .

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Just a reminder, less than a year ago, this team won 11 straight.

It's hilarious how discussing probabilities is so offensive to people who wrote the season off March 1st.

If the cowboys win out. They will make the playoffs. Bank on it.

Winning out is going to be the hard part.

 

[pugilist]

win 2 straight w/ no Zeke against struggling teams + Cowboys' passing offense struggling

then win 2 straight with a highly probable "rusty" Zeke against a good Seahawks team and a division rival who may or may not rest starters depending on how the race for the 1 seed and 1st Rd bye goes

seems like too much adversity for a Garrett coached team
