If the Cowboys win out

The IF should be ten meters high and bolded with italics.

Party pooper.

Sit back, and enjoy the ride.

I have heard that before, and have enjoyed it indeed.

There is that mature team moniker that really tells me the poster wants to be taken seriously with their analysis of the playoff landscape.

And this type of post tells me that you need to lighten up, francis, and quit acting your age.

This is going to be slightly difficult...
Nothing to worry about, but business this weekend. That's the focus.

And Kawhi should be back on Saturday!

Happy days are here again...

I tried to watch some NBA the other night..........my brother has the equivalent of the Sunday Ticket for the NBA so he gets like every game.

I watched like 15 min of like half a dozen games and turned that crap off, the officiating was down right laughable I was thinking "dam, I wonder if these refs are betting on games again".

And people think NFL refs are bad......................wow................they need to watch an NBA game.

Even after today's early results the Cowboys have a 60% chance of making the playoffs by winning out.

I suspect the odds of actually winning out are somewhat lower.

Down from about 80% though... confirming it was a bad day on the scoreboard.

 

[Verdict]

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.

It is hard to give any credence to a simulator that said that our chances of making the playoffs went up after all the teams we needed to lose pretty much won today. I'm just saying ....

 

[Verdict]

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

Winning out is going to be the hard part.

So much has to go right for us to get in that it's hard to fathom us getting in.

If we win out I can see us getting in front of Green Bay, Detroit etc., because it's not hard to see any team losing a single game out of three.

The problem is that we need Atlanta to lose 2 of three or Carolina to tank and that's not likely to happen. We in out we will probably be the 7th seed which doesn't get us anywhere.

It said 79% before today. It says 60% now.

Why is it unlikely Atlanta loses 2? It was unlikely they win 3 of their last 4, but that's what you're suggesting happens.

As of this morning:

The Cowboys make the playoffs in 56 percent* of scenarios.

* Based on 29,106 simulations.

IF we win out.

 

[CowboyRoy]

If we win out, we will likely come up just short of the playoffs due to loss of pivotal tie breaker games, probably GB or Atl....and it will crappify our draft position while simultaneously bringing false hope that JG is close to getting this team to compete for a title.

I can tell you for me personally that what is unfolding this season is 100% the absolute worst case scenario possible. The team does just enough to just miss the playoffs, Garrett remains coach, and we get a low draft pick. Cant be any worse then that.

Yet some of these types are tickled pink we still have a 4% chance at scraping into the playoffs. You have to wonder sometimes what people are thinking.

Lol
No doubt
The overall odds are 6% right now, after sunday's results.
Pretty stark contrast

They're 56% if the Cowboys win out, which tells you what the computers think the odds are of that happening.
