10 wins should get us in, but a lot of crazy things could still happen. The Cowboys chances of winning the NFC East are not looking real good being 2 games down to a 10-1 team with 6 games left. The Cowboys would pretty much have to win out to overtake the Eagles. Philly would have to lose to the Cowboys, and lose one more game for the Cowboys to overtake them in the NFC East. There’s three wild cards with 7 teams with 5 or more wins. The Cowboys have a pretty tough schedule the remainder of the season with Philly, Tennessee, and Washington on the road in the season finale. All three will be difficult games to win plus Indy, Houston and Jacksonville aren’t going to be pushovers. If the Cowboys were to slip up against one or more of those weaker teams, they could be in some real trouble if some of these other 5 win teams start stringing wins together. There’s a number of scenarios that can happen in the NFC in the next 6 games. so I wouldn’t be handing the Cowboys a playoff spot just yet. Plus all three of the Cowboys losses this season are conference losses, which factor in tiebreakers.
This defense is too good to allow this team to collapse and the offense has returned to the top of the NFL since Dak returned even though they managed to do just enough to win 4 out of 5 without him. This team is making the playoffs.. Period. It's really just a matter of whether they will be the one seed or the five. To miss they would have to lose four of the last six games AND have a lot of luck go against them. I don't see that happening.
