Playoff outlook......schedule break down.

[SDogo]

It's that time. I 'believe it's too early. Starting this week I have started to take a interest in the other games and there effect on the Cowboys playoff chances. Next week marks the half way point of the season. It's time to for the pieces to start falling into place.

Dallas @ Philadelphia: Obviously the biggest game of the year for the Cowboys and could decide the Cowboys chances in the East at the half way point. Dallas cant fall behind the Eagles who are already 2-0 in the division.

Arizona @ Chicago: H2H this game means very little. It really comes down to getting one team out of the way. Chicago is not going to catch Minnesota, Arizona plays in a very weak NFC West. I see the long term benefit for Dallas coming in a Arizona win. Chicago could be a player for that wild card spot.

Washington @ Atlanta: Already have the H2H with Atlanta. Hate to see Washington win but it would benefit Dallas IMO. Falcons are a player for the wild card.

Green Bay @ Tampa Bay: Obviously a Tampa Bay win helps for several reason but the odds are slim and none.........next

Carolina @ New Orleans: Saints are likely to take the division. We have the H2H on Carolina. I guess if your thinking home filed root for the Panthers. If you just want to make the show the smart bet it too root for the Saints.

Detroit @ Seattle: Who cares.......

Tennessee @ San Francisco: Titans win helps no matter how you cut it.

San Diego @ NY Giants: Do we even need to go over this one?

Depending on your ideal scenario, you may hope for different results. I just want to get into the show. Not worried about home field or divisional crowns.

i think next week is not going to be a good week for us in hoping that the other teams we are competing against for a wild card spot is going to lose for us. atleast when we lose against philly we still have the upper hand in wild card race at the midseason point.

You should root for New Orleans over Carolina because we need as much distance as possible between NO and Atlanta.

If we're competing for a wild card spot, we would have a better shot against Atlanta due to the tiebreaker than we would against NO. If Atlanta wins their division, that means more competition for us.

Edit - Obviously this means you should root for New Orleans on Monday.

You mean if we lose.

Forget all that other stuff. If the Cowboys take care of business, nothing else matters.
