Playoff status

[jobberone]

Playoff status now has us at 47% to win the East and 26% to win the third seed with a 23% chance of not making the playoffs.

The Eagles are at 15% to win the 3 seed and 9% to win the 4th seed. They have a 67% chance of not making the playoffs. They play the Cards then Lions at home. They then play at MN, host Chi then play at Dallas. That's three games they are likely to be underdogs, a near tossup and a better than their record indicates MN there.

We have @Chi, GB, @Wash, and Philly. We should be favored in two, and toss up and possibly GB depends on their health, record, and whether Rodgers plays. Should be at worst a tossup although it wouldn't surprise me if Rodgers carved us up if he plays although he will likely be rusty. It normally takes 7-8 weeks to come back from a displaced collar bone fracture and 3=6 from a non displaced one.

We are in the driver's seat esp 4-0 in the division and 5-2 in the conference. I think they are tied with Philly in common opponents.

We have been in the drivers seat for each of the last two season and wrecked the car.

Im encoraged by the offense showing up when they did but they have to stop starting games in a funk. This defense is just horrible so the offense needs to be consistently good the rest of the way.

Dunbar looked great I hope hes not going to miss any time.

In my younger days I got into all those percentages and stuff. Maybe it is just me getting older but I just want the Cowboys to take of business on their own by winning.

You will see those percentages change dramatically if Philly loses to Arizona.

Well they have to win probably at least two more. If they both win out up to week 17 the loser could be still likely be playing for a WC spot. It is going to be tough for Philly to beat the Cards and the Lions IMO esp since they are home games and they don't win there much lately. Chi is a push and then they have us. @MN won't be a gimme.

 

[DallasCowboysRule!]

If Philly loses to Arizona we will be in a great place. I'd expect that they will lose to Chicago and Detroit as well. Minnesota is also no pushover.

I don't do the calculations myself so I don't know by how much but they will go down. We'd be a game and a half up with four to go. We need to go to Chi and take care of business.

Bears will come out swinging. That will be a tough game. I'm less worried about the Packers. They are finished. Stick a fork in em.

47 + 26 + 23 = 96. What option am I missing?

 

[Don Corleone]

4% chance of team implosion.

 

[Tabascocat]

47 + 26 + 23 = 96. What option am I missing?

Those numbers are mutually exclusive, they don't have to add up to 100%.

[CowboysFanSince88]

If we can beat the Bears then we should definitely win the division because the eagles are going to lose 2 out of these 4 games

Arizona, Detroit, Chicago, Minnesota

except they will have THE BEST QUARTERBACK IN FOOTBALL back with one game under his belt and ready to win to get in.

It is possible that ATT Stadium will have more Cheeseheads than Cowboy Hats

 

[lwehlers]

If we win the next three and the eagles lose one would the cowboys win the division before the last game. the cowboys would be 5-0 in the division and the eagles 3-2 the cowboys would have the tie breaker no matter if they would lose the last game and finish with same record?

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

If the Cardinals can beat the eagles, that is a good start to the month of November. I see the Cards winning because of the main reason below

Foles was named the starter for the rest of the season...........lot of pressure on him to lead them to playoffs

Well, I guess one could say he is due back, but I wonder if he'll really be back or not. He sat out a huge division game against the Lions today. If they couldn't risk playing him today, will he really be good to go against us in 17 days, or in 10 days to play Atlanta?

You know for a fact Rodgers will be back for Dallas. Everyone wants to play against dallas

There are very slight chances we will get the 5th or 6th seed.
