Some comforting facts that say Dallas will make the playoffs

[lurkercowboy]

When Dallas has a record of 8-3 after 11 games in a 16-game season, they have made the playoffs 100% of the time.

When Dallas has averaged at least 5.3 yards per offensive play in a 16-game season, they have made the playoffs 11 out of 12 times. This year they are averaging 6.4 yards per play, which would be a record for a 16-game season.

When Dallas has given up less than 19 points per game in a 16-game season, they have made the playoffs 10 out of 10 times. This year they are allowing 16.5 points per game.

When the Cowboys score more than 21.8 points per game in a 16-game season, they have made the playoffs 14 out of 15 times. This year they are scoring 23.2 points per game.

.636 winning percentage of Dallas' final five opponents: the toughest schedule among the playoff contenders. If they make it, they'll earn it.

Here are a couple of sites that project/simulate the rest of the season and determine each team's odds of making the playoffs --

One says we have an 88 percent chance of making the playoffs, and the other says we have an 85.8 percent chance.

Only comfort I will have is when I see the league put the mark next to the Cowboys name showing they have clinched a playoff spot and then the mark showing they have clinched the division. Would not mind getting a bye week along the way.

If we win Sunday I'd say it approaches 100%.
