Boom goes the dynamite!

Time to step on the throats and finish it.

If we win the next 3 it's done. HFA.

Not only that, there is a very real chance Dallas could win the east in two weeks. They beat Minn and NY and the Giants lose at Pittsburgh.

I think that is to win the division, seeds 1-4. It's probably 81% to get HFA.

Correct.

Yes, our magic number is 3 as of today.

What will it take for Cowboys to clinch a playoff spot? Strange we are not yet in with 10 wins just yet with a bunch of tiebreakers in our favor...

We have a greater than 99% chance. So we will probably clinch Sunday even with a loss Thursday.

No less than 2 as of tonight.

One of those 3 would have to be the Giants. As of right now.

Correct. That changes with a Dallas win at Min and a NYG loss to Steelers. That's for first three seeds but two wins today for seeds 4-6.

If we beat the Vikes (this game is huge!!!!!) and the Steelers at home beat the G-men (Pitt aint losing games at home in December needing a playoff berth, refs aint going to allow that).............then we are pretty much set up for HFA.

We would be 3 games ahead of the Giants with 4 to play...........even if they beat us, it doesn't matter............almost impossible for them to win the division

We would be 2.5 games ahead of Seattle...............they have a tie that is kicking them in the butt right now................up 2.5 with 4 to play.

BOTTOM LINE................We beat the Vikes, the Steelers beat the Giants................we then could drop 2 of last 4 and still get HFA, we would have to lose 3 of our last 4 to not get homefield.

****This assumes that the Giants and Seahawks both win out after this weekend, any additional losses will pretty much seal it for Dallas********

I wouldn't spent much time on stats. Dallas has monster matchup with Giants in 2 weeks.

Nah. I'll focus on this stat I posted in the OP. I'll let everyone else worry about the "monster" game in NY.

No. Seeds 1-3 require 3 wins as of today. Seeds 4-6 require 2 wins as of today.
