The Cowboy's Fan Picks for This Week's Games

[rcaldw]

Ok, here is the premise: We need the following teams to win or lose this week. Not picking who I THINK will win or lose, but who the Cowboys NEED to win or lose. You can correct me where you think I'm wrong.

Cleveland at Atlanta - Need a Cleveland win - always want NFC teams to lose.
Tampa Bay at Chicago - Doesn't matter much but probably would want the Bears to lose
Cincy at Houston - Want Houston to lose because they exist in the same state.
Jax at Indy - Want Indy to lose, we have to play them in the future.
GB at Min - Want GB to lose
Det at NE - Want Detroit to lose
Ten at Philly - Obvious - Beagles need to go down.
Stl at Chargers - Chargers need to win. NFC team needs to lose
Ari at Seattle - Need Seattle to lose because of possible WC implications
Mia at Denver - Doesn't matter
Was at SF - Need SF to lose - WC implications
NYJ at Buff - Doesn't matter
Bal at NO - Need the Saints to lose

Any disagreement?

Yes,

Miami win! Im a fan
Never ever root for a Wash or NE win - I know it helps us in potential playoff scenarios so I get it. Its hard to want either of those teams to win tho.

Pretty much right on except for the Miami Denver game.

You should be rooting for all teams we have played/ beat to win...strength of schedule/victory are tie breakers...unless we are competing for a spot.

So we want STL, Indy and Seattle (we own tiebreaker) to win.

You forgot the most important game of the weekend.

True but isn't Seattle still a threat to overtake us record wise?

I am thinking about home field and the bye week.

Seattle plays AZ and SF twice plus Philly I kinda want them to win all 5...we have the tie breaker at 12-4.

Be careful what you wish for re Detroit losing. We don't want GB to get any kind of HF advantage in the playoffs.

I want them both to lose

One of them has to win the division. Let it be Detroit.

Interactive tables that display the swing in likelihood of a post-season seed for every team based on current standings and the result of each week 12 match-up that would have a significant effect on the aforementioned team's playoff chances.

From the looks of it we're not going to get as much help as last week without some upsets. Go Titans.

 

[Szczepanik]

We should be rooting for AZ, and Detroit under the circumstance that GB loses.

We want DET to win that division instead of GB.

We also want Seattle to be higher than SF, but not high enough to pass up obviously.

There will be a very fine line between having playoff homefield, and potentially missing out completely.

Don't worry. If you ask very nicely, he'll tell you which team you should be rooting for in that one.
