Tie Breakers for 1 seed

[Jumbo075]

If Green Bay wins out, Pacers win #1 seed by virtue of best overall win/loss record

If the Cowboys win out, Tampa Bay wins out, and Green Bay loses 1 game, there will be a 3-way tie at 13-4 in the NFC. Cowboys win #1 seed by virtue of best conference record of 11-1 vs. Green Bay (10-2) and Tampa Bay (8-4).

If Cowboys win out, and Green Bay and Tampa Bay each lose a game, then Cowboys and Packers will be tied for best record in NFC of 13-4. The Cowboys and Packers have 6 games against common opponents (Saints, Vikings, Chiefs, Commanders, Cardinals.) All 3 of Green Bays current losses are against common opponents (Saints, Chiefs, Vikings), while the Cowboys have only 1 loss against common opponents (Chiefs). If the Cowboys win out, and Green Bay loses to the Vikings, the common opponents record will be 5-1 for the Cowboys, and 2-4 for the Packers. If the Packers lose to either the Browns or Lions, then the common opponents record will be 5-1 for the Cowboys, and 3-3 for the Packers. So the Cowboys would have both the best conference record of 11-1 vs. Packers record of 10-2, or best record vs. common opponents. Cowboys would get #1 seed.

If the Packers lose 2 games, and both the Cowboys and Buccaneers win out, then there is a two way tie at 13-4 between the Cowboys and Buccaneers, and the Buccaneers win the #1 seed by virtue of Head-to-Head matchup from week 1 of the season.

Bottom Line: Cowboys need Packers to lose 1 game, and then win out to get the #1 seed. Or they need both the Packers and Buccaneers to lose 1 game, and the Cowboys win out.

The Indiana Pacers give you a like.

I like the breakdown of scenarios. Let's hope we find our offense in time for the playoffs!

KM's stock is pointing down as far as HC opportunities.

The pink seems superfluous to me.

I will be very impressed if the Pacers get the #1 seed.

Personally, I have my doubts

You left out the elephant in the room.

The Rams

Yeah. Typos, dang it!

I will be very impressed if the Pacers get the #1 seed.

Personally, I have my doubts

Home vs Browns
Home vs Vikings
Road vs Lions

Why the doubts?

 

[fivetwos]

You left out the elephant in the room.

The Rams

That's what mean about rooting FOR them today.

In these scenarios, don't we want them out of the way?

 

[Jumbo075]

You left out the elephant in the room.

The Rams

You left out the elephant in the room.

The Rams

Rams conference record is 6-3. If they win out, they still only have a 9-3 conference record.

you left the rams out of some of these. they could factor in

 

[Direwolf63]

Home vs Browns
Home vs Vikings
Road vs Lions

Why the doubts?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the Pacers are an NBA team.

They are good athletes, but I don't think they could beat any of those NFL teams play football.

I may change my mind if they decide to play basketball however

 

[JBS]

Rams conference record is 6-3. If they win out, they still only have a 9-3 conference record.

That’s not the point. The point is it helps create a 3 way tie. Which helps Dallas.

 

[DFWJC]

Rams conference record is 6-3. If they win out, they still only have a 9-3 conference record.

You're right.

I'm thinking SB contenders, but your thread title was #1 seed and that's pretty much out for them barring a collapse by a bunch of good teams.
Plus they have a 2-3 tough games left

 

[Jumbo075]

Rams and Cardinals both have tough closeout schedules.

 

[JoeKing]

Yeah. Typos, dang it!

There is a way of avoiding those pesky typos. Proofread before you click on "Post Reply". But of course, it's my fault you didn't do that.

 

[JoeKing]

The bottom line, the Cowboys need to win out and then stand a good chance of good things happening. Hosting their first playoff game is a 99.99% lock. Win that, they have a very good chance of hosting the next playoff game. Those other scenarios with other teams are just confusing.

It's all right here.

You're forgetting the Rams in this equation who could win out and be 13-4 as well

 

[DFWJC]

Our NFC schedule has been beneficial, to say the least

9 NFC games and only vs 1 team with a winning record. That seems almost impossibly fortunate.
8 wins vs teams without a winning record
1 loss vs the only team we played currently with a winning record.

But you can only play who is on your schedule. Not Dallas' fault.
