Remember, that even IF the Cowboys win out, they still may have problems slipping in the Tourney if the NFC Teams that already have good records keep them there. NFC West and NFC North still claim the 3 Wild Cards, and Philly has to completely collapse if we want to win Division. Watching these games not only gives us Playoff hope, but Cowboys will most likely be playing teams in these games during the Playoffs.

1PM (EST) GAMES

Rams
@ Panthers. At 9-2, Rams just have too many wins for us to hope for any collapse. Best they just beat opponents we need beaten, like the Panthers. Possible big game again for Rico Dowdle, only got 6 carries last week against 49ers. Coach admits he blew it on the runs.

Cardinals @ Buccaneers. Bucs are 6-5, Panthers are 6-6. One of them will win the NFC South. But we want them to stay at .500 record when they win so we don't have to worry about potential Wild Cards coming from NFC South. Probably only game on this list that has splits on win predictions. Rest of the games are unanimous.

49ers @ Browns. We REALLY want the Browns to win this because there are too many NFC West Teams with good records. 49ers haven't won in Cleveland since 1984, but Shadeur Sanders makes his 2nd start ever. Media still picking 49ers to win this.

4PM (EST) GAMES

Vikings
@ Seahawks. Vikings are only 4-7 so not much of a threat, but Seahawks are 8-3. Another NFC West Team like the 49ers we want taken down to make it easier to earn a Wild Card by end of season. Vikings are starting an undrafted rookie at QB. Yikes.
 
No way the Panthers, Browns or Vikings win today. Panthers have an outside chance. The Cardinals/Bucs game likely goes to the Bucs.

Anything is possible, especially this year.

We beat the Chiefs and Eagles, but managed to get smashed by the Cardinals.

We also gave up 44 points to a Broncos offense that couldn't score 14 points vs the Jets or Raiders.
 
The Vikes might be a top most disappointing team this season, and have some yahoo starting at QB. The Bucs get RB1 back and will roll over a dysfunctional Cards team
 
I decree that this day shall be known as "Given Sunday".

And you know what can happen on any "Given Sunday".

While its not likely to happen saying no way its going to happen is not serious...there have been much bigger upsets in the regular season than these 3.
 
Wouldn't mind seeing the Gnats upset the Patsies..... I'm not thrilled that they seem to be rebuilding as quick as they are. Why can't they use the 30 year plan like Jerry?
 
Weather a big factor in Cleveland. Favors the Browns D.
 
Brownies at home getting 5 pts.? This may be a lot closer than people think. Low scoring will favor them.
 
Well...the worse possible outcomes for the 1:00 games. Rams end their win streak and lose to the Panthers, while the Bucs beat the Cards which means they're both either slightly above our Cowboys or about the same. (Bucs .583, Cowboys .542 and Panthers .538)

49ers beat Browns as to be expected, so more ground we can't catch up there.

Hopefully the fading Vikings come alive again and beat the Seahawks in second games.
