Our likely position has obviously changed after the early games, but whats likely to be the case from here?

I suppose SF has clinched the one seed, but who is our likely opponent in the 2/7 game? Who do/don’t we want to see?

It’s been discussed that the 5/4 game will be easier for the favorite than the 2/7, but the advantage the following week is far different.

Seems obvious that we would rather face Min or GB as opposed to LAR/Seattle.

Maybe someone who gets it and isn’t still on a bender from last night can help me out. Appreciate….

Depends on who you think the Cowboys would have an easier time with. The Rams and Seahawks both have weapons that can turn the game into a shootout.

Also, let's say disaster strikes next week and Dallas is indeed the 5 seed. Is it better to go play the NFC South winner on the road, or get the Rams/Seahawks/Packers/Vikings at home?

To answer your question, if you don't want to see Seattle, root for the Steelers. Won't officially eliminate them but would make it harder for them to get in.

We root for Seattle, Green Bay, or Minnesota to get 7th seed. Let Detroit deal with the Rams.

But now I'm not so sure I'd rather see Detroit in the playoffs over Philly. In fact I don't. So hope the Rams beat Detroit so we get Philly in the divisional round at home.

Don’t want to see Metcalf again, he is a beast. Would rather see the rams.

I’m rooting for Washington and Philly to win. I want the 5 seed… Tampa is a much easier first game than Seattle or Rams. I don’t care that we will have to play 49ers in the divisional round… we will have to beat them at their place anyway to get where we want to go.

It's better to be home as many games as possible in the playoffs. Dallas scored 84 combined points against the Seahawks and Rams this year at home.

Dallas much better at home.
Need the 2 seed to have a chance to win more than 1
