Would Cowboys rather SF or Phil get 1 seed?

[Diehardblues]

Of course we’d rather get top seed but I don’t think that’s a reality now as SF looks poised to win out with no winning record teams left on schedule which if Phil loses another game SF would own top seed.

Of course I suppose we need to still root to win Division so we can have a playoff game at home .

But if we lose to Phil which they have much more incentive to win now or risk losing top seed to SF, then I’d argue we might should root for Phil to win out.

We’d be basically 3 games back being swept and tiebreakers with 4 games to go. And as 5th seed going to South winner assuming we could win that I’d like our chances going to Phi for Divisional Round instead of SF.

If we don’t get it, I rather see Detroit get it.

Sure but that’s not as likely as either SF or Phil.

If Dallas went to Phili the would still need to go to SF if they beat the Eagles. It just won't matter.

We can only worry about taking care of business , by beating the next opponent in front of us, win out and let the marbles fall , one loss in between will probably happen , if its not NFc opponent its good.

If Dallas stays at #5, then SF. When/if Dallas meets them, it will at least be the championship game. It’s better than going there in the divisional.

 

[theanimal23]

I rather have SF be the #1 seed. If Dallas gets to round 2, I like their chances better vs Philly than SF. If Philly would beat Dallas, I'd like to see them go play in SF (vs in Philly) with hopefully SF winning if Dallas lost to Philly.

 

[Risen Star]

There's no definite answer but you'd rather Philly. Odds are if the Cowboys advance past the wild card round they would be the lowest remaining seed and travel to the 1 seed in the divisional round. You want that to be the Eagles and not the 49ers.

 

[theanimal23]

I hope Detroit gets the #1 seed, if Dallas can't.

100% agree. The Cowboys have a better chance of beating the eagles in Philly, than the Niners…. Anywhere.

If Dallas stays at 5 Philly at 1 is the clear choice

 

[Yobwocs]

Why do we feel confident the Niners will go undefeated the rest of the way? They typically play bad against the AFC North and I'm not confident they beat the Rams either. Stafford typically plays well against them.

#1 seed gets the lowest remaining seed. Unless you’re banking on the 2 or 3 seed being upset in the WC, that would definitely put Dallas @ SF in the divisional round.

Yes, but I’d argue we’d have a better opportunity to advance to championship game if division round is in Phi than SF.

And finally breaking thru to championship game is the initial goal this season.

They are playing very well and have no winning teams currently left on their schedule . It’s not much of a stretch to see them winning out.

They have the Ravens

I'd rather PHI n SF play each other, and DAL play the winner.

Right .

At least we’d have an opportunity to lose to them in Championship game instead of divisional and wild card round the last two seasons .

 

[Diehardblues]

Sorry. I missed that. I see now. On Xmas night at home . Thanks

Sorry, I cut it short. Forgot to mention that I think Detroit loses the first game which would send Dallas to Philthy.
