The Cardinals are collapsing and I am sure the Lions will as well.

Detroit should win 3 out of their last 4 (Minnesota, Chicago, Tampa), that gets them to 11 wins, and with it 9-3 in the conference. At 11-5, the best the Cowboys could be in the conference is 8-4.

Their best hope has to be an Arizona collapse.

Should is the operative word. Pittsburgh should have beaten the Bucs; the Giants should have beaten the Jacksonville Maine Coons.

Zona has tiebreaker over DALL due to head to head.

DAL gotta hope for 2-way tie with SEA at 11-5 or 10-6.
not the 3-way tie, DAL-SEA-DET

According to playoff.com Dallas chances increase of getting into the playoffs with a Philly win.

I do not see playoff.com only playoffstatus.com
link for playoff.com?

I find no site that uses a Monte Carlo method to determine odds. THis method calculate the odds of Team A winning each game ... i.e. Cowboys chance of beating NYG might be 62%. They use that, rather than the coin flip method which assumes 50/50 for each game.

obviously, Philly loss increases odds of DIVISION, but wildcard chance is better with SEA loss. I can see that a SEA loss is better, but does not consider playoff seeding & homefield.

I just finished watching “A Football Life” featuring Roger Staubach on the NFL Network.

I never heard about Clint Longley assaulting RS before. WTF? Longley’s a POS.

if CONF is tie, it goes next to COMMON

DAL vs GB, common:
PH NO SEA CHI are the common opponents
GB is 3-2
DAL is 3-1 with PH remaining.

If DAL loses to PHIL it also hurts their chance vs GB ... almost clinches tiebreaker for GB. GB has big lead in SOV over DAL.

MIA vs PITT, common games
BALT KC NYJ JAX are the common opponents
MIA 2-1 with 2 to play (BALT NYJ)
PIT 2-2 with 1 to play (KC)

MIA has an advantage there and looks a good bet over PITT.
PITT has a bit of an advantage in SOV, so MIA better beat BAL and, by doing so, get common over PITT

MIA did lose head to head vs KC, which is a problem for them.

Well, I was around when that happened in 1976 and wikipedia has a good account:

Unfortunately, less than two years after his Thanksgiving Day heroics, Longley, under pressure from Danny White for the back-up QB role, left the Cowboys in disgrace after he landed a blindside punch on Staubach during training camp in Thousand Oaks, California.[6] The infamous “sucker punch” occurred after Longley and Staubach had fought over a negative remark Longley made about Staubach to fellow Cowboy teammates. Staubach was putting on his shoulder pads on the last day of training camp when Longley hit him in the face without warning and from behind, requiring several stitches to close the wound on Staubach’s face. Longley was immediately traded to the San Diego Chargers[6] where he finished his career with little more success.

Apparently, there is more to the story. “History says Staubach ripped Longley for mouthing off about teammates, but Gil Brandt said the tiff between Staubach and Longley began with a simple game of boredom.

‘Roger always could bounce the football off the ground to come right back to him,’ Brandt said. ‘He'd do it over and over. They'd have contests, and Clint couldn't do it.

‘Longley challenged Roger to a fight. Roger told him they were going to meet on another field after practice.’

Staubach and Longley took off their helmets and pads. ‘They got after it,’ Brandt said. ‘Roger beat the hell out of him.’

Assistant coach Dan Reeves had to break up the fight. Later, Longley sucker-punched Staubach in the dressing room.

‘Tex (Schramm) had enough,’ Brandt said. ‘He told me to get rid of Longley immediately, so we traded him to San Diego for a first-round pick we used to help us get (running back) Tony Dorsett in the next draft.’”

So, now... you know--

I watched it too! Staubach’s the man. The Butkis/Sayers one that came on after was good also. Impy would have liked it ...even though they never made the playoffs ... (-;
