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.
