“Dallas could get a bye in the first round, depending on how things play out in the Sunday night game between Seattle and Arizona. A Cardinals win locks Dallas into the third seed, unless next week’s game between the Packers and Lions ends in a tie. If Seattle wins Sunday night, Dallas’ hopes for a bye rest with a win over Washington and losses from both Arizona and Seattle in Week 17, or a tie between Green Bay and Detroit.”
Exactly. I still give Romo and DeMarco the week off even if Seattle wins tonight.
Cowboys can win on the road anyway.
that blog is wrong.
-If SEA or AZ wins, it does not matter what DALLAS does ... DALLAS is #3.
-if SEA and AZ both lose, it does not matter what DALLAS does ... DALLAS is #2.
Cowboys’ seed is determined by SEA and AZ games, not DAL game. Their game is meaningless.
(All of that assumes DET vs. GB game does not end in a tie.)
