Last night was a perfect reason why I'd rather play the Cowboys than the Giants. When the Giants are clicking, they are unstoppable. Same goes for the Cards.
Not quite Double J. Green Bay also has to win against Seattle tomorrow along with the above for New York to be eliminated after Week 16.
greenbay is going to come out and play like steeltown and the cowboys did last week. this is their pre-february game. if this game is close or the packers lose then i'm thinking right away this game is alll on the coaches....
I can't imagine the Packers losing to the Seahawks in Lambeau either even though it would be sweet if they did, lol.

If the Cowboys loose tonight, we can play a relaxed game vs the Cardinals next week, only to met the a 2nd time a week later
yep, most of the scenarios play out to have the cowboys-eagles play in back-to-back weeks AND the packers-cardinals to play in back-to-back weeks ...........................

We know the 6 teams, but 5 of them could grab a first-round bye. It's pretty messy in the NFC right now.
i just don't know whats the gameplan for playing back to back teams with the first game NOT really counting.... the 2 seed is up for grabs if vikes lose tonight....

For the #2 seed and a First Round bye: Minnesota can clinch a first-round bye with: a win (vs. N.Y. Giants) and a Philadelphia loss or tie (vs. Dallas) OR a tie and a Philadelphia loss Philadelphia can clinch a first-round bye with: a win OR a tie and a Minnesota loss or tie Dallas can clinch a first-round bye with: a win and a Minnesota loss (vs. N.Y. Giants) and an Arizona loss or tie (vs. Green Bay) Arizona can clinch a first-round bye with: a win (vs. Green Bay) and a Minnesota loss (vs. N.Y. Giants) and a Philadelphia loss (vs. Dallas)
so pretty much the cowboys still dont have a great shot at the 2 seed but if the eagles win there the 2 seed
Now its our turn to play the spoiler role this week against Minnesota. That game starts at 1:00 EST. The Eagles-Cowboys game is at 4:15 EST along with the Packers-Cardinals matchup. Could be some scoreboard watching in both those contests unless Dallas and Arizona opt to not show those respective scores.
