Dallas will play to win regardless

Question

A lot of talk about the Cowboys / Eagles game at 4pm being meaningless if the Giants win at 1pm.

Don't think so. A win gives Dallas a great 7-4 NFC record. That is better than all other wildcard hopefuls.

If Dallas wins and San Diego beats Detroit and New O beats Atlanta....then, all are 9-6. Dallas is 7-4 in NFC, Det is 6-5, Atlanta is 6-5.

i dont understand the game will mean something even if giants win, they play each other next week for the final game

Defensive Dog · Answer

Chicago is 7-7 playing Green Bay. Seattle is 7-7 playing San Fran. Arizona is 7-7 playing Cinn.

Atlanta plays on Monday, after Dallas. Detroit plays at 4pm, same time as Dallas.

Dallas plays to win.

Defensive Dog · Answer

It means something because, if they beat Phi, they can lose to the Giants next week and still have a shot at the wildcard.

Of course they would prefer to beat the Giants next week and win the division. But, you don't give up on the wildcard.

Detroit beat Dallas heads up so the tiebreaker between those two would go to Detroit....not a terrible thought with Atlanta though, although I dont see them losing hosting Tampa Bay the following week.

100% dallas plays to win here...Forget about all the playoff situations, just look at the two teams playing. Dallas and Phily, two teams that dont like each other. That is motivation enough especially how philly crushed dallas a while ago..

So does anyone really think Dallas relaxes against a division rival like the eagles? NO CHANCE!!

Right, Detroit has the advantage in a two-way tie. Not sure about a 3-way tie. If one of the 7-7 teams win out, a 3-way tie is possible. I'm guessing Dallas wins a 3-way tie with the best conf. record.

I doubt Atlanta will lose to TB next week, but you never know.

And yeah, Dallas will be fired up for some revenge against a divisonal opponent either way.

So, Dallas is playing to win. Looking forward to a great game.

if you think dallas is gonna win.Why did the books took the moneyline on the that particular game of the board?

I don&#39;t get the point of this thread. There is no situation where Dallas would not be motivated to beat the Eagles. Having said that, motivation is not enough in this game bc the cowboys are simply out classed. Eagles win in another blowout...

They better play to win after the way they were embarrased earlier in the year. I don&#x27;t think Felix is going to play though so it could be tough.
