PLAYOFF MACHINE fired up and spitting results

AFC

1 MIA
2 KC
3 BAL
4 JAX
5 CLE
6 IND
7 HOU

NFC

1 SF
2 PHI
3 DET
4 ATL
5 DAL
6 SEA
7 MIN

likely path would be home DAL, home PHI, neutral site MIA
McD vs Shanny; Hill vs SF in the SB again, oh the storylines
Who has Mia beaten? I don't think they make it that far. They are the cowboys/Detroit of the AFC

I feel like only KC, Cle, and Bal have the defenses to slow down their offense in the afc.

Miamis defense since getting back Ramsey ahs actually been very good

Yup they have pass rushers, coverage, and Lord Fangio. Plus with that O, they can match point for point on any given Sunday with pretty much anybody.

when you say anybody you mean below 500 teams

I'm sure they will.

if that happens, I'd like to see them have a bye week before the playoffs. So all teams get a little bit of time to heal and rest before the playoff tournament.

old format of 6 playoff teams with top 2 getting a bye was the best format though. It adds more meaning to the regular season having less teams and then fighting for the bye weeks.

We win, Dallas beats the Eagles. Just solved it for you. Then win out. #1 seed. I still would like Detroit to lose 1 more game somewhere to have some leeway. Dallas and Philadelphia too. But not this week as Dallas needs to beat the Eagles.

Our odds for the #1 seed are probably better if Dallas beats the Eagles, rather than rely on the Seahawks or Cardinals beating the Eagles.

But not gonna lie... A big part of me wants the Eagles to win, trust the Seahawks/Cardinals to upset them, just so I can see Skip Bayless have a meltdown.

Dallas has to beat them period. Last GOOD CHANCE left to beat the Eagles and they must lose. I want the #1 seed. Don't worry about Skip. LOL. Either us or the Eagles or maybe even the Lions will bounce his CRY_boys from the playoffs.

Dallas' shot for the #1 seed or NFC East is very very slim. Even if they beat Philly this week they still need another Philly loss to win the tiebreaker scenarios.

Dallas is almost certainly locked into the #5 seed with PHI/SF/DET battling it out for #1-2-3.

That's true.
And y'know, if the Cowboys win their division and the #2 seed, their hype train will be bigger... making their yearly bouncing that much sweeter.
I will delay that gratification and root for Dallas then, this week.

Would enjoy the reaction of Skip Bayless after that game.

Yes I agree. They will just get more hyped up and still lose.

Maybe more interested in AZ. For some reason they give us a hard time. One of those teams no matter their record.

We're getting the #1 seed but I'm still not sure I like that. It all but guarantees we play both Dallas and Philly again. I k ow we can handle it, but it's undoubtedly the most difficult road to Vegas.

Skipping a game is just worth it. Players get rest, and you have less a chance of injury or upset in that extra game. Our biggest obstacle to winning this season is health.
