Giants @ Cowboys
I NEVER EVER pull for Dallas. It's forbidden in Dallas if you're not a cowgirls fan.
I want Dallas to beat the Giants because it'll pretty much close the book on NY's season. When we get to them, hopefully they'll be much like Hotlanta was yesterday - just waiting for someone to nail the coffin shut.
As for Dallas, our chances of getting a first round bye rests primarily on the Dallas game on 12/10, and here's why:
Should we beat Dallas, and lose another game before the end of the year, and should the Cowboys run the table after losing to us, we still get the 2nd seed because we beat Dallas in the head-to-head.
Of course, Seattle would also have to finish at 11-5 (with Den, Chargers, & Frisco still on their schedule - that's likley)...
With all three teams being 11-5, we're the second seed and get home playoff game, PLUS first round bye. We'd still have a better conference record than Seattle:
6-2 vs. 5-3. = 1st tie breaker for conference teams when there is no head-to-head.
