NFL  > Dallas Cowboys  > Can Dallas win the Division?
December 20, 2008, 02:08 PM
If Dallas wins its last two games and the Giants lose its last two games, them both teams will be 11-5 overall, tied at 4-2 in the division and tied at 8-4 in the NFC conference and tied at 3-1 against the AFC. Both teams split a division game but the Cowboys would be 7-1 at home while the Giants would be 6-2 at home.

Whats the tie breaker for the division title with all those stats being the same between both teams?

If Dallas wins today and Giants lose tomorrow, then the above scenario actually has a 50% of happening. I gots muh finga's krossed!!!

Lets see the outcome of this weekends games first. If Dallas does win and the Giants do lose (two very probable scenarios) then, again, the above has a real chance of becoming a reality.

How are the Chargers doing this year?

Dallas will finish 0-2.......does that answer your question

December 20, 2008  04:51 PM ET

well i dont see dallas beating the ravens but if they do they have a good chance to win,but they have to have some help from around the divsion also so good luck and keep youre fingers and toes crossed

People, it's IMPOSSIBLE for Dallas to win the division. The Giants clinched it two weeks ago. The best case scenario for Dallas would be to tie the Giants record but NY is already assured of the tie-breaker by having a better conference record no matter what happens from here on out.

December 20, 2008  05:16 PM ET

Excuse me, the Giants clinched not because of conference record, but because of record against common opponents...

December 20, 2008  06:07 PM ET

ah, ok. Even if the above did play out Giants would still clinch the division based on common opponents record. I just got excited for a moment when I saw the potential 'ties' that would happen if Dallas wins the last two and the Giants lose the last two.

Cowgirls suck !!

Right now, Romo is stinking like yesterday's garbage......if it wasn't for the defense, Dallas would be behind 9-0, instead of 9-7.

December 21, 2008  12:19 PM ET

Ha ha ha... yeah right

December 21, 2008  01:41 PM ET

Too little too late.

"No buwwets weft?"

"Hey, Laughing Boy! No buwwets weft!"

December 22, 2008  12:41 PM ET

Well we know the answer all ready....... Giants won and the 'boys lost.

December 22, 2008  01:20 PM ET

If Dallas won against Pittsburgh and Baltimore There would be a chance that with one game left the Cowboys could have taken it.

December 22, 2008  06:22 PM ET

Too bad for you Cowgirl fans, that he Jints won yesterday, that the girls lost and that the Jints will be the number 1 seed in the playoffs. Oh yeah and chances are the Eagles will beat the girls next week and you'll end up with a 9-7 record -- which won't even get you into the playoffs. Bye-bye...

December 22, 2008  06:41 PM ET

No, they can't. And, as a Falcon fan, let me just say:
