NFC East

Dallas Cowboys 5-4

Dallas blew a winnable game against Minnesota, but that’s what the Cowboys have been doing all year. Blowing winnable games. Now they are in a tight race with the Eagles. They could shoot for a wild card if they slip up in the NFC East, but the Vikings now have the tiebreaker and it will be difficult to catch the loser of the NFC West race between the Seahawks and Niners. The Eagles game in Week 16 could decide the division.

Remaining Games: @Lions, @Patriots, Bills, @Bears, Rams, @Eagles, Redskins

Philadelphia Eagles 5-4

The Eagles need to split their next two games at worse. If they don’t all isn’t lost though. Their schedule is pretty easy after Week 12. Those NFC matchups outside of the Cowboys game are cakewalks. Their record looks like 10-6 at the worst.

Remaining Games: Patriots, Seahawks, @Dolphins, Giants, @Redskins, Cowboys, @Giants
