I’ll update the live playoff odds throughout the game—considering the status of both Eagles and Cowboys games—using a complicated mathematical process known as multiplication.
Feel free to hang out with me here, or on Twitter, or not at all. Go Cowboys.
It's not over yet, but I wanted to take a minute to thank y'all for hanging out with me here. This was a lot of fun, and something I'll want to try again next time the Cowboys have a game. (There's a 4% chance it will be next week!)
So if I understand this correctly, it's basically just a chat room. Any of you can comment and the rest of us can see it. And I'll be posting playoff% updates throughout the game.
Huge sack on Carson Wentz stifles what was becoming a concerning drive in the Eagles game. They had advanced the ball to the Giants 43 before the 10-yard loss.
Let's talk about the Eagles game for a second. If the Eagles beat the Giants, the Cowboys have no shot of making the playoffs. FPI sees the Eagles as 70% favorites, meaning the WAS-DAL result only matters for that remaining 30% window of probability. Dallas is a 91% favorite in its own game, so that brings their playoff odds to 26%. In *most* scenarios where the Eagles lose today, the Cowboys win the NFC East.
I know this makes me a bad fan, but I’m torn between wanting to make the playoffs and also wanting Jerry to learn a painful lesson. I guess I’ll take the playoffs.
EPA boxscore highlights: Dak at -0.3 on dropbacks, but 1.7 on rushes, probably because of the sacks. Zeke at 1.8, Coop at 5.5 (1.37/play!), Cobb at 4.1

50-50!
What a bizarre season this was. A team with +110 point differential has almost never (maybe actually never?) gone 8-8.
Yep. That's it. Cowboys playoff odds are down below 0.1% after the latest Eagles touchdown.
Cowboys playoff odds back up to 36% thanks to honorary Cowboy Golden Tate!
The Cowboys pulled off a great touchdown drive and the Eagles just allowed a game-tying field goal.
The Cowboys playoff odds are back to their highest of the day: 35%

That Daniel Jones fumble is devastating.
This next Giants drive will be very consequential. Eagles currently at 67% odds to win and end the Cowboys season.
44% y'all
Posted this below, but we're back to 38% playoff odds after the 68-yard Saquon run. We're back in it!
Cowboys playoff odds: 38% after the Eagles punt
It happened. An Eagles touchdown brings the Cowboys playoff odds down to 1 in 5. Save us Danny Dimes
I live in constant fear of the Eagles scoring a touchdown. They're about to start another drive just behind the midfield line.
Cowboys playoff odds: 22%

Two big events just improved the picture for the Cowboys: Eagles fail to convert on 4th and 7, and Cowboys get a turnover courtesy of Jaylon Smith.
Cowboys playoff odds: 34% (!)

Dak loves stiff arming Washington.
Golden Tate is forgiven for all of
His past travesties.
Gmen driving...
ooooook so apparently dak can throw downfield today (so why haven't we been doing that?)
NFC East doing the NFL proud in both games sheesh

Cobb with the $250,000 catch!
SAQUON!
SAQOUN. MATTERS.
COME ON DANIEL
Cmon Daniel.
have to re sign Quinn
Hello Daniel
The Cowboys defense getting turnovers? The apocalypse is here!
Which only means one thing: Cowboys will be NFC East champs!
Just assumed that holding was on Tyron even tho he’s inactive.
If we want to win get out to a fast start make Philly start looking at the scores
Cowboys-Seahawks first round playoffs in the establish the run game of the century
Who’s ready for 15 first down Zeke runs today?
Can’t wait to watch this team accidentally fall backwards into the playoffs today.
EPA boxscore highlights: Dak at -0.3 on dropbacks, but 1.7 on rushes, probably because of the sacks. Zeke at 1.8, Coop at 5.5 (1.37/play!), Cobb at 4.1
If I was Shepard I’d sue Daniel for emotional distress after this game.
It’s happening!
Eagles punt!
How are we feeling, fellow nerds?
Should we resign cobb?
We have a tie game lads.
GIANTS BIG PLAY AND ROUGHING THE PASSER PENALTY
Remember when it was enjoyable to watch this offense?
It's a shame we aren't allowed to cover their TE. Seems like it gives them an unfair advantage, but rules are rules.
Giants offense makes me sad, Jones just underthrew shepard with a throw that could’ve put them in FG range.
are we still not sure on Daks shoulder , looking from the play calling?
Please do this next season too
