Things are turning up for Uncle, even if the Vikings sit at .500

I'm +$280 going into week 14 on pool play I'm in for 1/2 and 1/4 on SB $500 squares, so need to turn a few more quarters to be playing with house money in February.

Somebody mentioned Dobbie catching passes?? He'd get broken unless you start feeding him sammiches now.

The Cowboys have scored the most point most of these teams have given up, and given them their biggest blowouts of the season. The Eagles for example won their 2 games vs the Commanders by a combined 10 points.

the rest of the season though will be the real test. If Dak continues to play great, efficient football, there is no doubt he will be the MVP. Hes currently leading the league in the least amount of turnover worthy plays, big time throws, top 5 in Depth of target, #2 in EPA (behind brock), and is top 5 in basically every efficiency metric. All while missing basically a full game of snaps by sitting out the 4th in a lot of these games.

Has games remaining (Rankings per PFF)
vs Eagles - #10 Defense #4 pass rush #27 in coverage
vs Bills - #6 Defense #13 pass rush #4 in coverage
vs Phins - #3 Defense #4 pass rush #5 in coverage
vs Lions - #13 Defense #14 pass rush #26 in coverage
vs Commies - #26 Defense #23 pass rush #23 in coverage

4 top defenses that can get to the QB and cause issues.

It should be a very interesting end to the season. The 49ers look to have the easiest next 5 games, but the Eagles end with what should be 3 lay ups (any given sunday...), so while Sunday is important it really doesn't drastically change the Cowboys chances at the division or 1 seed - unless they lose, then those dreams are pretty much dead.

I think the 1st seed and the bye week will determine who is the NFC rep for the superbowl. I can't see giving the Whiners, Girls or Eagles an extra week off and home field advantage and any of them losing after.

if cowboys win sunday, it basically locks up the 9ers as the #1 seed.

I could see 9ers eagles and Cowboys all finishing 13-4. 9ers have the h2h tie breaker over both. Eagles and Cowboys will come down to who the eagles lose to and who the cowboys lose to. If Cowboys lose to lions and Eagles lose to an NFC team, Cowboys hold the tie breaker. If Cowboys lose to Phins or Bills, they would need the eagles to lose to an NFCE team.

So while its not a win and your division winner, it is a big game as it sets you up for a potential division title for the Cowboys. And if Eagles win, it basically guarantees them the division.
