With NFC East all but locked up, here’s who Cowboys will most likely host in Wild Card
The Cowboys are almost certainly going to win the NFC East.
Quarerback Dak Prescott, wide receiver Amari Cooper and a stout defense helped produce a 29-23 overtime victory over the Philadelpha Eagles at AT&T Stadium on Sunday
You can find all the possible permutations of Dallas winning the division here.
On Sunday night, the Chicago Bears (9-4) notched a quasi-upset of the Rams on Sunday night. Chicago will likely be the No. 3 seed in the NFC.
The New Orleans Saints will likely be the top seed and the Rams will likely be the No. 2 seed.
So, which team will the Cowboys host as the No. 4 seed in the NFL playoffs?
Here is fivethirtyeight.com’s latest NFL playoff projection for each team:
- Seattle: 94 percent
- Minnesota: 70 percent
- Philadelphia: 18 percent
- Washington: 9 percent
The Vikings are currently 6-5-1 and will travel to Seattle for a tough road game against the 7-5 Seahawks on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”
As of now, and especially if they win on Monday night, the Seahawks will likely be the eventual No. 5 seed in the NFC.
Which means the Cowboys would host the Pete Carroll and company on Wild Card weekend.
The two teams last played on Sept. 23 in Seattle. The Seahawks prevailed in that one, 24-13.
