Meaningless wins? Playoff Tie-Breakers do matter!

Some on this board are mentioning the Cowboys haven’t beaten any team with a winning record, that these wins are meaningless. The Cowboys will have more opportunities to beat a winning team down the stretch, but these wins are far from meaningless if they finished tied in the division, inside the conference or even a three way tie:

-Divisional Records are extremely important. Yes, Eagles have a 2 game lead in the loss column, but only 1 game better in the division. If Dallas beats Seattle and the Eagles lose to either the Bills or 49ers, the Cowboys can tie the Eagles if they win the next head to head matchup. Very possible scenario.

Next Divisional game are:

Common Games (they lost to the Jets and probably will beat the Cardinals) We still have to play Miami

Conference Record (This is where the Cardinal loss could come back to haunt us)

"Strength of Victory"-this is where killing those bad teams come into play

These all come into play outside the division as well.

Yes, probably looking at a #5 see again, but it is possible that strength of victory tie breaker could come into play.

Each win is important, no matter the opponent.
