Gain Ground From The Comfort of Your Own Home

November 9, 2008

The Giants victory over the Eagles last night jumped the Cowboys over Philly and into third place, as Dallas has beaten Philly and has a better division record.  The Eagles are winless in their first tour of the East.

That ups the stakes in next week’s visit to FedEx Field.  A win in the Redskins rematch puts Dallas into a 2nd place tie with Washington.

Onward.

Bye-Week Game Thread

November 9, 2008

OK, the important game is obviously Giants @ Eagles. There are huge implications in the outcome of this game as it pertains to the Cowboys.

The Giants win and they take a stranglehold on the division, having beaten all division opponents once. It would put them 2 games up on the Redskins and 3 games up on the Cowboys and Eagles.

Philadelphia wins and it puts the Cowboys 2 games behind the Giants and one against the Eagles and Redskins, who will host Dallas next week after also having a bye.

I’m torn on this. If I look at it from a standpoint of winning the division, I have to root for the Eagles, as it closes the gap in the division and Dallas has already beaten the Eagles once. If I root for the [gulp] Giants, a win puts the Eagles in last place by way of tiebreaker since Dallas beat them earlier.

Maybe I’ll pull for a tie… Who you got?
