Dallas Cowboys vs Indianapolis Colts

Let’s start here, where Eagles fans will be wearing Colts hats and watching through hands over their eyes. This is almost their only hope, as if the Cowboys lose, the Eagles can still get the division title if Washington beats the Cowboys.

That only matters if the Colts win this game first.

Meanwhile the Colts can’t move up a slot as even if the Patriots and Broncos lose the next two games, both teams have beaten the Colts this year, trapping them in the third seed at best.

They could move down if they lose the next two games though and the Bengals win out. Do we see that happening? Probably not, since nobody expects the Colts to lose to the Titans. Then again, nobody much expected Philly to lose on Saturday, so you never know. The Colts had best take care of business.
