My initial calculations look like a TB loss this week should be sufficient for DAL to clinch a playoff berth next week with a win . There may be other scenarios where DAL can clinch without a win depending upon how other games go , but that ' s too hard to predict a week in advance . I tend to wait until the Sunday afternoon games are over to really start calculating the next week ' s scenarios . The TB loss DAL win would allow DAL to clinch a wildcard . Due to the fact that NYG is only 2 games back with a headtohead victory over DAL already , it would be impossible for DAL to clinch the NFC East until week 14 at the earliest i . e . , the DALNYG game . <| sep |> L ' conomie est une science exacte qui n ' a qu ' une trs faible marge d ' erreur , et ce ne sont que quelques trillions des deniers publics qui vont compenser pour ses lgres bvues .
