The Cowboys have crawled to the top of the NFC East, and made another statement Thursday night with a surprising 13-10 win over the high-powered New Orleans Saints.
According to The New York Times’ playoff simulator, Dallas currently has a 63 percent chance to win the NFC East.
Heading into the weekend, the Cowboys stand alone at the top of the division while the New York Giants have a tough opponent on Sunday in the Chicago Bears, and the second-place Washington Redskins are set to face the third-place Philadelphia Eagles in a huge Monday night matchup.
