"There are seven weeks left in the 2025 regular season. Whether you're rooting for Dallas to extend its year into the playoffs or for a higher 2026 draft pick, we've got you covered in the Cowboys fans' Week 12 rooting guide. While we wish that Dallas had more games left to turn their season around, the shortening road to Week 18 does help us make better analysis of the eventual standings. As variables diminish, projections get more accurate. So the closer we get to the regular-season finales, we'll be able to dig even deeper into the potential impact of each game."
"Anyone who feels this is too tall an order for the Cowboys is not being unfair. They're three wins behind the seventh-seeded 49ers and have two teams in front of them. One of those, Carolina, does have a head-to-head tiebreaker. However, that likely won't matter, as the tie in Dallas' overall record would render it irrelevant. If the Cowboys can at least have the same number of wins as the Panthers at the end of the year, they'd have a slightly higher winning percentage (thanks to the tie) and thus move above them in the standings."
Dallas enters Week 12 with seven regular-season games remaining and a 4-5-1 record, placing 10th in the NFC standings. The Cowboys trail the seventh-seeded 49ers by three wins and must overtake multiple teams to earn a wild-card berth. Carolina holds a head-to-head tiebreaker, but Dallas's tied game could give it a higher winning percentage if total wins match. Increased division play in the NFC North and NFC West creates more opportunities for rivals to lose games, which could improve Dallas's playoff chances as remaining variables shrink and projections grow more accurate.
