Cowboys coming off a big win over the Bucs, which sealed for them the NFC East title. The hated Giants coming off a meaningless loss from the Colts. This last game of the regular season has no bearing on either teams position as things stand. Thoughts?

Im not sure what the best way to approach this game is. Conventional wisdom is to rest your starters and not risk injury...but if the Cowboys lose this one they will go into the playoffs having dropped 2 of their last 3. I would rather see them go in on a winning streak. If I was Garrett think I would be all in on winning this one and take my chances on injuries.

If the Cowboys had a bye week the first week of the playoffs, I would 100% agree. 

But Smith and Martin on the offensive line need a week off. Elliott doesn’t need too many touches(he has had a bunch this year). If Dak plays, no read options and he must be told to hit the ground instead of busting tackles. 

The young linebackers play extremely hard - they need to play no more than half the snaps.

While I would rather see a 10-6 record, I don't see us progressing very far in the playoffs.  Since we don't have a first round draft choice this draft is only going to be low.  I say play the starters for a half, and then sit them.

I agree Zeke has the rushing title, unless Gurley rushes for 200+ yards.  He's got that in the bag even if he just plays a quarter.

not sure the best way to approach this one. you can say we are going to treat it like a meaningful game but the players know it has no meaning and their heart is not in it. love having the division wrapped up but would rather be scratching and clawing to get a playoff spot and go in on a roll. I'd say just try to get through it healthy. Seattle is going to be a handful but at least Dallas is at home. that will help some

It's not a 100% yet if Dallas will be playing Seattle. A win or a loss by the Vikings will lock Seahawks in at No. 5. But a loss, combined with a Vikings victory, would put the Seahawks at #No. 6. Cowboys would then be playing Minnesota instead.

yeah but I don't see Seattle losing at home to the Cards and Minn will have their hands full with Chicago. I would prefer Minn

Here’s another scenario. Seattle and Minn lose and Philly wins. Minn is out and Philly is in. Philly and Seattle will have the same record. Who wins the tie breaker?

Seattle would win with a better conference record.

AT&T might be "The Palace in Dallas" but it has not been much of a home field advantage. Idk what the Cowboys record is at home since JerryWorld opened but I bet it is not much over .500.
