Harvard students' study: Giants have better chance to make playoffs than Cowboys

To win an Ivy League title, former Princeton quarterback Jason Garrett had to get past Harvard. To win an NFL title, the Dallas Cowboys head coach will have to get past a Harvard students’ study that doesn’t give his team much of a chance.

In a report by Kurt Bullard of the Harvard Sports Analysis Collective, the Dallas Cowboys have a 23% chance of making the playoffs, which ranks third in the NFC East behind the Giants (42%) and the Eagles (35%). Last season the Giants finished 6-10, six wins behind the East champion Cowboys, who were 12-4.
