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.
