NFL Playoff Projection: Cowboys-Eagles will likely determine NFC's sixth playoff team

Five NFC playoff spots are practically locked up with two games to go, though there’s a lot of jostling left for byes and division titles.

We will get our likely answer on the sixth playoff team Sunday afternoon.

The Dallas Cowboys travel to the Philadelphia Eagles for what amounts to the NFC East championship game between two 7-7 teams on Sunday. If the Cowboys win, they clinch the division. If the Eagles win they don’t clinch, but would only have to beat the 3-11 New York Giants in Week 17 (or get a Cowboys loss to the Washington Redskins in the final week) to win the NFC East.
