Media here in DFW saying that the Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will undergo season ending surgery for his hamstring injury. They were originally going to put him on 4 game IR….but seem to be leaning towards season ending surgery. ESPN also reporting as well. Report not confirmed yet…but…lots of local chatter etc.
I’ve seen that report as well on profootballtalk.com

Still not much respect with the national pundits. I heard Ryan Leaf say the NFC is Detroit-only this morning. I wonder if a win Thursday changes that?

They have Washington twice then Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Statement games remain.
Now that SF is getting healthy, I would give them an edge over the Eagles right now. Their odds probably aren't better because they are less likely to get a bye with their 5-4 record. The Eagles have been progressively getting better though, so let's see how this looks in another few weeks.

I was a bit surprised to see the Eagles at #1 for yards allowed per game. The defense has really turned it around and continues to get better. They are 2nd to Denver in yards per play allowed.

I think some have mentioned that, I dont remember if it was Leaf or some other show, but they looking at teams Achilles heals. This guy said the Eagles wont make it , as coach Nick is their Achilles heal.

People are still in love with the 2023 Niners. They lost their best WR. Their OL is a mess outside of LT. Deebo is beat up. The D hasn’t been nearly as good this year.

They’re a good team but nowhere near what they were last year.

We'll see. I wouldn't judge them on their record. They've been banged up but are getting healthier. The outgained a pretty competent TB team yesterday 413-215 and 6.8ypp to 3.7ypp. That's impressive against just about any NFL team. DVOA has them as the #5 team in the NFL.

Good team, but they’re 6-4. Good luck if Purdy has to keep slinging it like he has. Maybe that changes with CMC back.

CMC is a big part of it. Pretty sure their past record with and without him is quite different.
In two of SFs losses (KC, Rams), they essentially outgained the other team. In the KC game, KC actually had 19 more total yards, but SF was 5.5 to 4.8 ypp (more significant imo). And this was without CMC. Ignore the record.
