FRISCO (105.3 THE FAN) - The NFL has applied The Big Calculator and now we have a trio of good "if's'' for this Dallas Cowboys weekend.

Dallas already clinched a playoff berth thanks to last week's results, including the Cowboys' vault to 11-1.

Now comes more:

Level 1: If the Cowboys win Sunday night at the Giants, they win the NFC East.

Level 2: If the Cowboys beat the Giants and EITHER the Lions lose/tie to the Bears OR the Seahawks lose to the Packers, Dallas secures a first-round bye.

Level 3: If all three results go Dallas' way — that is, the Cowboys beat New York AND the Lions don't win AND the Seahawks lose, Dallas will have the division title, the first-round bye AND will clinch home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.
