Cowboys hover around .500; a win over the Cardinals is essentially required to sustain realistic playoff hopes rather than chasing a higher 2026 draft pick.
This most consistent thing about this Falcons team is that you can count on them to always be inconsistent. Following one of the most impressive wins you can get on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, their mistake-riddled performance against the completely banged up San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football saw them drop a highly winnable game.

The Cowboys would be in last place in that scenario.
Before the 2025 season began, there was tremendous optimism surrounding the Patriots and their chances of achieving a much-improved season compared to what we've seen over the last few years.
