It's never too early to talk about the playoffs - even if some eager beaver is already frantically searching for the Jim Mora Playoffs? Playoffs?" gif to offer a never-before-seen and totally original rebuttal to this playoff talk.

Don't be that guy.

If you read our playoff tracker from last week, you'll know that the historical playoff rate for 1-1 teams is 43%.

But that's just one way to look at the playoff picture.

ESPN for example uses their Football Power Index to calculate their playoff picture, and they have the Cowboys with a 57% chance of making the playoffs.

Kalshi has the Cowboys' playoff chances slightly lower at 50% right now.

NFL.com on the other hand lists the Cowboys playoff probability at a much more moderate 40%.

So there you have it: playoff probabilities between 40% and 57%, which feels pretty much like where a 1-1 team should be.

At this moment in time, do you believe that the Cowboys will make the playoffs or not? Let us know your answer and reasoning in the comments.
