- Record Against Common Opponents: Basically, whoever beat up on their shared foes more takes the crown. This one could go either way, depending on how the remaining games shake out.

The Potential Outcomes (and some lighthearted predictions)
Here's a glimpse into the future, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood sports analyst (with a healthy dose of sarcasm):
- Scenario 1: The "Chaos in the City of Brotherly Love" - The Eagles stumble against the Giants (twice!), throwing Philly into a full-blown meltdown. Meanwhile, the Cowboys waltz to victory, sparking a victory parade so big it blocks out the Texas sun.
- Scenario 2: "The Lone Star Shines Bright" - The Cowboys dominate, proving their earlier win over the Eagles wasn't a fluke. Jerry Jones celebrates by buying a solid gold yacht shaped like a star. America sighs collectively.
- Scenario 3: "The Rematch Nobody Wanted (But Secretly Craved)" - Both teams win out, forcing a winner-take-all rematch in the playoffs. Tailgate prices reach astronomical heights. The universe implodes from pure footballing intensity. (Okay, maybe not the last one, but you get the idea.)
No matter the outcome, one thing's for sure: This NFC East race is going to be epic!
