But if they do win the division, Tampa is our main competition for the WC right now and we also own the tie breaker over them.

No kidding, but again there's no reason to root for a competitor to win. Carolina winning this game and the division will not help us get to the WC. Only Carolina losing will help us get to the WC.

How do you figure that? If TB win the division then we have to compete with Carolina. That favors your remark.

But if they lose they still can take the division by beating TB next week. So it's complicated.

In virtually no scenario does Carolina winning help us.

I'm rooting for Tampa cause they're going to likely get in as division champs anyway and I'm going for Greenbay over the Panther simply cause we hold a head to head tiebreaker over the Packers.

but dont we also own a tiebreaker over TB since we beat them?

Maybe the Packers will win. I hope so, not only because it'll help the Cowboys, but I can't stand the Panthers.

You may have already explained but I believe a Packer victory over Carolina would give us a tie breaker over Carolina because we beat GB.

Correct?

The first tiebreaker other than head to head would be conference record (we have a better conference record if they lose). Then then it goes to common opponents. If they lose against Green Bay it helps us there. They also play against Tampa next week and New York in a few weeks, so there's a very good chance we'll have a better record among common opponents.

Is the Chargers and Falcons game a late afternoon game?

Dang that seems like a flaw in the system.

I think head to head opponents should come before conference record.

It's gonna suck if GB wins their division and we have to go there for a WC game.
