With the #6 seed NY Giants victory over Minnesota, the Gmen are now guaranteed to go to Philly for the Divisional playoff round.

Assuming we beat the lowly 8-9 Bucs, and can take care of business avenging our loss at SF in the next round... a NYG victory over Philly would have us HOSTING the NFC Championship with the Gmen coming to Dallas.

Definitely NOT out of the realm of possibility :)

I would give it an 80-85% likelihood
Lol. We haven’t won a road playoff game in 30 yrs nor have we won a Div playoff game in 26 years so uh, yeah your prediction is possible but highly unlikely.

We WILL beat the Bucs, And the Niners are NOT invincible by any means (just ask the Chiefs, Broncos, Falcons and the lowly Bears for Pete's sake). The Niners late season win streak is not that impressive if you really analyze it...

And if anyone can beat Philly, the Gmen can.
Simple as that.

I consider myself a very optimistic person, but beating San Francisco is not a bet I'd be willing to make.
I think the Niners are playing the best football in the NFC right now but I think if we play up to our potential on all 3 facets of the game we are the most talented team in the NFC. The only thing we live up to that potential.

I'm sorry, you think there's an 80% chance of Dallas beating Tampa AND Dallas beating the Niners AND the Giants beating the Eagles? That implies about a 93% chance of each of them happening. In reality, only the first one might be over 50%, and odds of all three happening have got to be less than 10%.

Lol you seem to have forgotten about tom Brady and not to mention the niners will be heavily favored
No, I was counting on Tom Brady... have you seen him play this year?

And heavily favored means squat... (I think we will be within 3 pts in any event)

I beg to differ... let's revisit after next weekend :starspin:

That was worst possible outcome. Beating niners in 2nd round isn’t happening.

I mean, there's a decent chance we beat the Bucs. Maybe a 30% chance we beat the Niners. And a decent chance the Eagles lose.

So.....maybe a 15% chance of us hosting the Giants in the NFC title game?
50% chance we beat bucs. Then 30% chance we beat niners.

Lol slow down. They should beat the lowly Bucs but even that’s not guaranteed with this team. After that it would be an upset to beat the 49ers and the Giants would be an upset over the Eagles. Those aren’t 80-85% odds for two upsets more like 25-30%
