I messed around with it and picked with clear conscience.
I do think we win out.
Green Bay got in.

Is anyone else in the mindset of not counting our chickens...... We still need to win a game. Not afraid by any means but Colts, Bucs, Giants are not lay ups.
After playing with the Playoff Simulator, it appears the only way we can get in as the #3 seed is to win out and the Bears lose 2 of their last 3. If the Bears finish 11-5 and we do as well, they own the tie-breaker.
It's slightly possible, as they travel to Green Bay this week and face the Vikings in Minnesota where the Vikings will most likely be fighting for their play off lives in that game.
More than likely, I see us as the #4 seed facing the Seahawks in the Wild Card Round.
I don't think so because if they used games already played then Chicago would win a tie breaker on conference record. That only becomes a tie if the Bears lose one more game. Maybe since they can't compute strength of victory after 3 weeks of play where I did not input anything else is the reason for the mess up? I'm going to try and fill in the other games and see what happens.
Nope it didn't work. I guess the model just can't go as far as strength of victory. That's my guess.
...then we get Sea @ home. Not bad. Better than @ Sea.
...always a first my friend.. ..Last 2 times playing them at home has not churned out a win yet for us.
I'm talking about the formula strictly for common opponents it's possible that is what is flawed.
They never get to SoV because the tiebreaker used was common opponents. But they can do SoV because other scenarios show SoV as the tiebreaker. For the Bears/Cowboys, they plainly state that the Bears win tiebreak because of common opponents,.
Like we lose our remaining 3 games. (bite my tongue) That opens up a lot of doors for other teams to move in.
We are gonna play the Seahawks in Dallas in the first round.
Unless something crazy happens.
The cowboys could lose their last 3 games and still win the divison and be the 4 seed. Unless the Commanders or eagles win out. Which is very very very very unlikely.
The cowboys could realistically finish 11-5 or finish 8-8-8 and get the same playoff seed.
That’s why I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the cowboys are resting starters in week 17 and giving themselves their own “bye” week.
DAL goes 11-5 if you use win %
They go 9-7 if you use home team.
Either way they are a 4 seed and face SEA
off rank where DAL sucks still goes 4 seed and faces SEA at 8-8
Def rank makes it 11-5 DAL again 4 seed hosting SEA.
DAL is basically in beyond all but miracle status and it seems about 90% likely the face SEA.
I was thinking the Commanders are already out no matter what. Am I mistaken.

You really want this defense having to chase Russell around? Not to mention their other RBs can run the ball pretty well.

Honestly, we might be better off as the 4 seed regardless.[/QUO

Doesn’t matter. We’re gonna have to face the Saints/Rams sooner or later.Honestly, we might be better off as the 4 seed regardless.
