Gotta go 6-2. Problem is that the games we'll have a tough time with are Indy, @NYG, New Orleans, Philly and @Atlanta. If they can manage to go 3-2 and not screw up the other games (Zona, Detroit, and Tampa) they'll probably make the playoffs.
I think our main competition for the playoffs is Philly, Minnesota, Carolina, Atlanta, and either the Seahawks or the Rams.
Ever since they've gone to 8 divisions, I don't think any division has had 3 teams go to the playoffs in one season. So either Carolina or Atlanta should be cancelled out. I don't think the Rams and the Seahawks will both have a good enough record to be a wildcard, so only 1 team will probably make it from the NFC West.
That leaves us down to Philly and Minny. While Dallas has their fair share of issues, I think they are in better shape than Minnesota. Philly will probably win their next two games, going 6-4 with Dallas probably beating Zona and then finding a way to lose to Indy, putting Dallas one game back 2 weeks from now. Then Philly hits a pretty brutal stretch of games.
Washington has an outside shot of making it as well. But they are still 3-5 and now they play Philly at Philly with the Eagles coming off a bye week. Reid has only lost once coming off a bye week (the Super Bowl game). That would put the Skins at 3-6 and probably having to win 7 in a row to make the playoffs.
