Giants winning one against Philly is the most realistic path to winning the division

[Shannon1]

Smh. You missed the entire point of the op.

Seattle beating them is realistic. In fact, if Geno Smith is healthy, id bet on them to win that game.

The unrealistic part of us winning the division in your scenario is us running the table. Playing @ Buffalo and Miami in b2b weeks is brutal. We will
lose one of those games, thus needing either the Giants beating Philly or Philly losing to both the Hawks and Cards.

No we would have 4 losses them too we both will have 3 conference losses then it gets into points

No, it's gets to strength of victories after conference record.

 

[Verdict]

Outside of a complete collapse from Philly, the division is lost.

That damn Arizona game of ours, and the failure of KC and Buffalo to finish games against the Eagles, made that pretty much a done deal.

It looks like a repeat of last year for Dallas.

At Tampa (or Atlanta) for an easy one, then off to San Francisco.

Actually, the odds of Eagles winning all 4 is low. Unfortunately the odds of Dallas winning all 4 is also low.

The Eagles are not playing very well.and Dallas is playing its best football of the season.

Yep, the best chance is for them to drop one against the Giants, and we only lose one other than to Washington.

I which strength of victories was how much you win by. But I think it is basically strength of schedule for victories.

Can't do it by scores.

Games aren't the same when Dallas plays a team versus when Philly does. Home field, injury situations, weather conditions, point of the season, etc.

Yes it is a big deal. Had we lost yesterday, the division race would be all but over and we would be trying to hold on to the 5th seed

5th seed been over for over a month. And yes, the divisional race is still alive. Whopping 25% chance. Big whoop

 

[maryquality]

The giants are horrible!! I don't see them "realistically" beating the egals. However, I would love it if they proved me wrong!! But come on....do you actually think it could happen?

No but that is a bigger possibility than us winning out.

The Eagles did lose to a horrible Jets team in metlife earlier in the season and you know the Giants would love to play spoiler

 

[Davidlee1973]

Them losing to one of the 4 AFC teams doesn't give us the tiebreaker. The first tiebreaker after divisional record is common games and yes, while they lost to the Jets, we cancelled that out by losing to the Cards.

Here are the common games:

Bills
Dolphins
Cards
Seattle
Jets
Rams
Patriots
San Fran

Cowboys are currently 4-2 (49ers, Cards) in common games, Eagles are 4-2 (49ers, Jets). If we lose one of the Buffalo or Miami games and Philly beats the Cards and Seahawks, we lose first tiebreaker after head to head and divisional record. In that scenario, we'd need the Giants to win a game to give us the divisional tiebreaker.

And they don't play the Lions, they play the Cards.

No Dallas lost to Philly. That also counts as a conference loss.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

As it stands, we are leading the division due to having more divisional wins, but still only have a 25% chance to win the East.

After h2h record, philly owns all of the tie-breakers and they have a way easier schedule than we do. Ima go on the record and say winning out wont happen. This team isnt the same on the road and it will be tough to deal with Miami’s speed.

Now if the Giants can somehow win a game against Philly, we will be afforded the ability to drop one of these upcoming games (sans the Commanders) and still win the East.

Now the big question is, can the Giants beat them?

I think Seattle beating them would do the same. wouldn't it?

 

[BoyzBlaster]

At this point I fully expect the Giants to split with the Eagles. Eagles are really flailing and the Giants are not as bad right now as they were early in the season. That being said, I still think the birds win the division.

 

[nyc-cowboy]

The Jets have a horrible offense but they have a top 3-4 D, what do the giants have?

Eagles own the giants even when they are good, but now...giants dont stand a chance unfortunately.

 

[Sydla]

No Dallas lost to Philly. That also counts as a conference loss.

Huh? I didnt list conference wins/losses. I listed common games outside of divisional games.

 

[Sydla]

I think Seattle beating them would do the same. wouldn't it?

As long as we won out, or only lost to Detroit, sure it would do it. Because if they lose to Seattle, yes, we have the edge in common games but if we lose to Buffalo or Miami, then we lose the advantage in that tiebreaker.

If the Giants win tonight they are one game out of the final playoff spot in the NFC.

 

[visionary]

they are reeling and can lose to Seattle in Seattle if Geno plays

The biggest issue is that defense. If Geno plays and is "on" with Metcalf and Lockett and Smith-Njigba, as long as the OL doesn't get smoked, they can probably move the ball.

Cool story bro

Hahahaha. I can’t believe you stole my line and used it against me.
