Dallas can clinch a playoff spot:

• a win and a Philadelphia loss or tie and a Chicago loss or tie and an Atlanta loss OR
• a win and a Philadelphia loss or tie and a Chicago loss or tie and a Tampa Bay loss OR
• a win and a Chicago loss or tie and a Tampa Bay loss and an Atlanta loss OR
• a win and a Philadelphia loss or tie and an Atlanta loss and Dallas clinches strength of victory tiebreaker over Chicago

I guess we know what we have to do... WIN!

Someone finally broke it down!! Thanks!!

:eagles: :bears: :falcons:

 

[AmericasTeam31]

From what I'm seeing everywhere, it seems that we can make it as the #5 seed, but not as the #6... We hold tiebreakers over both ATL and TB so we would be #5 no matter what in the event of a tie or a 3way tie.

 

[TheCount]

So we need to win? Good to know.

 

[AmericasTeam31]

Actually, if ATL, TB, and Chi lose one game, and we beat BAL but lose to PHI we are the 6th seed assuming PHI wins out. They would be the 5th seed.

Well actually its more than that. He's bringing up possible ways for us to clinch before the Eagles game. I've been wondering was it even possible that we could clinch this week. We'd need a lot of help. Looks like this could go down to week 17. Hopefully Falcons and Eagles can get L's this week.

I if Dallas wins we have a good chance at getting a spot this weekend. With Philly vs Wash, Chicago vs GB and Alt vs Minn

a win and a Philadelphia loss or tie and an Atlanta loss and Dallas clinches strength of victory tiebreaker over Chicago

Clinching the strength of victory tiebreaker over Chicago this weekend is a foregone conclusion (if we beat Baltimore). Out of nine specific games, we just need ONE of them to go our way to clinch it.

If by some miracle none of those games go our way, we would just need one out of 10 specific games to go our way in Week 17.

So a win plus a Philly and Atlanta loss get us in.

I'm fairly confident we get 3 out of those 4 this weekend and a win over Bal.

I could see Atlanta losing at Minnesota and Tampa losing to San Diego. San Diego is still alive and plays before Denver Sunday, and Tampa hasnt looked very good in either of the last two games.

I doubt Philly loses to Washington, also dont think Chicago loses at home to Green bay.

Question for Adam regarding one scenario I see as a strong possibility.

Assuming Dallas, Philly and Atlanta win in week 16.

Atlanta can eliminate Philly with a win in week 17 playing a 1:00pm game.

What are the chances our week 17 game against Philly is moved to 4:15 or 8:15pm?

 

[Romo2Dez4six]

So a win plus a Philly and Atlanta loss get us in.

basically yes

I'm pretty confident in the Falcons losing to Minny. The Vikings are trying to clinch the division and will be tough to beat at home.

As for Philly losing, it depends on the Commanders. If they are going to roll over and don't care anymore than the Eagles will win if they Skins have some pride then it will be tough for Philly to get out with a win.

 

[Hostile]

So, you're saying we need to win.

The only way the eagles would be eliminated before our game on week 17 is if both the bucs and falcons win their last two games.

I think the Dolphins-Jets game is the 8:15 Sunday Night game.

I think the Dolphins-Jets game is the 8:15 Sunday Night game.

I dont believe they have decided yet.
