On what account have the Giants clinched the division?

[links18]

We win our next two and they lose their next two (very possible), we are both 11-5, split the head to head, with identical 4-2 division records and each with one loss to an AFC team. Would it be a better record against common opponents that gives the Giants the tie breaker (Arizona, Washington, St. Louis)?

Wow, if we hold on in that Steelers game, find a way to pull out the first Washington or Arizona games or just bother to show up in St. Louis, we could be playing for the division in Philly.

Common opponents sounds right.

I think it comes down to points after that.

They could lose out. They have Car and MN to play. Oh what could have been. Of course we still need to win out to insure a berth.
