Here are the details for Dallas to clench a spot.

• DALLAS can clinch a playoff berth with:
  1. DAL win + MIN loss or tie + GB loss or tie + SEA loss + TB loss or tie + DET win or tie + LAR loss or tie (as long as GB and MIN both don't tie)
  2. DAL win + MIN loss or tie + GB loss or tie + SEA loss + TB loss or tie + DET win or tie + NO loss or tie (as long as GB and MIN both don't tie)
  3. DAL win + MIN loss or tie + GB loss or tie + SEA loss + TB tie + DET win or tie (as long as GB and MIN both don't tie)

I'm hoping for a bunch of ties. Except us of course.

Lol. I don't think I can memorise this for Sunday afternoon.

mmm I thought all we needed was a win and a Rams loss/Seattle loss as that would mean neither could be ahead of us in wins and we have head to head on both

We have the head to head on those teams. However there is another set of tie breaker rules for 3 teams or more tied. Not just two teams tied.

Common games and conference games come into play. And eliminates teams to get back to the head to head games.

I know that much but I thought the first was division for the division teams to knock one out, Rams have that on Seattle, we have it on Rams

MM once said 10 wins is when you start thinking playoffs.........

Rock also has to beat scissors
It needs to be in ebb tide
Coyote has to catch the roadrunner
Jerry stays sober Sunday

If all these hit, we are golden

Yes to determine division winner. But for WC division wins are not in play.
Head to Head for two teams.
For 3 way tie or more, common games then conference.

That is what I been saying. Different rules between division winners and WC team.

My cheeks will be clenched watching this play out the next month.

But not too much, you don’t want to clean up an unnecessary mess.

Yeah, just win the game. All else will be much more clear next week. Maybe.

We already have a 99%+ chance of making the playoffs; I'm not gonna get too hung up on the complications of clinching. In fact if we lose out the odds of making the playoffs are still 85%!

 

[Praxit]

.its complicated. But KEEP Winning. ..

Will this be on a test? Will it be open book?
