Pretty wild. I love this!

I know there will be many on here not wanting to play Rodgers or Brady. But you will always play a good team in the playoffs. We just have to hope we are up to the challenge.

It's wild but the most likely option is we are the #5 seed. The 2nd most likely is we are the 2 seed. It's an extreme longshot we are the #1 seed. You'd need two big favorites to lose to two mediocre teams who both may not even be playing starters.

How would a 3 way tie at 13-4 between SF, Dal, and Min workout?

Have zero faith do it does not matter much who they play, they will end up doing something stupid, their D cant stop anyone, Dak with either throw a pick or it will bounce off some ones hands, its like watching the same movie over and over and hoping its different and it never is

For the #1 seed?

There can't be a three way tie at 13-4 between those three teams. In order for all three to be in contention for the #1 seed, they would need Philly to lose. Philly would then be 13-4, so it would be a 4 way tie.

SF #1 seed
Dallas #2 seed
Minnesota #3

Is it based on record against common opponents?

Ignore my post and read the edit. There is no possible scenario where only the 49ers, Cowboys and Vikings are the only three at 13-4.

But pretending that the Eagles didn't exist in this scenario, I believe San Fran has the clear conference record advantage over both, so they would get the #1 seed. Dallas then has the head to head over Minny. They would get #2.

I understand but it's unfair that we have to play Brady or Rodgers but the Gnats get to play the stupid Vikings.

We get 2nd seed due to conference record

Philly as 5th will be great

Don't forget the Run, Run, Pass combination on all series.

It can absolutely be a 3 way tie between those teams. The 1,2 and 3 seed is between division winners. If Philly loses and Dallas wins, Philly wouldn't be a division winner. Only 1 division winner is possible

I think Philly would automatically get removed from the 3 way tie breaking scenario even at 12-4 because the whole division tie breaking scenario would eliminate them from the 3 way tie scenario.

Bucs are going to get rest next week as they are locked in at 4.

How would a 3 way tie at 13-4 between SF, Dal, and Min workout?

Under the 3-way tie breaker scenarios, SF would be the 1 seed by virtue of a better conference record than both Dallas and Minnesota. Then it would revert to the 2-way tie breaker. Dallas would be the #2 seed by virtue of beating Minnesota during the season. The Vikings would be the #3 seed.

Got it.......sure wish Dallas forced Jacksonville to burn that 3rd timeout 3 weeks ago......

Dallas as the #2 seed may be the best case scenario for the Cowboys.

Wildcard round

#2 Dallas defeats #7 seed (GB, SEA, or DET)
#3 seed Vikes beat #6 seed Giants
#5 seed Eagles beat #4 seed Bucs

Divisional round

#2 seed Dallas beats #3 seed Vikes
#5 seed Eagles defeat #1 seed 49ers

Dallas hosts NFC Championship game against Eagles.
