Scenario question

[CATCH17]

I'm sure this has been answered but...


If the Giants lose to Baltimore, Cowboys lose to Saints, and Commanders win would we still play Washington for the Division?

Thats correct

 

[links18]

Yes, but like I said a couple of weeks ago--The Ravens are frauds, expect the Giants to roll them.

If the Giants lose this weekend, the Boys/ Skins game the following week is for the division title no matter what else happens. Nobody would have ever guessed that at the beginning of the year.

Yes, as long as the Giants lose one of their last two Week 17 is still a win-and-in situation for both Dallas and Washington.

Go Ravens.

What are the Giants?

 

[bigdnlaca]

Even though it is for division. Cowboys still have to beat NO for wildcard. Minn might lose next week.

How do we get a wildcard?

Chicago and Seattle have it basically locked right?

Minnesota is in ahead of Chicaco right now.

In a 3 way tie between Chicago, Minnesota, and Dallas, the Cowboys win the tiebreaker. It may not make sense since Chicago beat Dallas, but that is what will happen. Minnesota would win the tiebreaker over Chicago (division record) and then Dallas would when the tiebreaker over Minnesota. The head to head between Dallas and Chicago won't matter.

I'm not sure this is correct

We don't, if we win out we win the division, if we win one, we lose the tiebreaker to pretty much everyone. We lose to the tiebreaker to chi, and we would have 6 conference losses.

Isn't Minnesota higher because they won more NFC games?

If that is the case, then Cowboys need GB to beat Minn. If Minn beats GB, they will have 7. I may be wrong.

 

[bigdnlaca]

We don't, if we win out we win the division, if we win one, we lose the tiebreaker to pretty much everyone. We lose to the tiebreaker to chi, and we would have 6 conference losses.

That tiebreaker with Chi doesn't count if another team is tied with both Dallas and Chi.

That's true.

Unless both Minnesota and Chicago lose out.

Best way to get there is to win the divsion, obviously. A home game in the playoffs would be awesome.
That's a LONG way off. One week at a time, as they say.

I can see min losing out, but the bears play arizona, and detroit, I just can't see them losing both of those games.

It is correct. Head to head doesn't matter in a 3 way tie.

Two scenarios (but there are many more)....

If both the Giants and the Cowboys win out, the Giants play at Dallas in Round 1.

If Dallas wins out and the Giants lose one, then Seattle probably plays at Dallas in Round 1.
