to help us in the playoff race? I'm thinking Atlanta, TB, Carolina, and the Deadskins?

Commanders aren't making the playoffs. We need Tampa to lose. Carolina will win the South and it's a safe bet with their schedule the Falcons make the playoffs. If Tampa and us have the same record, we own the tie breaker, so we need Tampa to lose as much as possible the last 4 weeks.

The Commander's schedule isn't that rough.

falcons losing today means we're in the 6th spot no matter if we win or lose and no matter what happens in the Commanders game.

the saints must win.

Read my post about the tiebreaker. We need both ATL and TB to lose, but TB moreso than ATL.

I disagree. A Falcon loss is more important. Personally, I think a TB win is better for Dallas. Carloina has the more difficult schedule to close.

You guys are forgetting the Eagles.

prediction -12/28 game will be for sixth seed and will move to Sunday Night Football.

Now what do YOU think will happen?

Browns losing today wasn't too bad. Considering we get their 3rd rounder.

We own the tiebreaker over Atlanta now.

We are either the 5th or sixth seed at the end of the day.

Whoever above talked about the Eagles... we have a 1.5 game over them right now and hold the head to head tie-breaker.

So for us to play them for a playoff spot we'd need to lose twice and we'd need the NFC South teams(other than the winner) to all lose another game.
