Six teams in the NFC are 6-3, Falcons are 7-2.

Bye weeks are over for everyone.

Giants (#2) at Eagles (#7) Packers with the tiebreaker over the Eagles need them to beat the Giants.

Cheer for Seattle (#4) to win in the Superdome over the Saints (#5).

Hope the Rams at home can beat the Falcons,

Cheer for the 49'ers to beat the Buccaneers out in San Francisco.

The playoff race is on.

After the vikings the Falcons game in Atlanta is a big game.

So rather than being worried about the vikings, I'm scared of the eagles. Wow.

If I'm reading the tie breaker correctly on nfl.com I have a correction.

The Eagles are actually leading their division, which makes us seventh behind NYG and NO as both have better conference records. Within the division it goes head-to-head, division record, common games, and then conference. Philly are 2-1 in common games (Indy, Detroit, and Tennessee) whereas New York are 1-2.

Even if this were not the case I'm not sure in the multiple team tie we go ahead of Philly at the moment. The first step in tiebreaker for wildcard is to take the highest ranked team in each division involved in the tie breaker and disregard the rest. The first three team tiebreaker is NO, GB, and PHI, which goes to New Orleans as they have the best conference record.

Then the process is repeated now that New Orleans has been selected, which brings Tampa back into consideration. There is no head-to-head sweep, everyone has the same conference record, there are not 4 common games between the three teams (3 between Green Bay and Philly by my count), so it goes to strength of victory. Philly has a better strength of victory at .500 than we do at .389 and Tampa at .286. Philly would be sixth, we would be seventh, and Tampa eighth in such a case.

The Giants and Eagles have the same divisional record.
Then common games and they only have 3 Lions, Titans, and Colts(need 4 common games for that tiebreakers) When they do then the Eagles win and the Giants loss to the Colts will be significant.

Then Conference record.
Giants are 5-1 only losing to the Cowboys.
Eagles are 4-2 with loses to the Packers and Redskins.

The Giants lead the East.

Nice to see you being alert but common games does not matter until there are 4.

By the way the Packers beat the Eagles head to head which is the first tiebreaker.

The tiebreaker for common games for the division says nothing about 4 games. If you read the tiebreaker rules from nfl.com you will only see 4 games minimum as a prerequisite to consider common games as a tiebreaker for the wildcard. For the record, nfl.com lists the Eagles above the Giants in the NFC East standings.

I'm also aware of the fact we beat the Eagles. It is only the first tiebreaker in the event of a three or more team tie if one team has swept all teams involved. We have not beat New Orleans or Tampa so we do not have a sweep.

Just keep winning. Makes da Bears game very important. But then again, I don't see da Bears winning too many games from here on out.

Seahawks are in it because their division rivals are even worse.

I think keeping the details of GDP calculation straight is easier than applying the rules for NFL playoff tiebreakers.

I try to stay on top of it because it is confusing.
The NFL does not publish all their rules.
I believe the NFL is consistent with their definition of common games (a minimum of 4). Why would there be a different definition of common games within a division when division rivals have 14 common games over the course of a season?

By the way this little gem will last only a few days because the Giants play at the Eagles Head to Head this weekend.

The Packers are okay now. But you see how the loss to the Redskins really hurt them. Had Crosby made that field goal they would be #1 seed in the NFC with a better Conference record than the Falcons.

That is why I titled the thread high and tight.
Right now it is a close race.

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (9h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (9h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (9h) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (13h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (13h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (13h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (16h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (16h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (16h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (16h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (16h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (16h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (16h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (16h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (17h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (17h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (17h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (17h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (17h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (18h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (18h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (18h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (18h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (19h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (19h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (19h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (20h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (21h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (21h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (22h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (22h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (22h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (22h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (22h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (22h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (22h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (22h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (22h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (22h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (22h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (22h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (22h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (22h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (22h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (22h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
