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.

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.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : NFL told Bears that Packers’ blocked field goal was legal

packerfanoutwest (19h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (22-Nov) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2
