I'm not sure who put this together but it looks interesting.
Under the heading best/worst case scenario for other teams is the Washington footballs playing the Lions. It's a win-win situation. If the footballs win it pushes the Lions down in the standings. If the Lions win it moves them a little further away from the top pick. The goes for viking-bares game. Push them closer to 8-8 and a mid round draft pick instead of grabbing a potentially elite prospect. (The vikings are setting themselves up to win out or go 7-1.)

A new week. New standings:

1 New Orleans Saints 9-2
2 Seattle Seahawks 8-3 Wins tie break over Green Bay based on strength of victory.
3 Green Bay Packers 8-3
4 New York Giants 4-7 Wins tie break over Washington based on head-to-head win.
5 Los Angeles Rams 7-4
6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-5
7 Arizona Cardinals 6-5

outside looking in MN, Bears, SF 5-6
Remaining games:
Eagles 3-7-1
@ Lions 4-7
Panthers 4-8
Titans 8-3
@ Bears 5-6
Without beating TN, the SOV is not going to improve. Even if they do beat TN, the record for the other teams isn't much to brag about.

Of course, Seahawks have the easiest schedule in the NFL left... but since their defense struggles it could happen.

Against Rams, 49ers or maybe the best defensive front 4 in the game Deadskins.

I don't think NY or NY have a shot

And Saints have to face the Chiefs, so they would only need one surprise loss and face the Falcons (who were really hot last week) and Vikings (they're sometimes surprisingly hot, especially if they get to deal with a younger QB)

So ESPN, CBS, Pro football ref and I assume other websites have Seattle as the 2nd place seed and GB 3rd. NFL.com which is the league's own website lists GB 2nd and Seattle 3rd.

It they are correct and everyone else under the sun is wrong then the standings are as follows:

1 New Orleans Saints 9-2
2 Green Bay Packers 8-3
3 Seattle Seahawks 8-3
4 New York Giants 4-7
5 Los Angeles Rams 7-4
6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-5
7 Arizona Cardinals 6-5

Games will then be-
GB vs AZ
Seattle vs TB
NYG vs LA.

Something else I find funny is how NFL.com lists the seeds

The seven postseason participants from each conference are seeded as follows:

1. The division champion with the best record.
2. The division champion with the second-best record.
3. The division champion with the third-best record.
4. The division champion with the fourth-best record.
5. The Wild Card club with the best record.
6. The Wild Card club with the second-best record.

They forgot to add the 7th playoff team to the format even though they tells us there will be 7 teams from each conference.

I think what they did is they used the tie breaking format for two teams in the same division and said GB has a better division record so they are they 2nd place seed because their division record is better.

NFL.com has been prone to errors in the past. It's why I don't use their website for statistics, or actually anything anymore.

Not to ruin WPR's fun for laying out all the NFC playoff seeds, I just had to do this one...

As of current standings
#7 seed Minnesota Vikings @ #2 seed Green Bay Packers!

And really all the current NFC playoffs matches would be rematches tough losses between playoff teams if seeding stays the same as it is now.
Vikings @ Packers were one of the Packers 3 losses this season ... along with @ Bucs and @ Colts ... but Vikings were the only Packers home game loss so far this season.

#10

Even with 4 games left this week, I believe the NFL playoff seeding is locked in for this week

1. Saints 10-2 - Remaining Games @ Eagles, Chiefs, Vikings, @ Panthers
2. Packers 9-3 - Remaining Games @ Lions, Panthers, Titans, @ Bears
3. Rams 8-4 ... Head to Head victory over Seahawks - Games Patriots, Jets, @ Seahawks, Cardinals
4. Giants 5-7 - Games Cardinals, Browns, @Ravens, Cowboys
5. Seahawks 8-4 - Jets, @ Washington, Rams, @49ers
6. Buccaneers 7-5 - Vikings, @ Falcons, @ Lions and Falcons again?
7. Vikings 6-6 - Common Games tie breaker over Cardinals As Vikings beat Panthers and Lions, whom both beat Cardinals... while Cardinals beat Cowboys who beat the Vikings... but both lost to the Seahawks. Leading Vikings at 2-2 in common games and Cardinals at 1-3. Remaining Games @ Buccaneers, Bears, @ Saints, @ Lions

Just missed
Cardinals - 6-6 ... @ Giants, Eagles, 49ers, @ Rams
49ers - 5-6 (play Bills on Monday this week still... would lose tie breaker with Cardinals if they win, due to head to head match-up).... Games Washington, @ Cowboys, @ Cardinals, Seahawks
Bears 5-7 Texans, @ Vikings, @ Jaguars, Packers
Lions 5-7 Packers, @ Titans, Buccaneers, Vikings

Seeding won't remain this way because of the schedules and some have to change with playoff teams facing off... based on current seeding it would be a lot of good rematches from earlier this year.

bye week vs #1 Saints
#7 Vikings @ #2 Packers
#6 Buccaneers @ #3 Rams
#5 Seahawks @ #4 Giants

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
