Arizona has a pretty easy road aside from GB in the final game, its possible they win out, MINN loses 2 of the next 4 and the vikes loose their first round buy by virtue of the head to head tie breaker.
Minn:
Cincinnati (9-3), at Carolina (5-7), at Chicago (5-7), N.Y. Giants (7-5).
Arizona:
San Francisco (5-7), at Detroit (2-10), St. Louis (1-11), Green Bay (7-4).

Unfortunately, that scenario has us loosing to Arizona. So amend that to Arizona going 3-1 down the stretch, the Vikings losing all of their remaining games, Green Bay winning out, Philly beating Dallas but losing to the Giants, and the NFC East winning all remaining games against non-division opponents. Suddenly, Green Bay wins the North at 12-4 and has a bye because Arizona and the NFC East winner would be 11-5. Dallas, New York, and Philly would all be 11-5 and Minnesota would be 10-6. Minnesota misses the playoffs! Hell, while we're at it let's have New Orleans lose out and finish 12-4 as well, giving us home field advantage for the playoffs due to the conference record tie breaker.
Hey, it could happen [-o<
