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.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (3h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (17h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (17h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
