This has been one of the crazier season's ever. I can't believe the Saints are on an 8 game win streak and are 3rd in the NFC at the moment. It seems like no one is losing any games. The last couple weeks of the season will be incredible compared to the shitshow that is the AFC.

I think the Rams and Eagles also play.

Dallas gets everyone but Zeke back in the next two weeks and the four games left before he returns are all against teams 4-6 or worse, three at home. They could realistically be 9-5 playing a 9-5 Seattle team for the 6th seed in his first game back.

Philly may bench everyone by week 17 though so that might be a stretch

NFC schedule is very backloaded this year. All these 6-9 win teams will beating up each other over the final 6 weeks.

Lots of top teams have beat up on the weak AFC and teams like NY, Arizona, Tampa and Chicago so far.

Atlantas closing schedule is stupid hard.

If Philly has clinched home field by week 17, Dallas effectively has the easiest remains schedule of any .500 or better NFC team. They would have ONE game left against a potential playoff team that was playing to win. Dallas will likely be favored in at least 4 of their last 6.

Philly is in week 17, where they are hopefully 13-2 or so and have clinched everything.

Other than that, Dallas plays the 4-6 Chargers, 4-6 Redskins (who they already beat), 2-8 NY (who they already beat) and 4-6 Raiders (who are floundering).

Dallas with Smith and Lee should win those games. Alfred Morris is averaging 6 YPC.

hey man i understand what should happen.

its the nfl. youre speaking to a guy who watched the saints go 13-0 and lose 3. Anything can happen. Philly isnt a lock for anything.

dallas isnt out of it and philly isnt some lock for anything

Bad fake fg call, Shaq Griffin doesn't go out on first series, gain 2 more yards in last drive, take away 1 if Seattle's bad turnovers, stop ONE third and long, etc... There are so many things that if one of them goes differently Seattle likely would have won. Seattle's kick returner constantly had long returns and Seattle still outgained atl 360-279 so no one can really say Seattle was only in it because of the KO returns in the first half

Likely? Probably not.

It's a real possibility though given their schedule vs everyone else's. NFL is a funny league, things can change pretty quickly.

I can't remember a conference race liked this before. Sucks being in the NFC South this year

Atlanta's schedule is crazy to end the year, but they have the head to head advantage over Seattle, Dallas, Detroit, and Green Bay, so thats basically a 2 game lead over everyone except Seattle(at the moment). If they can win both of their games against Tampa, they have a great shot at that 6th seed.
