Eagles currently #1: 8-1
fricking Vikings keep winning: 7-2
Saints of course: 7-2

Close on our heels:
Panthers: 6-3
Rams: 6-2
Seahawks: 6-3

As good as the 7-0 run has been, looks like we got to sustain it for the rest of the season, seeing as how good the rest of the NFC is.

We had the same record as the Vikings last week and it was still enough for the 2 seed BC of tie breakers. Not sure if that has flipped yet BC if their NFC win today vs our AFC

I'm rooting for the Falcons in this game. Would rather not have to face the Cowboys in the playoffs.

Vikings will lose another 2-3 games with their schedule and I just can't see them sustaining this shite with Case Keenum.

Next two weeks will be important for seeding.

Can’t decide if I should pull for Falcons or Cowboys. Probably Atlanta but that just doesn’t feel right

According to NFL.com if the playoffs started right now, we'd be the 2 seed.

Yep. I'd rather play the Seahawks or Panthers in the playoffs.

Pretty sure Bridgewater is coming back. He was active today. Not that he is some great QB, plus he'll be rusty and probably a bit slower.

Root for the Cowboys. Falcons win and they're only two games back and still play us twice. They somehow sweep us they're ahead of us.

I would assume it's multi-team tie and goes to conference record.

How would Saints be #2 today over Vikings? Conference record doesn't trump head-to-head, does it?

In the case of a 3 way tie out of division (meaning 3 teams in different divisions) conference record is used.

In division you use head to head and then division record (and then conference record) to determine the division lead before going to teams in other divisions.

Gotta pull for the cowboys we need to first win the division and each Atlanta and Carolina loss gets us closer to that.

Yup. Division first, then worry about the rest. Atl still needs 3 loses to take them out. Perhaps we'll be two of those, but then we still have the Panthers right behind us.

Until Car and Atl loses their 7th and/or we get our 11th+ win no one is out.

They just showed the latest playoff graphic and gad Vikings as the 2 seed. Were gonna have to be a full game ahead of them to get the 2 seed.
