49ers- vs HOU and @ LAR
Eagles- @ WAS and vs DAL
Vikings- @ GB and vs CHI
Falcons- @ BUF vs NO

Saints- vs CAR and @ ATL

I've bolded the other teams' absolute must LOSE games. The other game losses would be icing.

49ers did have the Jimmy G thumb injury so that's a wait and see. Rookie dude has supposedly been practicing well...

Philly doesnt have a must lose for us to make the playoffs and neither does atlanta, if the saints are to do what they need to.

then that means they beat the Saints.


What about 3 way tiebreakers involved with Philly?

Atlanta doesn't have to lose to Buffalo, but they will.

Only need SF or Minnesota to lose once if we win out

I think its generally assumed the saints have to win their last two games, so looking at what the falcons do seems futile.

Eagles one loss does not matter against Dallas

Falcons does not matter either bc we HAVE to win out

49ers loss to Rams and Vikings loss to Packers and we are IN, obviously if we win last 2

Saints win out and they get in in all 3 and 4 way tiebreaker situations EXCEPT a 3 way tie with Minny and SF (with SF losing to Rams). Minny would get in.

Big risk with relying on that is Rams may have nothing to play for. They’ll lock up the division this week and have no shot at 1st round bye. They will be sitting key players in week 18 and will have a conservative game plan

Big opportunity will be if Wash can find a way to beat Philly since Philly won’t have Sanders; then Philly May lose out because I believe Dallas has tie breaker on GB. Then again Dallas may see GB playing Det and go ultra conservative in week 18 as well

Lot of assumptions about the nfc west division being over after this week

I don’t expect a depleted AZ to beat Dallas. Also don’t expect Rams to lose to Balt. Rams win & AZ loses gives Rams the West without having to consider tie breakers
