-PHI can only get a playoff bye if they have a better record than Chicago

NFC North CORRECTED
-CHI has clinched the division
-GB is eliminated from playoff contention with a LOSS to NYG
-GB has the tiebreaker over Tampa and would have tiebreaker over NYG if they WIN in Wk 16

-New Orleans clinches wild card birth with 1 WIN or 1 LOSS for either GB or TB

NFC West
-SF can clinch division with 2 WINS
-STL can clinch division with 2 WINS
-SEA can clinch division with 2 WINS
(there are a bunch of other possibilities, but I don't feel like cracking my head open)

(STL plays SF and SEA; SEA plays TB and STL; SF plays STL and ARI)

I want a 7-9 champ for the NFC West

[Primetime]

Packers still control their own destiny for the wildcard spot. Division is still up in the air for us. Can definitely see the Bears losing to the Jets. Packers just need to beat NYG and the Bears and they take the division.

Another Music City Miracle is about to happen.

Another Music City Miracle is about to happen.

It was ugly when you rooted for my team and it'll be the same when I do for yours...

Britt and CJ better get their shit together, Woy.

Bear's just have to win against Minnesota to seal the North don't they?

That would put them at 10-4 while being 5-0 in the North. Packers are currently 8-6 and 3-2 in the division, with their final division game being between each other.

If the Bear's lose their final two games and the Packers win theirs (in the situation of the Bears beating the Vikings), it's still both teams at 10-6, with them splitting their two games, but Green Bay would still go home because Chicago would be 5-1 compared to 4-2 in the division. (Which is the 2nd tiebreaker after head to head)

[Cody]

Still see the Jags getting in and Chicago clinching tomorrow night.

[Leftwich]

I can honestly see the 49ers making the playoffs... call me crazy.

Oakland hasn't swept KC. They play next week.

[CaribbeanJoseph]

Niners will win the West :redsmug:

[CaribbeanJoseph]

Oakland hasn't swept KC. They play next week.

To finish in a tie for 1st the Raiders would have to of beat the Cheifs ;)

Correct, Packers would have to get in through the Wildcard. Then the Packers would play the bears again.

Oh, yeah. And they don't play next week, they play the week after.

Bed time for me.
