Key Week 14 Games

Tampa Bay at Atlanta
Detroit at Chicago
Carolina at New Orleans
Los Angeles Rams at Baltimore
Minnesota at Las Vegas
Seattle at San Francisco
Philadelphia at Dallas
Green Bay at New York Giants

The Carolina Panthers have been eliminated from the playoffs.

Lots of games to be played, but even to be in this position at this point in the season was unthinkable a month ago.

And man, San Fran just took Philly apart. Whoa. Kyle Shanahan's a helluva coach, and Lynch is a helluva GM.

Brock Purdy counting 870,000 on the cap sure helps SF keep a loaded roster.

I don’t find it shocking. Better than expected of course. Just the whole revamping of the team is working out. It is exciting and easy to be optimistic not knowing what is next.

SF better hope the Packers don’t get in or they might get Rodgers and Out early like they used to do to Eron.

Thanks for the run down. The 66% chance espns number crunchers give us seems low. I guess there are so many teams competing for those spots, odds are one of them will play well. Or two even. So maybe 66% is close.

Strong chance we end up 6th and play Detroit again. Then assuming the Cowboys beat the Falcons, it would probably be the Eagles in Round 2, as we would be the lowest seeded. Of the three top teams, Niners, Cowboys, and Eagles, I think the Eagles would be the most beatable.

With a packer win and a lions loss, I’ll be curious to see those division odds.

Despite loss, Packers retain playoff spot, but it's now a 5 way tie.

I'm surprised they still have the 7 seed, I figured ATL would take it by way of having beaten GB, but GB must have the slimmest of tiebreakers in their favor.

apparently playoff percentage is 54% because, partially because we have the easiest schedule out there...

“No way in hell the Packers were gonna win the goddamn division anyway. This loss only improves the team’s draft positioning. If they make the playoffs, great. If not, I look forward to a long offseason of playing disc golf, kayak fishing and the fucking draft.” - Nutz

Head to head gets thrown out with multiple team tie. Three teams are .500 in conference. I think it comes down to win/loss record against common opponents right now.

Go to hell for bumping this so soon!! :lol:
