I would argue the cards have the hardest remaining schedule, bucs the easiest.
We are about average.

If we get through Baltimore, those two home games and the @Lions look like a cupcake finish.

[Joemailman]

If the playoff seedings finished the way they are now, and if all the home teams won on wild card weekend, Mike McCarthy would the bring the Cowboys to Lambeau for a divisional round game.

[scharpcheddar]

Lol I think Arizona loses to Detroit.

If you get this right, I'll read a book on numerology hahahahaha.

It worked last week...

The Packers can rest everyone in Week 18 AND get the bye if the following happens:

-Green Beat beats Cleveland and Minnesota

-Arizona beats Dallas

-Tampa Bay loses one of their next three

Right now Tampa Bay trails New Orleans 6-0.

Looks like you got some reading to do.

Saints fighting tough, but no way 6 points is gonna cut it against Tam Brady.

[jmbarnes101]

Saints shutout the Bucs. We are officially in the driver’s seat.

[King Friday]

Dallas is now our greatest threat, with a better conference record than GB.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Dallas is now our greatest threat, with a better conference record than GB.

Right now, but I think Dallas is unlikely to go 3-0. Arizona, Washington and Philadelphia (especially if they go with Minshew) are all good enough to beat the Cowboys. I hope Dallas gets a higher seed than Tampa Bay though.

All that's been clinched in the NFC is that the Packers have won their division (which means no lower than a 4 seed), and the Lions are out of the playoffs. That's more important this year than other years because Covid is having a real impact on rosters. A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush applies here.

Wow- Arizona and Tampax Bay both losing, and Green Bay holding on for a win?

That really puts them in the driver's seat.

as soon as I read the list I was thinking about the Pack playing McCarthy.

lol, yup. I would never have dreamed that one would come back to haunt you tpb!

ESPN now reporting Chris Godwin has a torn ACL.

Big blow to the Bucs offense. He was Brady's favorite target by far.

[smuggler]

Yikes. That's rough - especially for a receiver. Gotta think that really harms the Bucs' hopes of repeating.

Big blow for Godwin. He's a free agent after this season.

Vikings back in last playoff spot, pending what Washington and Philly do tomorrow night.

[HarveyWallbangers]

The way I can figure things out, Washington holds a tiebreaker over Minnesota, Minnesota holds a tiebreaker over Philadelphia. Minnesota vs. New Orleans is a bit trickier. Right now, Minnesota holds the tiebreaker. However, if the two teams tie at 9-8 and the Saints loss is to the Dolphins, then the Saints will own a tiebreaker over Minnesota. Considering the Saints play Carolina and Atlanta the final two weeks, it looks like there's a decent chance that the Vikings would not get in at 9-8.

Rooting for Washington over Philadelphia tomorrow night, the Saints against Carolina and Atlanta the final two weeks, and Minnesota to lose to the Packers (hopefully) or Rams.

It looks to me like the NFC has more high-quality teams at the top of the playoff standings as compared to the AFC. But it also looks like the last couple wild-card teams in the NFC are pretenders, while the AFC has some pretty good teams down at the bottom. Hell, at the moment, Baltimore doesn't even qualify for the playoffs, and they're 8 - 6. In the NFC 6 - 8 teams are in the hunt.
