Official NFC Playoff Standings Thread - 6 Weeks To Go

Iike the Cards Bears matchup on soldier field.
As opposed to arizona.
That's a old school game and two simple helmets

It’s predetermined. Arizona wins. 42.

For #1 seed, Packers need to win out and need Arizona to lose 1 game vs. NFC opponent. That is all.

Actually, H2H comes before conference record, right? So assuming we win out, they just need to lose any one game. If it goes to a three way tiebreak with the Bucs/Packers/Cards, we would want to be tops in conference %, though.

That's why I said Arizona needs to lose an NFC game. So the Packers will have a better conference record than them.

If we win out and Arizona loses a game, I’m pretty sure we’d get the #1 seed.

In a two way tie, we have have them on head-to-head.

If Tampa Bay won out, Tampa Bay would be eliminated on the second tiebreak (conference record) and then it would revert to head-to-head vs Arizona.

If we win out and it's a three way tie, we would at worst be tied for conference record with Arizona, as their two losses so far are in conference, same as our two in conference. In that scenario, it would be based on our h to h win against them, right?

Verified this.

Packers can clinch the NFC North with a Queens loss to the Steelers on Thursday and a Pack victory over the Mobsters of the Midway Sunday night.

Please God, anyone but the Bucs.

Though I am still haunted by that Packer playoff loss in the desert several years ago. The Packer defense was nonexistent in that game. What was the final score, like 47-44 or something? It was stupid. I lost my voice for a week because of Dom Capers.
