If we win out the two most important games are

Went through a bunch of playoff scenarios but barring any ridiculous upsets there are two games to watch in the last three weeks. This is assuming we win out for simplicity sake.

Week 15

Dallas @ Philadelphia

Who we want to win - Philly

If we win out and Philly wins this game - we are guaranteed the #2 seed and a BYE week.

Week 17

Detroit @ Green Bay

Who we want to win - Detroit

If we win out and Detroit wins this game we are guaranteed the number 1 seed with a Dallas loss somewhere.

And I think GB has a way better chance of Buffalo beating them in Buffalo then Detroit winning in Lambeau.

Doesnt matter who beats them. They just need to lose.

Yeah it is an interesting situation based off our conference record. Basically if we win out the worst thing that could happen is both dallas and GB win out and we get the 3 seed. But if you switch just one game and say Detroit beats GB we are then 1 seed because this would create a 4 way tie between GB, Det, Dallas, and SEA. This is all just based on assuming that these teams win out of course which is unlikely.

If we were to lose one game though(especially to AZ), Dallas beating Philly is way better for Seattle. I think we win out, so I'm hoping Philly knocks off Dallas next week.

If that were to happen it would be..

1. Green Bay 13-3
2. Seattle 12-4
3. Dallas 12-4
4. NFCS
5. Arizona 12-4
6. Detroit 11-5

Three way tie means head to head isn't a factor but instead conference record is used as the tiebreaker.

Except the 3-way tie is removed since the 3rd team is in the wildcard and not divisional. So actually, Dallas would take #2 seed since AZ's 12-4 does not enter into the 3way tie formula.

Wouldn't head to head still count in this situation since all three teams have played each other at least once?

Doesnt matter, because divisional tie-breakers apply first. The 3-way would only apply if all 3 were the divisional winners, or all 3 are going for a wild card spot.

Since we would take the Division, AZ automatically drops to the wildcard and the 5th seed removing them from the tie-breaking procedures between Dallas and Seattle.
