Cant see us winning @Jaguars... we will be a 10-6 at best and may be enough for the #6 seed.

Actually I feel more confident with a primetime home game against the Eagles who dont really need a win than a road game against a strong D and a team (Jags) who need a W.

If we finish 10-6 there is a strong likelihood that we miss the playoffs altogether.

Atlanta has a tiebreker over us and I only see them losing two more games so that puts them at 10-6
Carolina would have to lose all 3 of their "tough" games and while I see that as being possible, I only realistically see them losing 2, 11-5. Those would be the two teams ahead of us for the wild card.

Seattle would be the odd man out given the strong records in the NFC this year.

I don't feel confident about beating the Rams 3 times in a row

I would much prefer to somehow get a #3 seed, which would place us above the Saints, Panthers, and Falcons. I would feel pretty good facing either the Falcons or Panthers in the Wildcard round, far more than facing the Rams who know us well

Atlanta could easily lose to the Saints twice, or even the Panthers. They could definitely lose to the Vikes. Only 2 games? Atlanta has just as much a chance to miss the playoffs. At least we can say we've already beaten the other good team in the division once. Atlanta still has to beat the Saints

New Orleans is in that fray now too.

1 or 2 of those South teams are going to have 6 losses. They will beat each other up down the stretch.

2 maybe 3, I can't see them losing to Carolina @ Home and as good as the Saints have been both teams are playing well so I assumedly give them a split.

Unlikely it's the Saints.

They play the Jets, Bucs, Panthers @ Home, Falcons @ Home and Falcons away. Doubt they lose more than 1 of those, which leaves them at 4 losses.

Ok....but then if New Orleans is winning those games against Atlanta, that means Atlanta is losing.....or if New Orleans is beating Carolina, that means Carolina is losing. You are giving all these South teams hypothetical wins while apparently forgetting that likely means a South team is also losing....
That's why it's pretty likely that 1 or 2 teams from the south are going to be 10-6 at best.

10-6, wildcard. That's my best guess.

I've actually already done all the math...lol

New Orleans

vs Panthers - Win
@ Falcons - Loss
vs Jets - Win
vs Falcons - Win
@ Tampa - Win

12-4

Atlanta

vs Vikings - Loss
vs Saints - Win
@ Tampa - Win
@ Saints - Loss
vs Panthers Win

10-6 - Tiebreaker over Seattle

Carolina

@ Saints - Loss
vs Vikings - Win/Loss
vs Packers - Win
vs Tampa - Win
@ Atlanta - Loss

10-6, 11-5 - if Carolina 10-6 Seattle gets in with tie breaker if Carolina 11-5, Seattle is out assuming a Loss to the Rams, Philly.

If Seattle beats the Rams and loses to Philly + Dallas = 10-6 tiebreaker over Carolina / Conference Record.

If we lose to Philly we better hope LA loses to Philly too or we might be done.

Most likely scenario probably has us at #6 and traveling to New Orleans in the wild card round.

Looking at the top records and remaining schedules, I think you need 11 wins if you want to make the playoffs.

If Seattle, Atlanta and Carolina all finish 10-6 (quite likely actually) then 3 way tiebreakers come into play and I believe our head to head with Atlanta becomes void......

If so, then I guess we would look into tiebreakers to see who the odd man out would be.

11-5 gets us in. 10-6 still seems solid, but risky.
