BEST OF THE MEDIOCRE

Times-Picayune, Dec. 26

The scenarios for the 7-8 teams in the NFC to make the playoffs (in order of current seeding):

GIANTS (at Redskins)

In with a win, or if all five teams at 7-8 lose, the Giants would make the playoffs at 7-9.

PACKERS (at Bears)

In with a win and a New York loss. Only other scenario in which the Packers would not qualify is if they are in a two-team tie with St. Louis. In that case, they are eliminated virtue of a 23-20 loss to the Rams on Oct. 8.

PANTHERS (vs. Saints)

In with a win and a New York and Green Bay loss.

RAMS (at Vikings)

In with a win and if all other 7-8 teams lose, unless Green Bay is the only other winner.

FALCONS (at Eagles)

In with a win and if all other 7-8 teams lose, unless St. Louis is the only winner. The Falcons beat the Rams head-to-head virtue of a better strength of victory in the conference.
