Yes- we would have 13 wins and best anyone else could do is 12. So, we only have to win 1 more game to clinch a bye.

As for HF throughout, when the Vikes lose (it's 10:30 EST and they are down 14), we really only have a 1 game lead on them even though we are up by 2 in the loss column. If we were to go 2-2 and Minn win out, we would would both be 14-2, but they would win the tie-breaker.

So, we win the next 3, start Daniel & Hamilton against the Panthers, and then rest for two home playoff games before on to Miami. Simple

I still say we play starters for at least a half to put us up in those last two games.
