NO - 6-6
MIN - 6-6
DAL - 5-7

which would eliminate DAL

Wouldn't the fact that we would have to beat Dallas head-to-head to get to this point, eliminate Dallas?

Bloody good work, Sir!

I think St Louis must lose out as well because splitting their next 2 would make them 7-8-1, which is better than 8-8.

So in a nutshell I think it has to look like this:

First we must win out-

Then Dallas, Chicago, Minn, NYG and St Louis must loose out

Correct?

If so, a quick peek at the schedule shows that its not entirely impossible. Just sayin lol.

You better ask swampwiz.

He could probably tell you the 6 numbers for each Powerball game until the SuperBowl.

UK_WhoDat · 12-17-2012, 02:02 PM

My simple mind tells me we are out because of the Rams.
We cannot make up that tie they got.

AND

One of the other 4 (Giants, Cowboys, Bears, Vikings) get the 1 win necessary.

But until they do - then why not enjoy the ride.

This is more of a long shot than I thought but I guess you never know. My general rule for NFC teams in contention is I want them to lose in these next few weeks I guess. It's been one, INTERESTING, season to be sure*.

In what world is 7 wins better than 8?
Check your math again. 8-8 is better than 7-8-1. You don't need a tye-breaker senario to tell you that.

TheOak · 12-17-2012, 04:17 PM

7-8-1 in regards to tie breaking procedures is counted as 7.5-8.5

the tie is split between wins and losses.... half a game each
