4pm Games to Watch - Lions Playoffs

[grandy]

San Diego @ Detroit - Of course, a win and the Lions are in

Philadelphia @ Dallas - This is important for multiple reasons, to avoid any scenario involving Atlanta, Detroit, and Dallas at 9-7, we want Dallas to LOSE this game because if they lose this week and win next week they win the East and the Giants are out of it, if they lose this week and lose next week, the Cowboys are out of the playoffs.

San Francisco @ Seattle - If Seattle wins, they still have a shot at the playoffs and it also secures GBs home-field, if Seattle loses, they're out of it

The rest of the important games are played tomorrow night and monday night.

Hey, if the the Giants win the East and the Lions and Cowboys are tied at 9-7 (and Seattle and Phoenix have less than 9 wins) do the Lions win the tie break via head to head? Is that the first tie breaker?

If the Falcons win a game, then the Lions win the tie breaker over the Cowboys

If the Falcons don't win a game, then the Lions would lose the tiebreaker as the Cowboys would have the conference record advantage over the Lions and Falcons

The Lions have the tiebreaker over the cowboys due to beating them in Dallas, yes head to head is always the first tie breaker factor. Here's one though that nobody is thinking of. The cowboys have the tie breaker over Atlanta, if Atlanta loses their last two and the pokes slipt LOL hmmm weird

head to head trumps that I believe, Lions have the tiebreaker over the cowboys period.

I'll bet it clears up pretty quick after today's games. LOL

TB is getting blown out by fucking Carolina

If the Lions, Cowboys and Jets win it's settled.

Oops! Actually maybe not quite...

Cincy has to hold on over Arizona and SF has to beat Seattle to settle it.

I think.

Could Chicago still get a wild card over ATL if they're both 9-7?
