Final 3 Games for Playoff Teams

[Mitchrapp]

I thought it was less confusing than all other posts in this thread, lol.

I'm going to go off the assumption that this knows and uses the tiebreaker procedures properly, but play around this guy and I thin it can answer our deepest darkest questions:

It appears that if NYG, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit all finish 9-7, we're in. But Chicago has to lose to either Green Bay or Minny, if their loss comes against Seattle and they beat the Pack and the Queens, we're out at 9-7.

Mitch[/color]]I just said that. It be who has the best division record between Chicago and Detroit. Whoever does will then get who has the best conference record between them and Dallas.

if we win the next two... we are 100% in unless chicago beat gb..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Correct. 9 will likely get in, I don't seeing Chicago winning twice but 2 wins in for sure.

 

[biggunsbob]

Can we just win all three games coming up and make any tiebreaker mute.. But thanks for popsting this. If Seattle can stay turnover free they may have a shot in Chicago if Lynch can go off..

 

[Mitchrapp]

We need Seattle to lose at least one unless we get to 10 wins. Not sure who else they play.

If we go 1 and 2. DAL goes 3 and 0. And NYG go 2-1.....

wouldnt DAL and NYG go? Or we beat NYG in a tie breaker?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nope. With that scenario, the NYG lose to Dallas thus getting their 7th conference loss. Detroit won't have more than 6.

 

[Mitchrapp]

With 1 win, Dallas and the NYG can not beat us out.

 

[Mitchrapp]

We win 1, Chicago loses one we're in. Simple as that. Maybe next week.

If Arizona wins out....

woooooo nelleeeeeeeeeee Mitch..... if Chi wins two out of 3...we are fucked if we only win 9. they would still have the Division and/or the conference tiebreaker...

 

[Mitchrapp]

I get that. The reason I say win next week and they lose scenario is that they still have GB and they're not beating against GB. So 2 wins for them will be almost impossible.

 

[Mitchrapp]

If Arizona wins out....

Yeah I always over look them and Seattle because they're 6 win teams. But if they win out and we only win 9, no idea

 

[Mitchrapp]

In fact Arizona has easy schedule for the most part, Clev. And Cinci and Seattle. They better not fk it up, ugh

No, if Chicago's loss is to Green Bay or Minnesota we beat them out. Common games comes before Conference win pct in tiebreakers. A loss to Seattle and wins over the Pack and Vikings, yes we're fucked because their division record would be better assuming Detroit drops the finale.

No they do division first if two teams are from same division.

 

[elrod817]

Right and if one of Chicago's losses is to Minny or Green Bay they'll be 3-3 just like us...next tiebreaker is common game win percentage for a wild card spot between two teams in the same division.
