After the early games today, we have a situation where 6 teams could be tied at 9-7 in the NFC, one winning the NFC East and the other 5 vying for the 2 wildcard spots.
First, let's take a look who would win the NFC East. In this scenario, Dallas beats Washington and the Giants go 1-1 in their last 2 games. Dallas would win the division on the common opponent tie-breaker over Washington with the Giants having fallen by the wayside on the division record tie-breaker.
That would leave Washington, the Giants, Minnesota, Chicago, and Seattle as the other teams. Seattle would have to go 0-2, Chicago 1-1, and Minnesota 1-1.
Washington would get the first wildcard, first by beating the Giants on division record, then beating the other 3 teams on conference record.
Then the wildcard tie-breakers are done again, this time with the Giants included again and now the Giants beat the other teams on conference record.
There are certainly many other scenarios, but this one was pretty interesting so thought I'd write it up. More perhaps later.
