Cool site - chances of Redskins making the playoffs

Didnt know it was this hard!

Now, on to flexing's rules. The NFL makes the game-swapping decisions. But CBS and Fox can each protect five of their regularly-scheduled Sunday afternoon games, but not two on the same weekend — and none for season-ending Week 17.

There's more. Only three NFL teams can appear as many as six times in primetime — on NBC, ESPN or the league's own NFL Network — and no team can appear more than four times on NBC. And NBC can't pick up games already slated for primetime on ESPN or the NFL Network.

I thought the Dallas Thanksgiving game was on CBS, if so that might not have counted towards the 6.

The Thanksgiving game technically wans't a primetime game. The primetime games were three on NBC (Giants, Bears, Eagles), one on ESPN (Bills) and two on NFL Network (Packers, Panthers).

If we win out there is an 81.5% chance we make the playoffs if we win out
(any of the follow need to happen as well)
1)Saints need to lose one
2)Giants need to lose out,

If we go 8-8 our chances of getting in are 5.5%(There are a bunch of weird chances)
1)We lose to the Viks beat the Boys, the Viks lose to Denver and Chicago. Along with NYG losing out.
2)Thinking about more makes my head hurt lol....

hoo, I think I see your point. It all boils down to 23%, and hoping the Saints ain't got it! G-nomes, well, we already know what they ain't got!

It seems simple to me, we win out and the saints lose one.

Here is another good explanation of the playoff scenario (which, of course, got much more simple with the Vikings' win last night):
