Final NFC Contenders (merged)

Seattle is the ONLY NFC team that has definitely filled a spot in the playoffs. So Seattle at 11-2 is in.
Seattle (11-2)
Tampa (9-4)
Carolina (9-4)
Atlanta (7-5) before playing New Orleans on MNF
Chicago (9-4)
Minnesota (8-5)
REDSKINS (7-6)
12-18 vs Dallas (8-5)
12-24 vs NY Giants (9-4)
1-1 @ Philadelphia (5-7)
GIANTS (9-4)
12-17 vs Kansas City (8-5)
12-24 @ Washington (7-6)
12-31 @ Oakland (4-8)
COWBOYS (8-5)
12-18 @ Washington (7-6)
12-24 @ Carolina (9-4)
1-1 vs St Louis (5-8)
Thats 8 teams all in contention for 6 spots. I'll go ahead and give #1 to Seattle. You can also bet that at least 2 teams from the nfc south will probably get in leaving 5 teams to contend for 3 spots. If you say the Giants win the nfc east then theres now 4 teams for 2 spots and my best guess is that the 4 teams will be the Redskins, Cowboys, Vikings or Bears, and probably Falcons. I haven't exactly played out each teams schedule to see what exactly needs to happen yet. If anyone would like to add some more to the point scenarios please do so. I sure hope the Skins can get their hands on one of the last spots!

We win out we get in and it's as simple as that. We would have only two NFC conference losses and that would be better than all of the teams in contention for the wildcard spots.

Yep, for the first time in a long time all we have to do to get to the post-season is win our games and not worry about anyone else.

The playoffs are set like this. 4 division winners make the playoffs, 2 teams get wildcard. So it looks something like this right now. Take the best team from each division and give them a spot.

Seattle
Chicago
Tampa Bay
New York Giants

leaving a bunch of other teams in contention for two wildcard spots. the teams that still have a chance at wildcard are:

Atlanta
Carolina
Dallas
Washington
Minnesota

Guess whos not a contender

only ten bucks? after that long run of theirs in the nfc east? especially after a lions fan sold his loyalty for $250 on ebay.

Aside from the 4 division heads, I would say that either Tampa or Carolina (whoever does not win the division) is probably going to get in since they both have 9 wins. Tampa would have to lose their remaining games for us to overtake them and Carolina could win only one more (and since they play teams like Dallas and Atlanta, we would want them to win). That means us, Dallas, Atlanta, and Minnesota are in contention for the last spot. I do believe that if we win out we are in beacuse of our conference record.

Here are the other team's schedules:

Atlanta: New Orleans, @Chicago, @Tampa, Carolina
Dallas: @Washington, @Carolina, St. Louis
Minnesota: Pittsburgh, @Baltimore, Chicago

Really, its not out of the question that each of these teams even loses two games, let alone only one, but I think our biggest threat is Minnesota. Also, we can still look to win the division by winning out and hoping the Giants lose to either the Chiefs or Raiders.

i think minny will lose to pittsburgh and chicago.

I wouldn't take an ex-eagles fan for FREE!!! Not that I blame him. HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.
