I hope this helps:
1. We
must beat the Giants to have a chance to get in. If we win, then our final record will be 9-6-1.
2. That would eliminate TB because the best they can finish is 9-7.
3. If Detroit beats Dallas on Monday, they are in the playoffs because that would be their 10th win. They would then enter their final game with a 10-5 record.
4. So, if Detroit wins Monday and we beat NYG next week, then we would still need Detroit to beat GB for us to get in. With a loss, GB would finish 9-7 and they would be eliminated. If GB beats Detroit in that game, both teams would finish at 10-6 and both of those teams would make the playoffs while we would be eliminated.
5. If Detroit loses to Dallas, then both Detroit and GB will be 9-6 going into their final game vs. one another. The winner of that game wins their division and, with a Skins victory over the NYG, the loser will finish 9-7 and be eliminated.
