The new ESPN Playoff Machine came out today. Always fun to mess around with.
Playoff Machine - ( New Window )

if you simply select to choose games based on defensive rank, the Giants get in and the Patriots are out....weird
NFC Projection  
giantgiantfan : 11/25/2015 2:13 pm : link
Arizona (14-2)
Carolina (14-2)
Green Bay (11-5)
Giants (9-7)
Atlanta (10-6)
Tampa Bay (9-7)

Which means the Giants would play Atlanta @home and crush them like last time and then have to win one in Arizona which is a tall fn order.

NFC East:
Giants (9-7)
Dallas (7-9)
Washington (7-9)
GutterBirds (6-10)
Played around with it and if the Giants beat Washington, Miami,

Carolina and the Eagles then I believe the Giants win the division even if Dallas wins out. Obviously a tall order, but not a remote possibility. It's huge if the Giants beat Washington and at the very least Philly or Dallas loses tomorrow. The Redskins and any NFC East team that loses tomorrow has a very remote chance to win the division.
Also consider this. If Dallas loses tomorrow, the Eagles lose one game

prior to Week 17 and the Giants beat Washington and won other team prior to Week 17 then I believe the Giants would control their own destiny in Week 17 no matter what else happens.
I have to clarify that. The Giants would control their own destiny if

they beat either the Jets, Dolphins or Panthers prior to Week 17. If they beat Minnesota then it doesn't matter.

I really believe the Eagles, Dallas, and Washington lose this week. Really sets up the Giants nicely with a 2 game lead over Philly, 3 over Washington/Dallas. Especially since Philly still has games against New England and Arizona and Dallas and Washington have to play eachother twice which I envision them splitting.
Maybe this is me being a little too confident in the Giants

But knowing how great Eli is in the postseason, a possible road of home vs Minnesota, in Carolina and then in Green Bay/Arizona is not that bad at all. Would rather play in Green Bay then in Arizona.

Also, I should point out that I'm not sold on Carolina yet for some reason.
To come back from the losses

to Philly and New Orleans......and if not for one play, to almost hand NE it's first loss, you don't need a playoff machine.....

If this team is truly a playoff team, they would be more apt to run the table than Dallas......

But one game at a time.....next up Washington....

Carolina looked damn good last week. Jonathan Stewart is tough to bring down.
didn't like the thing I posted the other day?

I like it, so I'm posting again for people who didn't see it.

I fiddle around with it enough to get the Giants #1 seed
