Until the next Washington game.
They now have to beat Washington on the road 2 weeks from now.

A 9-7-1 team gets in over a 9-8 team

So hypothetically if the Giants finish 9-7-1 and Seahawks finish 9-8, the Giants get in even though the Seahawks beat the Giants.

Giants will be playing game 14 with legit chance at playoffs
Need to get to at least 9 wins

But I think two weeks against Washington is a must win. It's really just the Giants, Seahawks, and Commanders fighting over two wild card spots. But Seattle has the tiebreaker on us, and if we lose in Landover in 14 days, so will Washington.

Yeah if you count wins as 1pt and ties as 1/2 a point, then in that situation the Giants get in with 9.5 vs Seattle's 9
Yes the tie helps us

Thanks to Atlanta’s loss and Seattle’s tough schedule. If LA beats them today to send them to 6-6 then suddenly 7-4-1 looks pretty good in the NFC.

SF too. NFCW is still competitive between those two.

A tie helps the Giants' playoff chances  
RutgersGiantsFan : 12/4/2022 9:09 pm : link
Seattle and Detroit had the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Giants so this tie essentially erased that tiebreaker. If the Giants had lost today and gone 2-3 in their last 5 to finish 9-8, then Seattle would just need to win 2 out of their last 5 to finish ahead of the Giants since they have the head-to-head tiebreaker. But since the Giants tied, Seattle needs to win 3 of their last 5 since 9-7-1 puts them ahead of Seattle if Seattle only wins two more games.

Similarly, Detroit could afford to lose one more game to catch the Giants at 9-8 had the Giants lost. Now if the Giants finish 9-7-1, Detroit needs to win out to finish ahead of the Giants
