When you start looking at the playoff picture you see a number of teams all kind of in the same range and with schedules that could lead to multiple additional losses.
Atlanta, could lose 3-4 of their remaining games.
Seattle, has a very tough schedule with 3-5 possible losses..
Green Bay- This team could go on a run or, could start dropping like flies beginning this weekend.
La Rams- not buying them as contenders and could see losses to Clev, Balt and SF- leaving them needing Was, NYG and NO to be wins..
TB- again, wins and losses evenly split.. 7-10 or 6-11 seems likely.
NYG- could lose out BUT, could also win 3-4 games.. It is crazy to think about but there is a way they could end up the seventh seed without anything wild or miraculous needed to make that happen.
If this plays out it will make the Jets and Bills games really sting.

And if DeVito plays well, you would see some eye brows start to be raised with another winnable game vs the Saints the following week.

Oh come on

Barring a tie, either GB or MIN are guaranteed one more win since they play each other. That either gets MIN to 7 or GB to 6 and both have winnable games. Even if GB loses to the Giants on MNF (doubtful) they have a home game vs TB and a road game at CAR before they play the Vikings, and finish the year at home vs. the Bears. They'll win 8 games at minimum.
Rams
Eagles
But if we win v GB, it allows us to retain hope for another week.
Of course I'd love to see Detroit win the NFC, but I don't see it happening.
Seattle could easily finish 8-9 since they have 6 losses and still play SF and Philly, and their head-to-head tiebreaker over the Giants probably won’t matter because it’s likely either the Rams will finish 8-9 and cover the Seahawks on the division tiebreaker or another team like the Packers or Saints who the Giants will have a head-to-head tiebreaker over will also finish 8-9 to shield the Giants from the Seahawks. Giants went 1-4 vs AFC, which is good because the worse the record is vs AFC, the better the record against the NFC will be in a tie. That means the Giants’ conference record will be superior to almost every team in a multi-way tie which is the most common tiebreaker used in multi-way ties since head to head is often not applicable.
If the Giants can find a way to win the next two, it will set up a very interesting final 3 weeks.
