If we can just get in, I still think we can do some damage. None of the other NFC teams overwhelm me. Not even Seattle.

 

I wonder what the early line on the Falcon game is. It could be a pickum? No more than 2 points either way

 

I'll remember to bump this thread in January.

 

The Falcons are eliminated now, so maybe they will not play hard against us............... Ok probably not gonna happen.

 

Playoff clinching scenarios for Sunday and for Week 17 (note: there are other clinching scenarios based on teams losing games that will be updated at a later date).

AFC East

• The Patriots have clinched the AFC East.

AFC North

• The Bengals have clinched the AFC North.

• The Steelers can clinch a playoff spot with:
1. A win
2. A Chiefs loss or tie
3. A Chargers win (note: although Chargers have been eliminated, if they win vs. Broncos and they, the Chiefs and the Steelers all finish at 10-6, you would break division ties first. Chargers would win tiebreaker vs. Chiefs based on common opponents (8-4 vs 7-5) and that would eliminate the Chiefs. They would then go to tiebreaker vs. Steelers, which Pittsburgh would win based on its head-to-head win vs. Chargers)

Wish you were playing. The Panthers have been overwhelmed in most of their losses and a few of their wins.

 

Even if we lose can we not clinch a playoff spot with a Dallas loss?

We hold the tie breaker over the Vikings and everybody from there down is eliminated
