tl;dr Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 If I'm correct, we clinch a playoff berth with a win next week. We would be 10-6 at worst if we win next week. Washington is at best 9-6-1, so they won't jump us and Green Bay won't jump us for the obvious H2H reason. So one more win and we are in the playoffs. Also, we can clinch at least the 3 seed next week: ATL win + TB loss +DET loss But very good thread. I enjoyed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tl;dr Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 1 minute ago, PriMeTiiMe said: Detroit wins a tiebreaker over us if we both finish 10-6 in wildcard. We need them to lose to Dallas if we want to clinch a spot this week. Thing is, Detroit is 9-5 right now. They are currently in the playoffs. If they lose to the Packers and we lose to the Saints, we would be tied in the common games department. But our SOV is higher than their's, so we have that tiebreaker over them so we would go to the playoffs. If Detroit beats Green Bay, then they would win the division, so they wouldn't be competing with us for a WC spot. Instead a 10-6 Falcons team would be competing with a 9-7 Green Bay team and an at best 9-6-1 Washington team. So we only need one more win and we clinch.

Yeah I checked the scenario last week and for some reason it had Detroit in over us. Now when I plug it in it has us over them. Thanks for the correction. I Updated it.

If we lose our last 2 and Detroit ends up tied with us at 9-7 having also lost their last 2 they get in over us and Packers obviously win the North. Does those 2 losses change the Common Games tiebreaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does those 2 losses change the Common Games tiebreaker? We would be tied with common games at 3-2. Must mean our SOV tanks or something while their's increases. If we lose both of these last 2, we don't deserve to be in the playoff tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JermareATL Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 If we don't win the last regular season game in the dome against the Aints, I'll be extremely upset. We should win both the next two games though, so I'm not worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
