The NFC Playoff race has been crazy. . and there's also a crazy Week 16 scenario to wrap it all up.
Here's how I see it:
1. Carolina (14-1) (Clinched top seed)
2. Arizona (10-5) (will drop to seed 3 with a loss & GB Win.)
3. Green Bay (9-6) (will drop to seed 6 with loss to 0-15 Detroit, and Chicago win.)
4. Washington (8-7) (Clinched NFC East)
5. Atlanta (11-4) (Clinched 1st wild card spot)
6. New Orleans (9-6) (Will lose playoff spot with a loss in week 16 to 14-1 Carolina + a Chicago win.
As Chicago would own the tie-breaker at 9-7 due to a head to head victory in week 10.
This can't be correct. Are you telling me I still have a shot at a bye? Never would have imagined that.
Come on whoever Arizona is playing!
I completely over-looked St. Louis. Everything else was correct.
I needed a win + STL loss to get in, as they had the tie-breaker with me (Chicago) due to head-to-head victory. And they had the tie-breaker vs New Orleans by way of a better division record.
Really rough break for Buf 12-4 i had no ideal how the tie breakers were going to fall over here. 7 team with 11 wins or more is tough. Buff was in a loaded division and my losses were all to division champs. Either way a good team was going to be done.

Definitely feel for them. They had a great season and deserve a spot in the playoffs. On the flip side, I'm really pulling for St. Louis to come up with two big upsets in a row. I kinda feel stuck in the second tier right now. I can put together a winning gameplan against anybody in the league, except for Carolina. They keep kicking my *** and I'm out of ideas. I'd like to avoid them, so go STL! Leave that city on a high note!
