State Of The NFC South Entering Week 13 - The Road To The Playoffs

I was messing around with playoff machine a bit yesterday and was surprised about the 7th seed. It’s not that unlikely that we can get it. There were a few scenarios where we got the 7th seed even losing a game. (Tampa or greenbay). Losing to the rams makes it difficult for the seventh seed based on remaining games. Washington currently holds the 7th seed only 2 games ahead of us with some difficult games left. They lose the tie breaker to us assuming we win that game. Philly wins the east, lions the north and either cards or Seahawks the west. Vikings and green bay get the 5th and 6th seeds. If we don’t win the division the seventh seed is us, Tampa, Washington, rams, niners, Dallas, and seahawks or cards. Two of the teams are 2 games ahead of us the rest or only one game ahead. Assuming we keep winning we will own tiebreakers over Dallas, Washington, rams, and possibly Tampa. Easiest path is division winner but the 7th seed is very much in play.
