REALLY Abbreviated Rooting Guide + Playoff Picture: 12/20

PrintAs we can see by looking at this incredibly helpful and cool website, the playoff race has simplified quite a bit. The Packers and the Cowboys currently hold both wild card spots, and the 49'ers and NY Giants are the only two teams still mathematically alive. It would take a minor miracle for the Niners to get in, and the Giants don't have a much better shot (given that Dallas looked pretty resurgent last night). I'm going to maintain my position that I'd rather play the Cardinals than the Eagles in the first round, so, with that in mind:
1. The Cardinals are in Detroit. They'll win anyways, but definitely root for the Cards to hold on to that #4 spot if you're of a similar mindset to me.
2. The 49'ers are in Philly. Root Eagles. This will secure the #3 spot for the Eagles, and eliminate the 49'ers.
3. The NY Giants are in DC to take on the 'Skins. Root Redskins. This Redskin victory, combined with a Packers win, would guarantee a Packers playoff berth. It would also, for all intents and purposes, eliminate the pesky Giants. It's a win-win, folks.
4. Go Pack Go!

Wow
The Dallas win last night officially knocked out Atlanta, Carolina, and (I think) Da Bears. Big game.

A Philly win will not secure them the #3 seed.
They have not even wrapped up the division.
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!
