interesting notes from the above scenarios:

Det vs. GB winner gets a bye.
SEA MUST win to get a bye, or it goes to AZ or DALLAS

The AZ game is meaningless as soon as SEA is certain to win by taking a huge lead.

DALLAS game is meaningless.

DET vs GB loser is the #6 seed, plays at #3 seed. (likely to be Dallas)

Note: as soon as there is a tie involving the above teams, something changes! All of this assumes no ties.
