here are the details on the 10-6 three-way tiebreaker common games for TB-GB-NYG:

GB vs. TB common (ATL DET WA SF)
TIE, GB 2-3, TB 2-3

NYG vs. TB common (CAR WA DET SEA)
NYG 5-0, TB 4-1

NYG VS. GB UNCOMMON conference (SF ATL)
GB 1-1, NY 2-0
NYG has the uncommon conference so GB HAS COMMON conference 7-3 to 6-4. (None of the non-conference games are common.)

BUT NY-GB-TB HAS ONLY 3 COMMON games, and a minimum of 4 is needed ... so it goes to S.O.V. GB has a total lock on S.O.V.
