Redskins clinch the Division with a win next week against Philly.

[Impy]

I would never figure the Redskins would be controlling their own destiny this late in the season. I had Dallas first and them last, instead...

[Jeff Chandler]

[Impy]

Go Cards!

[campaignPete R-CT]

sKINS clinch the division with a win vs DAL and a Philly loss vs NYG

[campaignPete R-CT]

and Philly controls its own destiny.

they have the 8-8 tiebreaker vs. WA & NYG
and the 7-9 tiebreaker vs. WA & NYG

[campaignPete R-CT]

PT has 10 game lead vs NYJ on SOV

14 to play, yet 6 are head to head
Jets can, thus, gain 8 games

would leave them 2 behind 10 minus 8 is 2.

therefore PITT has clinched SOV and tiebreak vs NYJ

[Bender2]

Re: GO... CARDS!

Has a nice ring to it... Imp--

Like an old time Chicago Cardinals... vs Dallas Texans match in Super Bowl 50--

Now that surely can happen... if I drink enough!

TOTAL IS 22. MAX IS 27. COULD GO TO SOS (SOD), WHERE INDY HAS A SLIGHT LEAD

that 3 game lead by HOUS is almost insurmountable.
HOUS VERY LIKELY TO HAVE THE 8-8 TIE

[Perdogg]

Why is NY ahead of Philly this morning? Is this a typo in the standings?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

To quote a rather famous radio guy, “The Philadelphia media has a vested interest...”

Bill Belichick sings 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' | New England Patriots

So damn funny

[dfwgator]

I thought the Skins have the tie-breaker over the Giants because of a better Conference record.

[campaignPete R-CT]

at this point it is conference record, yes.
WASH-3

http://espn.go.com/nfl/standings
ESPN HAS PHILLY IN 2ND PLACE.

nyg WASH ... SPLIT HEAD TO HEAD WOULD BE 3-3 DIV.
8-8 2-0 UNCOMMON AND 6-8 COMMON ..... FOR BOTH TEAMS

GOES TO CONF RECORD
8-8 7-5 CONF FOR WASH
8-8 6-6 CONF FOR NYG

THE 3 WAY TIE:
ALL 3 TEAMS ARE 2-2 HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH THE OTHER 2

PHIL 7-9, 3-3 div, 0-2 uncommon, 7-7 common
NYG 7-9, 3-3 div, 2-0 uncommon, 5-9 common
WASH 7-9, 2-4 div, 0-2 uncommon, 7-7 common

PHILLY TAKES THE 7-9 OVER NYG DUE TO BETTER COMMON GAMES RECORD
PHIL-4

[campaignPete R-CT]

YEA, I HAD the “2” on the tiebreakers to remind myself NYG trailed in DIV record and couldn’t get to 4-2 division record.

should now be
WASH-3

AND

PHIL-4

AND PHIL HAS TIEBREAKER OVER WASH.
unless the game is tied this saturday

[Impy]

Bad news, no Honey Badger. Injured when he should have been out late in last night’s game.

[Impy]

Hahahhahaha

[campaignPete R-CT]

12-3 thus far for the week. pour moi

it was an easy week with few upsets?
