Explaining the Panthers playoff scenarios

[Moorgan]

I just did a scenario where the Saints only lose to the Falcons and we still get the number one overall seed. I'm not sure how I did it and it's pretty unlikely. PHI loses out and I think the Rams have to lose to the Seahaks. Some other weird nonsense but we are the #1 seed with a 12-4 record. Minn is 2nd at 12-4.

I did a senario where I picked literally all the "safe picks" in every remaining game left in the regular season . Basically picking the teams that have just been better than the others thus far throughout the season for every matchup. 

We ended up getting the 5 seed and slotted to play at the Saints ugh. Theres alot of senarios where we play the saints in the wild card unfortunately. 

If Dallas wins out, they will be praying that we beat the Falcons in the last game of the season so they can sneak in and play the rams in the other wild card matchup.

I just did this and it had the falcons winning the division and the saints and Panthers as wild cards 

You sure? That's not what I got

Then why ask the question if you already know the answer? Haha.

What are you using to do yours? I guess ESPN's doesn't work cuz i just did it all again and came up with the same thing. I'm only picking the games for the Saints, panthers, falcons, and Seahawks though 

[Pantha-kun]

I did a senario where the falcons win out and we still make it as the #6 seed. Seahawks lost 2/3 (vs Rams vs Cowboys, very feasable to me) 

In this senario we play at the Rams in the WC in LA. And oddly enough , the Saints have to travel to Mercedes-Benz and play the Falcons .

Make the Rams only lose to the Hawks

Oh, ok. I think the rams are going to put it on the hawks though

That's the best thing that could happen for us

I can't imagine going to ATL week 17 in a win for the Division and lose out of the playoffs scenario. Doubt my heart could handle being there

could get the two seed this way If philly can go 2-1 down the strech. We have the H2H vs the vikings but not the other tiebreakers. We need philly to be at either 14-2 13-3 or they can loose out(doubtful) and we get the 1.
