2. A Carolina win, combined with an Atlanta loss or tie.

3. A Carolina loss, combined with a Dallas loss, plus a Philadelphia loss or tie.

4. An Atlanta loss, combined with a Dallas loss, plus a Washington loss or tie.

5. An Atlanta loss, combined with a Dallas loss, plus a Chicago loss or tie.

I hope we can get the win against Denver but it sure would be nice to see the Giants and Bucs lose even if it means we don't lock up a spot in the playoffs this coming week.
