If we don't win the division only 3 teams can knock us out of the wildcard.

I did something similar by hand this morning. The NFC race is down to 9 teams total

1. Seattle- they're in

2. New Orleans

3.Philly (if they beat Dallas in week 17 even if they lose week 16 the division is theirs).

4.Chicago(they have to win the division or tiebreakers will force them out of the entire race and can only win if Detorit does not win out)

5.Carolina(covered in op)

6.San Francisco(covered in op)

7. Arizona(covered in op)

8. Detorit(they own tiebreakers over the bears so if they tie or finish better than the bears they win the division)

9.Dallas(only way in for them is to win their division and they control their own destiny if they win out then they own the tiebreaker over Philly)

So you would have the 4 division winners and then it's down to us and AZ and SF as covered in depth by the op.

Only thing that is guaranteed is the first round byes will belong to the NFC South and West winners.

Just checked it on the ESPN and Yahoo playoff machines: a three way 11-5 tie has the Panthers at 5 and the Niners at 6.

 

can you run the numbers and find out the seeding if all three clubs finish 10-6 ?

 

i just noticed but in my Scenario 1 Case 2, i have SF and ARI advancing, and i think it should be CAR and SF.

So if the Panthers, 49ers and Cards all end up 11-5 who's in and what seed?

or i could just read the whole thread.

That's a tough one. However SF knocks them out for us due to tiebreakers and we'd have the 5 seed and SF would get the 6th seed.

I believe this to be true after reading the tie breaking procedures but it gets real weird cuz we have the tie breaker over SF and they have the tiebreaker of AZ and AZ has it over us.

Actually its really simple. If Arizona loses at Seatle both San Fran and Carolina are in the playoffs no matter their final record. So our Panthers could lose their final two and still get in. Same with the 9ers.

The only way Carolina doesn't get in is if Arizona wins out and San Fran wins in week 16 and we lose the next two.

This goes the same for the Saints and their wild card chances once they lose to the Panthers on Sunday. Cards lose and they are in no matter the out come of their final 2 games. But for the record, the Saints would be out if they lose out and the Cards win out. (I would love this!)

Basically the Cards Hawks game will determine the fate of half the contenders.

Another side note, the Panthers can still get the #1 seed. How? If Carolina and San Fran win out and Seatle loses out we are the #1 seed and San Fran takes #2. Seattle would be in with a wild card.

This is actually not true.  If the following happens, we do not make the playoffs

 

Panthers lose out:  finish at 10-6

Niners beat falcons but lose to cards:  Finish 11-5

Cards lose to the hawks but beat Niners:  Finish 10-6

 

In that instance, we are eliminated due to head to head vs zona.

 

If the panthers lose this week to the Saints, they go into the final week with their playoff hopes hanging in the balance.

 

For what it's worth, lets assume the cards lose to the seahawks and the niners beat the falcons.  Let's also (for this examples sake and by no means do I hope this happens) assume we lose to the saints.

 

The Panthers would need one of the following to happen in week 17 to clinch a wildcard:

 

-Win against the Falcons

-San Fran wins against the Cardinals
