[QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 125192, member: 145"] [b]Re: An Eagles Victory tomorrow night would help Packer's Cha[/b] Because the two teams have not played head-to-head, would have the same conference records (7-5) and would have the same record against common opponents (1-4), [size=18]it would come down to strength of victory (the combined record of the opponents a team has beaten). [/size] New York has a considerable lead in that department but a victory over the Bears would greatly enhance Green Bay's numbers. [color=red]There are a few scenarios in which Green Bay can overcome the Giants, but it will take some luck. [/color] Basically, the Packers will be cheering for the Miami Dolphins to win tonight against the New York Jets and Sunday against Indianapolis. Then if the Giants beat Washington, the Packers would also want Detroit to beat Dallas, Seattle to beat Tampa Bay, Cleveland to beat Houston, Carolina to beat New Orleans, San Francisco to beat Denver and, of course, the Vikings to beat the Rams. The Packers wouldn't necessarily need all those outcomes to occur, but a good number of them would be necessary in overcoming their deficit in strength of victory. [color=red]Three-way tie: The Packers can actually overcome a head-to-head deficit with St. Louis this way. [/color] If the Packers tied with the Rams and Atlanta or Carolina they would win a tie-breaker based on a superior conference record over the other two. Were they to tie with the Giants and any of the other three teams, they would wind up in the strength of victory tie-breaker with New York for the final spot. The others would be eliminated because the Packers and Giants have a superior conference record at 7-5. [/QUOTE]
