Normally I don't venture into hypotheticals, plus in a year like this one, no game should be assumed that we'll win, especially after losing to Detroit and Chicago at home, so I get that, and I'm not going to just say we for sure get to this. But I just got one of those good feelings that it's going to play out this way.
Maybe because I just see the Cowboys struggles continue without Romo and think they're worse than both Chicago and Detroit under that circumstance and feel like our O could get away with not a great game and still beat them given our defensive strengths.
I feel like Oakland can't get pressure on opposing QBs and doesn't have any defenders to play man-defense with, and we got guys who can run the ball good on them. I'll assume both us and Minny lose to AZ, but then comes THE GAME to wrap the season up with at home against them. And perhaps in another dramatic fashion, we find a way to win this one. So take all that into consideration, I'd see the winner of the NFC North taking 3rd seed and playing a 6th seed team.
Right now, there are 5 teams realistically vying for that last seed: Seattle, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Chicago, and NY Giants (I'll assume Washington stays ahead and wins the East). Which of these teams would we want?
I'm going to lean towards Atlanta as our most favorable and Seattle as our least favorable but that's just me.
