PFT.com + Packers

[Zero2Cool]

Here at http://profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm they had the top scenario listed as the giants win, the packers win the packers are in the playoffs.

That's not accurate, at all. So I emailed them this.

Here is what I have figured out. It is confusing. You should see my notebook though lol





Giants have to lose for the Packers to get in. If the Packers tie with them, Packers are edged out by Strength of Victory



The Giants control the Packers destiny nearly as much as the Rams.
Giants win strength of victory over the Packers. Unless a miracle, well 11 miracles happen.



For the Packers to edge the Giants in SoV. They need the following outcomes.



Lions
beat Cowboys

Vikings
beat Rams

Cardinals
beat Chargers

Dolphins
beat Colts

49ers
beat Broncos


Packers
beat Bears

Giants
beat Redskins

Falcons
beat Eagles

Seahawks
beat Buccaneers

Browns
beat Texans

Saints
beat Panthers



If that were to happen, the Packers SoV would be 0.4140625 and The Giants would be 0.40625.


Basically, if the Giants win, they are in.

If Rams win and Giants lose.
Falcons OR Panthers have to win to force a three way tie in which the Rams would be eliminated as their NFC conf record would be only 6 - 6 and the Packers would be 7 - 5. If neither Falcons or Panthers win and the Rams win, Packers are OUT.


If Rams lose and Giants lose, Packers are in. Neither the Falcons nor the Panthers hold a tie breaker advantage nor head to head advantage.

you need to look at playoff scenarios on NFL.com.

I replied.

I did. I also looked at the tie breakers.











Here is what is at NFL.com playoff scenarios.



NFC NORTH DIVISION
Chicago has clinched home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.

Green Bay can clinch playoff berth with:

1) GB win + NYG win + GB clinches strength of victory tiebreaker over NYG, OR
2) GB win + NYG loss or tie + STL loss or tie, OR
3) GB win + NYG loss or tie + CAR win, OR
4) GB win + NYG loss or tie + ATL win, OR
5) GB tie + NYG loss + STL loss + ATL loss or tie + CAR loss or tie







GB win PLUS Giants WIN PLUS SoV … it doesn’t say the packers HAVE SoV already. If you look at the Giants it says something similar for them.





NFC EAST DIVISION
Dallas has clinched playoff berth.

Dallas can clinch division with:

1) DAL win + PHI loss or tie, OR 2) DAL tie + PHI loss

Philadelphia has clinched playoff berth.

Philadelphia can clinch division with:

1) PHI win, OR
2) DAL loss, OR
3) PHI tie + DAL tie

New York Giants can clinch playoff berth with:

1) NYG win + NYG clinch strength of victory tiebreaker over GB, OR
2) NYG win + GB loss or tie, OR
3) NYG tie + GB loss or tie + STL loss or tie + ATL loss or tie + CAR loss or tie, OR
4) GB loss + STL loss + ATL loss + CAR loss









As you can see. Both teams can not have the SoV tie breaker so they are saying it is something that has to happen.

Few minutes later. I refreshed PFT.com and no longer did it say Giants win, Packers win, the Packers are in. That was removed. Then got another email.

It IS possible for the Packers to make it if the Giants win. They CAN finish ahead of the Giants in strength of victory. It is just not very likely.

 

[umair]

i THINK they can but alot of teams have to lose. (i think)
