Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 984777">In my opinion it's wishful thinking that the Cowboys won't rest a lot of starters in week 18 against the Commanders if they're guaranteed to enter the playoffs as the fifth seed.One thing that's interesting is that while the Packers only need the Commanders to lose another game to make the playoffs if they win out the Lions would need the Seahawks to lose another one as well to clinch a playoff spot by winning their last two games.Let's hope the Eagles lose to the Saints this week as they would possibly have to win in week 18 to secure the division.The Giants will secure a playoff spot with a win over the Colts this week though. Therefore their week 18 game against the Eagles will be irrelevant for the Packers. As others have mentioned I believe the Browns will play for the jobs next season, making them a dangerous opponent for the Commanders this week. Hopefully.The Niners are guaranteed to win a tiebreaker with the Vikings if both teams end up tied.The Vikings still have playoff seeding to play for at this point.Don't get me wrong, the Cowboys could still defeat the Commanders by playing several backups in week 18 but the chances would be significantly smaller than if they had something to play for.While that's true it's highly unlikely though.</blockquote>
