Copied max and made my own spreadsheet. I cancelled out the teams we had in common but came up with the same results: Rams have 4 more SOV wins than Seattle.

Rams:
Raiders 3
Vikings 13
Saints 5
Bills 12
Niners 6
Total: 39

Hawks:
Broncos 9
Dolphins 7
Falcons 8
Bears 4
AZ 7
Total: 35

The Bears and AZ have to lose next week for our scenario to happen and Rams/Seattle will cancel each other out both ending the year with 10 wins.

Two weeks to go.

Had SF beaten Miami today, our lead would be 6 games...

or if the bears beat the Hags on Thursday night

and we beat AZ on Saturday night, we win the division.

Bucs lose.

The Rams are the #3 seed and control their destiny.

I'd rather have the 4th seed (likely Vikings then Lions) than 3rd (likely GB and PHI). GB in LA would be a huge "road" game, and I'd rather take our chances in a dome against a team we've taken to the wire twice there than in the cold getting smashed with the run by Barkley again.

Well then lets hope the Bears beat the Hags and we beat AZ to win the division.

While the Lions lose at least one more against the Vikes on week 18 and Minny wins their next two games.

Then we lose our last game against the Hags,

Then TB wins their last two games and ATL loses at least one of their last two games.


Then we would play the Lions at Sofi, and we beat them and then at Minny.

Yes, this is absolutely true.

We can pick up another opponents win if the Saints win tonight. That will put us up 5.

My assessment is if we beat AZ and Sea beats CHI, we will be up at least 5 going into week 18. But it’s possible SEA can get within striking distance if every game goes their way.

The most SEA can pick up in week 18 with a win over us is 3, so if we are 4 or more going into week 18, then it’s over in week 17.

And if they don't beat the Bears Thursday and we win Saturday night, it over. I wonder if McVay has placed a call to Thomas Brown?

Just want playoffs, but No 3 all the way. I want the Packers at home.

I want No. 3 too!

And just like last time - I do not want to play the Lions until it's totally unavoidable.


For now though - beat the Cards!!

Full tie-breaking list. I see people (who are not Rams or Hawks fans) hoping the two teams tie and it comes down to a coin toss.
