Last 5 and 6 games for NFC playoff spots

Moab · Nov 19, 2019

Should be an awesome spectacle these last 6 weeks. While the 5 teams outside of the NFC East winner will jockey for position, they all have games with each other and it's going to be awesome.

San Fran 9-1
Green Bay
@ Baltimore
@ New Orleans
Atlanta
LA Rams
@ Seattle

They appear to have the most difficult schedule going forward. 4 of their last 6 are against playoff teams, Atlanta suddenly seems to have a pulse and the Rams are a division game which usually are tough.

Seattle 8-2
@ Philly
Minnesota
@ LA Rams
@ Carolina
Arizona
San Fran

While they're a game behind San Fran in their division, their schedule doesn't appear as daunting. 2 of their final 6 are against sure playoff teams, Philly is in the hunt for their division then 2 division games.

New Orleans 8-2
Carolina
@ Atlanta
San Fran
Indy
@ Tenn
@ Carolina

The one game against San Fran seems to be the big one here. The rest of their games are in division and with 2 AFC teams. This might keep them out of the fray and take home the 1 seed. None of their games appear to be against bad teams, but only the San Fran games appears to be against a playoff team, but 3 of their games are in their division.

Green Bay 8-2
@ San Fran
@ NY Giants
Washington
Chicago
@ Minnesota
@ Detroit

They get San Fran and Minny for playoff bound teams, both on the road. They do get 2 of the bad teams in Washington and the Giants, then the Lions and Bears.

Minnesota 8-3
bye
@ Seattle
Detroit
@ LA Chargers
Green Bay
Chicago

Seattle and Green Bay are the playoff teams they play, @ Seattle and Green Bay at home. The other 3 are against middle of the road teams, but teams that aren't awful.

It looks to me like we'll get some important games from the NFC heading into the playoffs....should be awesome.

Great time of the season for sure.

I think Seattle and GB will be the top seeds in the conference. SF isn't playing as well as they were in Oct, and their remaining schedule is the toughest of the bunch.

The way I see it, New Orleans will get the top seed at 13-3 or 12-4. The other 4 will probably be the 2, 3, 5 and 6. It will all come down to who beats who in the games they play each other. Minny vs Seattle and Green Bay, Green Bay vs San Fran and Minny, San Fran vs GB, NO, and Seattle, and Seattle vs Minny and San Fran.

It's hard for me to see GB finishing worse than 13-3. They have 2 challenging games and 4 cakewalks. They'll win at least 1 of the 2 tough ones.

Seattle has a tough road, but they already passed that 1st test by beating SF on the road. Philly doesn't look like a true heavyweight, and playing at home vs Minn in prime time is a winning situation.

The Saints have some interesting divisional matchups ahead. Atlanta is playing way better lately, and they already smoked NO in NO.

Moab · Nov 19, 2019

Looking ahead...
This week we get Seattle at Philly and Green Bay at San Fransisco
Week13 we get San Fransisco @ Baltimore and Minnesota @ Seattle
Week 14 we get San Fransisco @ New Orleans
Week 15 none of the above play each other.
Week 16 we get Green Bay @ Minnesota, plus Cowboys @ Eagles for the East
Week 17 closes out with San Fransisco @ Seattle.

I guess week 15 or Sunday the 15th is the weekend to do stuff with family for the holidays. Maybe Texans/Titans or Bill/Steelers...it doesn't look pretty right now...but that could change in a hurry

I'm a Packer's fan for 50 years and there is no such thing as a cake walk...especially for this team...which is quite frankly over achieving... so far

Bears, Lions, Redskins, Giants. Just about every other team except maybe NE would trade.

Philly and Dallas also battle it out for the NFC East...

Philly 5-5
Seattle
@ Miami
Giants
@ Washington
Dallas
@ Giants

Dallas 6-4
@ New England
Buffalo
@ Chicago
Rams
@ Philly
Washington

Dallas has a 1 game lead but Philly has 4 games against what could be 4 of the worst teams in the NFL. Dallas only has 1 game against one of the really bad teams, Washington.

If Philly overtakes Dallas for the East title, does Jerry fire Garrett? Is this actually a silver lining for Dallas fans?

Nice post, good finish definitely coming down the stretch, this is always the fun part of the NFL season...

ROMOTOOWENS · Nov 19, 2019

I don’t think they will but it is very possible that Philly could run the table.

rmilia1 · Nov 19, 2019

SF would be feeling a lot better if theyd just taken the tie vs Seattle . Gonna come back to bite them i think

I think Garrett is gone unless Dallas plays in the conference championship.

Week #16 I believe will dictate which team wins the East.

Dr. Strangelove · Nov 20, 2019

You know what team is flying slightly under the radar but could run the table and win it all is the Vikings. Kirk Cousins could pull a Joe Flacco. Their bye week is at the perfect time here too. They get to sit and watch the other play-off contenders knock each other down and control their own destiny.

my off the radar team is the Colts.
While they arent spectacular in any part of the team.
Any given game they can control both sides the trenches, which could make them very sneaky.

Yeah, when they have things working, those big guys can really control a game. Have to see how long Mack is out though. The other RBs will have to step up.

They need Hilton back soon too.
