Right now Dallas is 8-3 with Seahawks, Eagles, Bills, @Miami, Lions, @Commanders remaining.
Vikings 6-5: Bears, bye, @Raiders, @Burrow-less Bengals, Lions, Packers, @Lions remaining
Dallas obviously has the much harder schedule, but even if they go like 2-4 and the Vikings finish 4-2 which both feel like the most realistic optimistic scenario, we’re still tied at 10-7 and then it would come down to NFC teams winning percentage. Dallas is currently 5-3 and Minnesota is 6-2. Both have 4 games against NFC opponents remaining. Its do-able, but we will need some help.
I can’t decide if I should root for Seattle to beat Dallas to make the above possibility more likely or if we should just accept its much more likely get the 6th seed and we should root for Seattle to drop off more?
Look at any sports betting book and you’ll get an idea of where we’re at in likelihood. When seeking answers in sports, look who will put their money on being right and you’ll have the right answer, more often than not.
