Our Magic Numbers for Playoffs

[Tandy]

We have 7 games remaining. Our Magic Number for seeding is as follows:

1st - We control our own destiny for each of these wins meaning these are not dependant on any other team winning or losing. We win this number- we clinch that spot.


1st Seed (Wildcard Bye & Homefield all the way through) = 7 games

2nd Seed = 6 games (Wildcard Bye and Homefield Div guar w/Homefield NFCCG if #1 seed loses)

3rd Seed = 6 games

4th Seed = 6 games

Wildcard = 5 games


Those numbers denote that the teams vying for the same spot win every remaining game. Every game the Eagles, Packers, Saints Giants, Bucs and Bears lose may or may not give us additional wiggle room.


It's nice that we control our own destiny - let's hope we hold on to that!
