I say this because i do feel the saints will pull off two wins. If the giants go then we are out in that situation. But if the giants lose to buffalo (i think they will) and they lose to New England, they are 9-7. We both split head to head, we both are 3-3 in the division and we both split in conference play. We will have tie breaker over minni if we beat them and win out. So would it be us and the saints???? Or is there some kind of 3 way/4 way tie shit that messes us up?
Not as many "ifs" up there as it seems... Basically, if the saints win out; do we have any shot.

In that scenario we would hold the tiebreakers over New York and Minnesota. We would lose in the tiebreaker to New Orleans (conference record). Saints would go in as they #5 and the Skins would go in as the #6.
The third tiebreaker is common games (after head-to-head and division record), which only comes into play when there are 4 or more common opponents, the Redskins and Giants share 12 common games (not including head-to-head).
Giants: lost to Dallas twice (0-2), lost to Green Bay (0-3), beat Philly twice (2-3), beat the Jets (3-3), beat Miami (4-3), beat Detroit (5-3), lost to Minnesota (5-4), beat Chicago (6-4), and in your scenario would lose to Buffalo and New England (6-6).
Redskins: Beat Miami (1-0), split with Philly (2-1), beat Detroit (3-1), lost to Green Bay (3-2), lost to New England (3-3), beat the Jets (4-3), lost to Buffalo (4-4), beat Chicago (5-4), and in your scenario they would beat Minnesota and split with Dallas (7-5).
