[BrudLee]

I got this info from a Skins Blog (http://theredskinreport.blogspot.com/).

Games that concern the Redskins:
NY Giants at Oakland
Carolina at Atlanta
New Orleans at Tampa Bay
Washington at Philadelphia
St. Louis at Dallas

Tiebreaker Formulas:
Division Tiebreakers (that apply to the Redskins):
1) Head to Head (2-0 vs. Dallas)
2) Division Record (Win vs. Philly, Wash 5-1, NYG 4-2)
Conference Ties
1) Division Tiebreakers
2) Head to Head Games (Washington 0-1 vs. Tampa Bay)
3) Conference Record (Wash 9-2; TB 8-3; NYG 8-4; Car 7-4, Dal 7-4)
4) Common Games (Minimum of 4)
5) Strength of Victory (Washington takes this one easily)
6) Strength of Schedule (Washington again takes this easily)

Washington finishes 4th in the conference if:
Washington wins
NY Giants loses

The Skins would host:
Tampa Bay: If Carolina wins, Tampa Bay loses, and Dallas loses.
Carolina: If Carolina wins and Tampa Bay wins.
NY Giants: If Carolina and Tampa Bay both lose.
Dallas: If Dallas wins and Carolina wins and Tampa Bay loses or Dallas wins, Carolina loses, and Tampa Bay wins

Washington finishes 5th in the conference if:
Washington wins.
NY Giants wins.
Carolina loses.

The Skins would then travel to:
Tampa Bay: if Tampa Bay loses.
NY Giants: If Tampa Bay wins.

Washington finishes 6th in the conference if:
Washington wins
NY Giants wins
Carolina wins
OR
Washington loses
Dallas loses

And the Skins would then travel to play:
Tampa Bay: If Tampa Bay wins.
NY Giants: If Giants win and Tampa Bay loses.
Carolina: If Washington loses, Giants lose, Tampa Bay loses.
