That's because we would be tied with Dallas in the first two tie-breakers and Dallas would beat us out on the third tie-breaker which is W-L-T in Common Games. All four remaining games for both Dallas and the Skins are against common opponents and, at the moment, Dallas is ahead of us in wins against common opponents.

Essentially, we may need to beat Dallas in the last game of the season. I'm thinking that we'll need to go at least 3-1, including a win over Dallas, in the final four games and hope that the Giants go 2-2 in order for us to win the division.

I don't thiink that our chances are as good to win the second wildcard over Seattle, Tama Bay, or Minnesota. Either Chicago or GB will almost certainly be the first wildcard, IMO.

Of course, the most important game is always the current game, so back to the Ravens. I think we can beat them but it should be a close game. If we can somehow manage to score three touchdowns without turning over the ball more than once, I think we'll win.

Redskins 24, Ravens 20.

Even though we hold the tie-breaker over all of them?
