Re: 6th Place in the NFC Clusterfuck
Don't forget who (so far) would win tiebreakers, which complicates things.
DET: beat MIN, CHI (2x); lost to NYG, ARI, WAS, PHI; 4-5 NFC record
NO: has not lost or beaten any WC contender; 4-3 NFC record
ARI: beat DET; lost to WAS; 3-5 NFC record
MIN: beat CHI; lost to DET, PHI; 3-5 NFC record
WAS: beat ARI, DET; split with PHI; 3-5 NFC record
CHI: beat PHI; lost to DET (2x), MIN; 2-5 NFC record
PHI: beat DET, MIN; lost to CHI; split with WAS; 3-5 NFC record
Detroit is in good shape against its divisional foes, but in horrible shape against pretty much everyone else. They can't afford to end up tied with anyone except Chicago and (probably) Minnesota.
The rest is pretty much a cluster [censored] and will play itself out, as most of the teams play each other.
