Default 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.
