Lions get the No. 1 NFC seed if…

  • Lions beat 49ers + Packers beat Vikings (LIons/Vikings outcome doesn’t matter)
  • Lions beat 49ers + Lions tie Vikings
  • Lions lose to 49ers + Vikings lose to Packers + Lions tie Vikings + Eagles lose 1 remaining game (Cowboys, Giants)
  • Lions beat Vikings

Lions get the No. 2 NFC seed if…

  • Lions lose to 49ers + Vikings lose to Packers + Lions/Vikings tie + Eagles win final 2 games

Lions get No. 5 NFC seed if…

  • Lions lose to 49ers + Vikings beat/tie Packers + Lions and Vikings tie
  • Lions lose to Vikings + Vikings beat/tie Packers

If Vikings lose to Packers

  • Lions beat 49ers = 1 seed
  • Lions tie 49ers + Lions tie Vikings = 1 seed
  • Lions tie 49ers + Lions beat Vikings = 1 seed
  • Lions tie 49ers, Lions lose to Vikings = 5 seed
  • Lions lose to 49ers, beat Vikings in Week 18 = 1 seed
  • Lions lose to 49ers, lose to Vikings = 5 seed
  • Lions lose to 49ers, tie Vikings + Eagles win out = 2 seed

Obviously we all want the #1 seed… But all the wildcard teams should want that 5th seed. Currently the 5th seed gets to play the barely over .500 Falcons with a rookie qb on start number 3 or 4 of his career. Whoever gets the 5th seed is in good shape IMO

Great observation.

That won’t come into play if Tampa wins their division. Mayfield is having a great year.

Right but somehow the Falcons beat the Bucs twice. So if they have the same record, Falcons win the division. Difference between 5th and 6th seed is pretty big.

Kind of a long winded breakdown.

Kind of redundant but looks at scenarios from both sides.

I remember the days where we used to lose two games in a row… Now it’s starting to turn more into the days where we used to lose one game in a row.

This year we win
Next year we pillage and raid While fielding the most dominant NFL team the league has ever seen
