Pumpkins Week 16 win eliminates the Giants and Redskins as the Pumpkins hold a tiebreaker over both (5-1 in NFC East, 2-0 against Redskins) whether or not it is a two-team or 3+ team tie for final wild card spot.

Packers earn home field through NFC with a win or Bucs loss

Buccaneers earn home field through NFC with a win and Packers loss

NFC West winner and Vikings are locked into the #4 and #5 seed respectively and will face off in the Wild Card round

Cowboys win NFC East with a win or Pumpkins loss

A Cowboys loss and Pumpkins win results in a Pumpkins NFC East crown

Pumpkins unquestionably clinch playoff spot with a win. However, I am pretty sure that they already have and are locked into the 6 seed. They have the Rams to thank for that. Because there is no scenario where the Rams match the Pumpkins record and not win the NFC West, the Rams win over the Pumpkins in Week 15 will come back to haunt the Pumpkins. Their only potential opponents are the Wildcats and Seahawks. In common games between Pumpkins and Wildcats, the Pumpkins will have gone at worst 3-2 (W vs Redskins x2, W vs Bears, L Rams, TBD Bucs) and Wildcats went (W/L vs Rams, W vs Bears, L vs Redskins, L vs Bucs). Pumpkins will go no worse than 7-5 in the NFC and the Seahawks no better than 6-6, so the Seahawks lose out on that tiebreaker.

Rams win and they win NFC West.

Rams lose, Wildcats win, Wildcats win NFC West no matter what the Seahawks do.

Rams lose, Wildcats lose, Seahawks win, Seahawks win NFC West

If all three teams lose, Rams should win NFC West due to division record eliminating Seahawks and common games record eliminating Wildcats.
