If cards and Vikings finish 9-7 who gets in??

[dinesh15]

Do we have a chance if we finish 9-7?? I still think we can win the last 3 and I feel confident that Vikings will lose atleast one more. so who gets in if we both finish 9-7???

Vikings have a better conference record and therefore would have the tie-breaker against us

Wouldn't it be different if Detroit was also 9-7?

 

[TheHopToad]

The Cards would win a three way tiebreaker if the Lions also finished at 9-7. Detroit owns the divisional advantage over Minnesota and we own head to head over Detroit.

Yes. Then Detroit would have the tie-breaker over Minn (due to better division record) and the Cards would have the tie-breaker over Detroit (due to our win over them head-to-head)

Therefore the Cards get into the playoffs.

 

[NYCARDS]

Those losses against the 9ers are becoming more painful each week.

Yes. Then Detroit would have the tie-breaker over Minn (due to better division record) and the Cards would have the tie-breaker over Detroit (due to our win over them head-to-head)

Therefore the Cards get into the playoffs.

however, Minnesota still has Chicago at home, and Detroit has GB on the road.

if Minnesota wins that game, and Detroit loses, they'd both be 3-3 in the division, and with a better conference record for Minnesota, that 3 way tie would become irrelevant

And, Detroit almost certainly wouldn't be tied with Minny in that case.

Minnesota is stepping up. You gotta hand it to them. Maybe they'll implode, but it's not looking too likely right now.

 

[NYCARDS]

Detroit is done- their schedule is too tough with Chargers and Packers still on the schedule. We need the Vikings to lose two more if we want a shot. Maybe Chicago a division rival playing on Monday night can do it? I dont see the Skins beating them the following week and we can hope that the Broncos want play the spoiler the last week and finish strong?

Im just as disappointed and disgusted with today's game but in the end most of us would have signed for even 8-8 at the beginning of the season.

 

[Scott MS]

9-7? Let's just hope for 8-8. A "non-losing" season.

I think in the event of a tie we should do paper/rock/scissors.
