I agree win and they're in, pretty sure Joe Buck was talking nonsense when he said the Giants Strength of Schedule might catch them in the event of a 3-way tie.

IF the Saints lose to the Falcons...AND Tampa Bay then beat the Saints next week...AND the Giants beat Washington, then you *could* have a four-way tie with NO, TB, GB and NYG all ending 10-6. TB would squeeze out NO based on head to head in the division. It'd then be decided based on strength of victory (ordinarily 'common games' is the first deciding factor but that doesn't work with the teams involved, in this scenario). So there's a very slight chance that there's a permutation here that could see GB out (but consensus seems to be that GB have the SoV clincher anyway).
99.9% that if the Packers win, they're in.
Actually, looking at it again...IF the Saints lose to the Falcons...AND Tampa Bay then beat the Saints next week...AND the Giants beat Washington, then you *could* have a four-way tie with NO, TB, GB and NYG all ending 10-6. TB would squeeze out NO b
