It might be too early to get into all the tiebreakers, but the bottom line is that if the Redskins win the four conference games left they would be all but guaranteed the Wild Card. That would give them a 9-3 conference record and 4-2 division record. That would give them the tiebreaker over any non-division opponent for the Wild Card save Atlanta (who could end up with a 9-3 conference record as well). It would also give them the tiebreaker over Philadelphia in division. It would then come down to common games with Atlanta (Detroit, St. Louis, Philadelphia, New Orleans I think) and Dallas (14 games), assuming all finished with the same record. Bottom line, Seattle is a huge game this week and one of the four most important games left (and also why it sucks so much that they lost to St. Louis ... would have rather lost to Cleveland).
