Al Michaels on the 'Skins-Giants tie-breaker

[BringBackJoeT]

As we all know, if we win out, we make the playoffs IF the Saints lose one of their last two games ("winning out" would include beating the Vikings, who would therefore only be able to finish at best 9-7, which would tie us, and we would have the tie-breaker by virtue of beating them). However, Al Michaels pointed out last night that there is the possibility that the Giants could lose their last two games (they play in Buffalo, and then at home against the Pats, who will most likely be playing for the 16-0 record). In making his comment, he said that if the Giants and Redskins finished 9-7, the Redskins would win the tie-breaker. If we both do finish 9-7, we'll end up with identical conference records, identical division records, and we will have split the two games we played each other. What comes next? Common opponents?

Sorry if this question was answered in the playoff thread last week.
