I know anything can happen, but Cowboys and Packers are divsion winners and the West and South divisions will probably finish 7-9 or worse. Winning 4 of 7 will probably earn a berth and then we'll face Packers or Cowboys.

I predicted last week that 9-7 will be good enough for a wild card. With Detroit's tough schedule - I don't see them winning more than 9 games and we own the tie break over them. It also helped that the Saints and Panthers lost. A wildcard for the Skins is still a decent possibility if they start taking care of their own business.
