What they have to do is to avoid throwing in any clunkers in against those teams they should beat...

If you chart us to lose twice to the Cowboys and once the the Giants, is ten wins going to get it done? What if Arizona takes the west and then Seattle wins ten games?

Actually, we'd hold the tiebreaker.

I stand corrected of my own logic, ten wins would get it done. As far as taking the WC goes, those victories over Arizona and Detroit were huge.

I don't think we are going to beat the Jets, because I don't think this team is healthy enough just yet, and I don't think we are going to beat the Vikings. However, I do see us beating the Giants, and taking care of Dallas at home on the seasons final week.

Same ten wins, but we should finish tied with or ahead of the Giants, who still have New England, Dallas, and Philadelphia on their schedule.
