2022 NFL Week 16 NFC Kayfabe and Political Rankings

Monday night:  Chargers vs. Indy, so the NFC is done.

Kayfabe/Actual:

NFC East:  Philadelphia is 13-2.  Dallas is 11-4.  The Giants are 8-6-1.  The Commanders, 7-7-1.

NFC North:  Minnesota is division champions at 12-3.

NFC South:  Tampa Bay is 7-8, Carolina and New Orleans are 6-9.  Atlanta has forgotten the cardinal rule.

NFC West:  San Francisco is 11-4.

1. PHI (13-2, NFC East leaders, IN PLAYOFFS.  Magic number for the 1 seed is 1.  A win or losses by Dallas, San Francisco, and Minnesota gets it done.  They lose the division tiebreaker if they lose out and Dallas wins out.  They lose the conference record tiebreaker is they lose out and SF wins out.  They lose outright if they lose out and MIN wins out, but win any tiebreaker with MIN alone.)
2. MIN (12-3, NFC NORTH CHAMPIONS)
3. SF (11-4, NFC WEST CHAMPIONS)
4. TB (7-8, NFC Suck Leaders)
5. DAL (11-4, IN PLAYOFFS)
6. NYG (8-6-1)
7. WAS (7-7-1)

Detroit, Green Bay, and Seattle are 7-8, and I'm just getting an impression as to where this might go.

Political:

1) Dallas

They just bring more to the table in a political sense than Philly, but I think it's clear that's the matchup the NFL wants to replay on January 29th.

2) Philadelphia

3) Minnesota

Eleven one-score wins, six Cliffhangers.

4) San Francisco

Do not underestimate this backup plan!

Wild Card #7 Seed)  Green Bay

Green Bay vs. Minnesota on January 14th, 15th, or 16th.

DUD OF THE WEEK:

A bucket of Nickelodeon slime and the win goes to:

THE ARIZONA CARDINALS, who did a quit job in the middle game today.  What the FUCK was that?
