Indeed, I follow the tie breakers very closely and I think this week was literally perfect for the Vikings with the exception of ATL losing to SD.
NO losing to TB was good because we (CHI, GB & MIN) want TB to win the division since they have the H2H tiebreaker with all 3 of us.
NYG beat WAS which keeps WAS within striking distance for MIN if they need a wildcard and MIN currently has the tiebreaker over WAS.
Then of course CAR beating GB was helpful for MIN getting the division title because it pushed GB back 2 games instead of one, but had CAR lost it would have helped open the wild card up even wider. So both were decent outcomes with the GB loss being the preferable of the two.
And finally the Vikings beating the Bears, which is obviously good for the Vikings =P
Next week I'm hoping for this:
- TB@CAR
- DAL@PIT
- WAS@BAL
- PHI@NYG
- ATL@NO
- JAX@CHI
- HOU@GB
- MIN@DET
I think all of those outcomes are at least possible. With PIT, BAL, NYG, & MIN all being very likely.
If I were going to predict the winners I'd only change ATL, CHI, & GB. I don't think NO, JAX, or HOU are going to get the job done for MIN but I'd be happy with one of the three.
