This has happened before. Remember the 7-9 Seahawks who won the NFCW? Their Week 17 game against the Rams that year was a "win you're in, lose you're out" game for tiebreaker reasons. That is probably what will happen this year. I don't think a 5-11 division winner is possible, but would be surprised if anybody wins eight games.

Here are the current standings and remaining schedules (home games in bold):

Saints (4-7) Steelers. Panthers, Bears, Falcons, Buccaneers

Falcons (4-7) Cardinals, Packers, Steelers, Saints, Panthers

Panthers (3-7-1) Vikings, Saints, Buccaneers, Browns, Falcons

Buccaneers (2-9) Bengals, Lions, Panthers, Packers, Saints

Mathematically, the Buccaneers are not out of it yet because they can win out to finish 7-9. Now how crazy is that?

Realistically, I would be shocked if they win either NFC North game, so I am ready to eliminate them.

The easiest remaining schedule obviously belongs to the Saints, but I doubt they will win in Pittsburgh.
