Still need a lot of other games to go certain ways for your scenario to render the week 17 game meaningless.  It's possible, but it's extremely, extremely unlikely.

The tacks would still be likely fighting for a playoff spot with that record as they have one of the better in-conference records as a tie breaker against other potential 9-7 playoff teams and we'd probably see them 2 weeks in a row if we're the 3 seed and they're fighting for the 6 seed in week 17.  Why not just take care of business in week 17?  It would be catastrophic if we let them into the playoffs by resting and then they came down here the following week and beat us again.  That's actually probably the very worst case scenario that could happen the rest of this year.
