And if the skins lose both GB/Det get in as either a wildcard or division winner.
So you might as well consider the skins game a wildcard game lol
No. You're forgetting about the Bucs. I'm not sure the exact scenario for them, but I think if TB wins their game, the skins and lions lose, I think the Bucs might have a shot.

Well think about it. This past week, the Skins needed to beat the Bears, have both the Lions and Bucs lose. All three happened. It's not out of the realm of possibility. Green Bay is riding a 5 game winning streak, the Lions have lost their last two I believe. And it's hard to predict a Giants/Redskins game.
BTW, just checked NFL.com, the Bucs would need GB to lose as well was Washington. If Washington's game happens to end in a tie, then they would need GB to lose and the Bucs to either lose or tie. Of course, the 'skins also need the GB/Det game to not end in a tie.
The Bucs are playing the Panthers. Never know what to expect from Carolina.
Well, technically, this year, it's about a 1 in 128 chance.. Well.. Minus 8.. 1 in 120.
256 games in a season, 2 ties this year, we've still got a week of games to go. 256-16=240/2=120
Aside from the math (I was speaking from a figure of speech point of view) the chances of an important season ending game ending in a tie would be very slim.
Honestly, I think they need to do away with any possibility of a tie on the pro level. Maybe institute a real sudden death after the overtime quarter has expired. Have the ball placed at your opponent's 20 and see who can be stopped first. Ties tend to make things way too messy.
