Since I do not think Washington is going to be upset by Philly, nor is Atlanta going to beat Carolina in week 17. Let's try to make some sense of this. If the season were to end today: The NFC Wildcard matchups would be Skins at Bucs and Panthers at Giants. Due to the seedings, the #1 and #2 seeds get first-round bye's and await the winners of the Wildcard round.

Between the Skins at Buc's, if #6 wins they go to Seatle. #3 heads to Chicago.

Between the Panthers at Giants, the Bears play the winner of this game IF the Buc's lose.

Who's up for a Bear's playoff game less than a mile from Soldier Field?

Note: the Bears have beaten 3 out of 4 of the Wildcard teams, and have yet to face the Giants.
