Simple NFC Tiebreaker Chart, 2010, After SF-SD

Notes and assumptions:
  1. No possibility of tie games.
  2. Tiebreakers are as they would be at the end of the season, NOT as of right now. (Example: NO and TB can only be tied if TB beats NO.)
  3. Tiebreakers that don't affect playoff berths or seeding are ignored.
  4. Divisional ties are broken first.
  5. If three or more teams are tied, apply that tiebreaker, not the two-team tiebreaker.
  6. Strength-of-victory is the combined winning percentage of the teams a team has beaten. It has nothing to do with point totals.
  7. The NFC #6 seed will have at least a 9-7 record. (Though the NFC West winner can be as bad as 6-9-1.)
  8. Locked berths: none.
  9. Clinched divisions: none.
  10. Clinched berths: none.
  11. Eliminated: CAR, DET, DAL, WAS, MIN.
  12. Eliminated barring STL-SEA tie: ARI.
  13. The complete tiebreaker rules are here.
