So, we have just proven without a doubt that nothing the NY Giants do, they can't win the NFC East. Now lets move onto the wild cards.

Arizona (worst case - 9-7) (hold head to head tiebreaker vs. Giants)
Key Games - at St. Louis, vs. Seattle, at San Francisco

Green Bay (worst case - 8-8)
Key Games - vs. New England, at Buffalo, vs. Detroit

Philadelphia (worst case - 8-8 (if lose to Dallas twice) or 10-6 (if beat Dallas twice)
Key Games - at Dallas, vs. Seattle, vs. Dallas, at NY Giants

Dallas (worst case - 8-8 (if lose to Philly twice) or 10-6 (if beat Philly twice) (hold head to head tiebreaker vs. Giants)

Seattle (worst case - 8-8 (if lose to San Francisco twice) or 10-6 (if beat San Francisco twice) (hold head to head tiebreaker vs. Giants)

Key Games - at Detroit, vs. Dallas, vs. Detroit

New York Giants (best case - 8-8) (hold head to head tiebreaker vs. NO ONE)
Key Games - at St. Louis, vs. Philadelphia


So please, I BEG YOU, please, pray tell what magical combination of wins and losses in those key games will somehow allow the New York Giants to somehow magically bypass the head to head tiebreaker system and claim a wild card spot. With those worst case records, Arizona wins the NFC West, Green Bay or Detroit wins the NFC North, it doesn't matter who wins the NFC South because they all suck, Dallas or Philadelphia wins the NFC East.

Assuming Green Bay and Dallas win their divisions, the playoffs will look like this:

#1 Seed - Arizona (9-7) (NFC West Champ)
#2 Seed - Green Bay (8-8) NFC North Champ)
#3 Seed - Dallas (8-8 (NFC East Champ)
#4 Seed - NFC South Champ (with whatever terrible record they will have)
#5 Seed - Philadelphia, Seattle or San Francisco (all 8-8) (hold head to head tiebreakers over New York Giants)
#6 Seed - Philadelphia, Seattle or San Francisco (all 8-8) (hold head to head tiebreakers over New York Giants)
#7 Rank - Philadelphia, Seattle or San Francisco (all 8-8) (hold head to head tiebreakers over New York Giants)
#8 Rank - New York Giants (8-8)
#9 Rank - Detroit (7-9)
#10 Rank - Chicago (5-11)

Assuming Philadelphia and Detroit win their divisions, the playoffs will look like this:

#1 Seed - Arizona (9-7) (NFC West Champ)
#2 Seed - Philadelphia (8-8) (NFC East Champ)
#3 Seed - Detroit (8-8 or better) NFC North Champ)
#4 Seed - NFC South Champ (with whatever terrible record they will have)
#5 Seed - Dallas, Green Bay, Seattle or San Francisco (all 8-8) (hold head to head tiebreakers over New York Giants)
#6 Seed - Dallas, Green Bay, Seattle or San Francisco (all 8-8) (hold head to head tiebreakers over New York Giants)
