    Arizona, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Oakland, Miami, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Washington are eliminated from playoff contention.

    The Giants/Green Bay situation is unreal.  I don't think I've heard anything quite approaching If, Then, Else logic quite like this before!

    My team is in there, though I don't know how long they'll last.  What about yours?  Are they in?  Eliminated?  Have a chance?
