Is there a way for them all to lose?

Sadly for NFC East haters no, every team in the division has at least a remote shot except the Redskins at 5-9. If they had a kicker they'd be at least 7-7 and have a better shot than the Giants to win the division, especially since we'd be 6-8.

my guess is

Tebow vs. Orton
or
Chargers vs. Raiders
or
Deadskins vs. Eagles (win and they're in type of deal)

Unless the Cowboys win and Giants lose this weekend then it's almost guaranteed to be the Cowboys-Giants game. The NFL wants to put a game on Sunday night where there's playoff implications regardless of what happened earlier in the day and that would definitely be the case for Cowboys-Giants. The networks have no say in which game gets flexed in week 17 so the NFL isn't going to care that Fox didn't get that game either time they played and that they've already had that game on a Sunday night.

The only other option I could see is Chiefs-Broncos if a number of things happen this weekend. First the Chiefs would need to beat Oakland and both San Diego and Denver would have to lose. In that scenario it would be a winner takes the division game so it could be flexed.

Orton vs Tebow for the AFC West, TBH I don't want to be flexed because we suck on SNF lately with a "nice" 6 game losing streak.

The only problem with cowboys/giants for snf is:
- if eagles beat cowboys this week & giants lose to jets.
- then if eagles beat redskins week 17 the giants are eliminated.

would the giants really try hard & play when they are already eliminated ?

Coach Mike Munchack indicated Monday that Chris Johnson will be questionable for Week 16 due to a sore ankle.
Munchak mentioned Herb Donaldson as a candidate to back up Jamie Harper should Johnson sit out, though the Nashville Tennessean gets the sense CJ1K will be "OK" for the Jaguars game. Tests were negative, and he "should be fine." We'll have a better read on Johnson's status after mid-week practices, but early signs suggest he'll be a RB2 option again on Sunday.

I'm surprised at the effectiveness of CJ Spiller. He had shown no signs of being able to make big plays in the running game prior to Jackson's injury, but we're doing a great job at getting him into open space where he can utilize his speed. He'll never be a 20+ carry back, but I think in the future we'll use him the way New Orleans uses Sproles. Jackson and Spiller should be a great tandem for Buffalo for the next several years. Now if only we can get a defense...

how has Green Bay not clinched the #1 seed yet?

Green Bay 13-1

New Orleans 11-3

San Francisco 10-3

it must be San Fran since GB already beat New Orleans, so they're two games up on NO.

right? GB is just waiting for San Fran to lose again?

SF loss or GB win and the Packers are #1.

I said it before, and I'll say it again...... I'd root for Jerry Sandusky's legal defense team before I would root for the Steelers.
