And, here are the remaining schedules for the teams in the current NFC playoff picture:

NFC

Team	Remaining Schedule
Dallas Cowboys	PHI
Atlanta Falcons	NO
Seattle Seahawks	SF
Green Bay Packers	DET
New York Giants	WAS
Detroit Lions	GB
Washington Redskins	NYG
Tampa Bay Buccaneers	CAR

A quick primer on what all of this information is:

Team, W(ins), L(osses), T(ies), and Pct (winning percentage) are all self-explanatory. 

The Conference and Division records are separated into separate columns for Wins/Losses/Ties. This was purely a formatting move designed to help me update the tables more efficiently. 

PF - Points For (points scored by the team for the season)

PA - Points Against (points scored by the team's opponents for the season)

Pythag% - Pythagorean winning percentage - this is based on PF and PA

RoS SOS - Rest of Season Strength of Schedule

Interesting bits of information:

• Dallas has clinched home field advantage through the Super Bowl. 
• Atlanta clinches a first round bye with a win OR a SEA loss AND a DET loss.
• Seattle clinches a first round bye with a win AND an ATL loss.
• Detroit clinches a first round bye with a win AND a SEA loss AND an ATL loss.
• Detroit clinches the NFC North with a win.
• Green Bay clinches the NFC North with a win or tie.
• Detroit clinches a playoff berth with a WAS loss.
• Green Bay clinches a playoff berth with a WAS loss. 
• Washington clinches a playoff berth with a win AND the Green Bay Detroit game does not end in a tie.
• Tampa Bay clinches a playoff berth with a win AND a GB loss AND a WAS tie AND like 6 games achieve the correct result so TB can win the SOV tiebreaker over Green Bay.
