Division or Wild Card for real

If we all end up at 10-6, who takes the division?

We would because of our record in the division.

I am going to be emotionally exhausted next Sunday. In addition to cheering for the Redskins, I also get to cheer for:

New England (vs Tampa)
Kansas City (vs Giants)
New Orleans (vs Carolina)
Pittsburg (vs Minnesota)
Chicago (vs Atlanta)

At least I don't have to cheer for any of our arch-rivals.

Right answer, wrong reason. The first tiebreak is best record in the three-team head-to-head:

WSH 3-1
NYG 2-2
DAL 1-3

Actually, it might help the Redskins if Minn were to pass Chicago for the North lead. That would put the Bears into the Wild Card pool and the Redskins have a tiebreaker edge on CHI.
