    Packers@Lions: Intentional tie?
    Let's assume the Redskins win; it would be mathematically logical for the Packers and Lions to agree to a tie so neither is eliminated. How would this be handled?

    My suggestion would be to kneel down every play with each defense in normal formation, aside from 4th down punts. The biggest risk is a "betrayal".

    However:
    -The winner of this outcome gets to host, which is a homefield advantage. This is a slight detriment.
    -In the event of a tie, the Lions are stuck traveling to Seattle(unless the 49ers upset the Seahawks week 17).

        It'd be awesome to see a WWE-style swerve with Rodgers turning heel at the end and heaving a 50 yard TD pass to win 7-0.

          You play to win the game.

            tying is winning in this case.

            i can see it happening if the opportunity presents itself
            in the 4th quarter and OT.

            as far as conspiring the entire game, that's doubtful.

              If the game is in OT, and one team is backed up, I can see a team playing it safe instead of going for a win.

                  they dont

                  hes saying they would make an agreement before hand

                  and again this is like pt shaving might as well put some on a 100-1 prop for a tie if your gonna agree to one
