What pisses me off is that they beat Seattle but thanks to stupid 3 team tiebreakers, head to head doesn't matter and they will be #3 seed. They should be the #2 seed if they end up with the same record as Seattle barring a GB and Detroit tie.

If both Seattle and Dallas win next week and if Green Bay and Detroit tie, Dallas will be the #1 seed. Seattle and Dallas will have 12-4 records, while the NFC North winner will be 11-4-1. The first tie breaker is head to head, not conference record. In a 3 way tie, it is conference record since Green Bay and Dallas did not play and that puts Dallas at the #3 seed. Tie breaks starts all over between Seattle and the North winner, if Green Bay, Seattle won head to head, if Detroit, Seattle also wins the tiebreak due to a higher winning percentage among common opponents.
