NFC tiebreaker scenarios entering Week 15

The following charts seek to answer the following question: If these two (or more) teams finish with the same record, who wins the tiebreaker?

Notes and assumptions:

No possibility of future tie games (MIN and GB are only shown for tiebreakers against each other).
Tiebreaker winners are as they would be if the teams were tied at the end of the season, NOT as if the season ended right now.
Tiebreakers that don’t affect playoff berths or seeding are ignored.
Division ties are broken first.
If three or more teams are tied, apply that tiebreaker, not the two-team tiebreaker.
Strength of victory is the combined winning percentage (essentially, the number of wins) of the teams a team has beaten. It has nothing to do with point totals.

No NFC team has yet clinched a playoff seed. NO and LAR have clinched their divisions. SF and ARI are mathematically eliminated.

The complete tiebreaker rules are here.
