Well all that matters is that Minnesota and Seattle will lose and Green Bay will win and make the play-offs

FINALLY!! IT MAKES SENSE TO ME!!!

I headed over to Packers.com to see what they had to say about the whole situation. It's finally been cleared up to me.

If the Packers and Seahawks both lose, or all 3 (Sea, GB, Dal) win, it will be a two way tie between Sea and GB. This is the scenario in which the Packers reg season victory is the tie breaker. Simple as that. However, if both teams win, and Dallas loses, it won't be a two way tie between the two teams (this is what I've been overlooking), it will be a 3 way tie between Sea, GB, and Dal. In certain scenarios Seattle's strength of victory is stronger than that of Dallas. This earns Seattle the first wild card spot. The second wild card spot would then go to Dallas over Green Bay.

From Packers.com

Some games to watch:

Buffalo at New England (Sat., Dec. 27 - 12:30 CT): A Buffalo win helps Dallas' strength of victory over Seattle, which is beneficial to the Packers in the event of a three-way tie.

Seattle at San Francisco (Sat., Dec. 27 - 4 p.m. CT): A San Francisco win clinches a Wild Card berth for the Packers regardless of their game against the Broncos. A Seattle win forces a Packers win against the Broncos.

Philadelphia at Washington (Sat., Dec. 27 - 4 p.m. CT): A Washington win helps Dallas' strength of victory and potentially gives Dallas extra incentive to win at New Orleans as the NFC East title would be up for grabs.

Dallas at New Orleans (Sun., Dec. 28 - Noon CT): A Dallas win eliminates the potential for a three-way tie with Seattle and Green Bay that could eliminate the Packers from playoff contention.

Minnesota at Arizona (Sun., Dec. 28 - 3 p.m. CT): The Packers only hope of winning the NFC North requires an Arizona win.

Denver at Green Bay (Sun, Dec. 28 - 3:15 p.m. CT): To reach the playoffs, the Packers will be in a must-win situation unless Seattle loses to San Francisco.
Those are scenarios that favor the Packers. The Bal/Pitt game could strengthen Seattle's strength of victory therefore negatively effecting the Packers chances in the playoffs. I never realized the playoffs were so complicated.
