3. Cardinals 7-5 - division winner
4. Vikings 6-5 - division winner

:icon_thumright: ^^^

It's different for teams in the same division which is what RF52 was going by...ESPN is correct...RF52 is wrong.

 

no i said it goes by conference but I just looked at the fact that dallas has more wins than atlanta in the conference and forgot about the WLT percentage. i knew it was conference i just did the math wrong.

16. Lions 0-12

notes: The Raiders could actually still win the division, if they win all of their remaining games, and Denver loses all of their remaining games, and the Chargers win no more than two games....the Browns, even though they have a better record than the Raiders, are officially eliminated because they cannot win their division and at best can tie the Ravens and Colts at 8-8, and lost to both teams....the Titans, Giants and Cardinals are this close but have yet to clinch a playoff spot.

 

If:
Atlanta and NYJ would have beat Denver, you're looking at a Wide open AFC West, but Denver handled business when they needed to and have pretty much sewn it up.

 

If the season ended today ...

 

:laughy32:

Your career ended that day my friend...lol.

With the Atlanta loss, the Cowboys are currently in the playoffs. Redskins win, I believe they take that last slot...they lose, the Cowboys are in for the moment...

 

Anyone know how NE has the tie breaker over the Fins if they've both split their games?

Now the Jets. Fins and Pats are in a 3 way tie....it's a clusterheck.

 

You got me DD...

:dontknow:

 

I thought conference record was the next tie break....Miami is 6-4 .....NE is 5-5

 

Division Teams, I believe, goes:

Head to Head
Division Record
Conference Record

So maybe NE has a better division record?

Here you go DD...

NE is 3-2 in the division...Miami is 2-2...

 

Nope, Miami beat Buffalo today to go 3-2 in the division same as NE.....yet Fox still showed them ahead of Miami with the tiebreakers.

damn, conference record is the 4th tiebreak....that's bullcrap.....common opponents should be behind that.

 

All I know is.....Steelers are 10-3

 

pats almost lost to the seahawks and seneca wallace, that should be a point against them, lol

 

I'm sure glad I don't have to worry about any of these scenarios...

:icon_redface:

 

No, but you'll be wondering who your competition is for the #2 pick shortly!:icon_cheesygrin:

^^^I had #1 pick there....but surely the Lions can't heck that up.:shock:

 

the lions won't heck up getting the #1 pick, but they will surely heck up whoever they take

 

:icon_cheesygrin: Whos the best WR in the country.....put your vcash down now...I'll set up the bookie event.

 

crabtree is easily #1, but with millen gone, I would have to think they don't draft him #1 overall. That would be a ton of money locked in one position, not even the lions are that dumb. Are they?

 

:icon_redface:

Are they?!?!?!

 

Well Millen is gone....so maybe not....:dontknow:
