Anyone know how it works if we were to finish tied with the niners and split with them in the regular season? Whats the second tiebreaker? I feel like we can lose one more game, maybe even two and make the playoffs, but this is not the one you want to lose.
We pretty much need to also beat both the Cards and Rams giving us the division tie-breaker (4-2 to 3-3 in this case.) However, we would lose a tie-breaker if we both ended 3-3 in the division (Niners would have a better common games record.) Seeming though that we would be at best 10-6 in that case, not sure it would make much difference.
Correct...I believe Tie Breaker goes...
Head-to-Head
Division Record
Conference Record.
I thought so too, but it goes common games before conference record:
TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION
If, at the end of the regular season, two or more teams in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.
Two teams
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the teams).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
