Who is # 7 right now in the AFC ?

Do you have any interest in playoff ?

Do you believe in Anthony Lynn? Because many of us sure don't.

The top 4 seeds are the division winners who are ranked by record. Head-to-head record is the first tie breaker used within a division to break a tie. So, because IND beat TEN, we have the following for the first four teams:

1. PIT (9-0)
2. KC (8-1)
3. BUF (7-3)
4. IND (6-3)

For the potential wild card teams, there are 5 teams at 6-3. First, ties within a division are broken. So, we have BAL and CLE from the AFCN. BAL beat CLE, so CLE is eliminated from the group of 5. Next is head-to-head sweep, but the remaining teams (LV, MIA, BAL, TEN) have not all played each other, so we move on to conference record as the next tie breaker. We have LV at 4-2, MIA at 3-2, BAL at 4-3 and TEN at 4-3. So, LV is in as the #5 seed and we go back to the beginning of the tie breaker rules, which, by the same process, results in MIA getting the #6 seed.

So, we then revert back to the beginning of the two step wild card tie breaking procedure to break the tie between BAL and TEN for the #7 spot. There is no head-to-head result, so we move on to conference record. Both teams are 4-3 in the conference, so the next step is common opponents with a minimum of four games in common. BAL and TEN have each played against PIT, IND, CIN and HOU. BAL is 2-2 in those games and TEN is 1-3. So, BAL wins the tie breaker over TEN and is in as of now as the #7 seed.

But even though CLE was eliminated before TEN, CLE has the edge over TEN for the #8 seed based again upon its record in common games. TEN is assigned the #9 seed at present.

Thank you !

I Don't know. I think it's more bad executuion than coaching.
A blocked punt, a fumble or a sure INT dropped, it's not a coach's fault.

So, IF we win out... Do you think we get in?

[Maniaque 6]

No but it does'nt matter.
The Chargers will choose between 5 and 9.
TEN and IND made impression today.
