For WC spots, it's head to head (if applicable) first, then record in conference, then common opponents. For divisional tiebreakers, it's head to head, divisional record, common opponents. If DET and CHI finished at 11-6 each, there is a good chance they both have the same Division record (3-3), Conference record (7-5), and record in common games (8-4), which would then move to the Strength of Victory criteria, which just based on their schedule, DET would more than likely win it. What sucks is you benefit from beating a good team, but are not penalized for losing to a bad team with Strength of Victory. For CHI to win the division outright, they will need to beat DET by at least one game on the season, which may be decided in Week 18. With GB having a tie, that takes all the tie breakers out of the equation. The easiest route to the Division is sweeping GB and beating DET. That would give the Bears a 4-2 DIV record and DET would end up at 3-3. They would then only need to win 1 game against PIT, CLE, SF, and PHI to finish 11-6. Win two of those and you more than likely win the division outright at 12-5, but it still would come down to Week 18. There is crazy scenario where the winner of Week 18 wins the Division, and the loser misses the playoffs (because of GB's tie). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears4Ever_34 Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Packers are probably the team to watch fall out of playoff contention, if it's not the Bears. Packers remaining opponents: (MIN(x2), DET, CHI(x2), DEN, BAL If they split with either MIN or CHI, they are in serious danger of missing the playoffs, because I don't see them beating Detroit, Denver, or Baltimore. They'd end up finishing 9-7-1, leaving the door open for the Bears to get in with 10 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
