Perdogg on it in 41 seconds. Impressive.

[campaignPete R-CT]

my sure winner is: MIAMI
(used DET, SD, NO, BALT, NYG, ZONA, MINN, GB, HOUS, PATS, DAL, DEN, BUFF, SF earlier weeks, 12-2) (can only use each team once per season)

my sure loser is: JAX
(used AZ, MIAMI, TB, TENN, BUFF, GIANTS, DET, CAR, KC, STL, SD, OAK, PHIL, NO earlier weeks, 11-2-1) (can only use each team once per season)
SAME game this week for winner and loser

[GRRRRR]

Dear Santa,
Please bring a miracle gift to the Bears.

Pats vs. 49'ers Sunday night on NBC.

Many heartfelt thanks to the inventor of the "Mute" button.

this is an NFL “we are over here now” ping
no bender sightings recently

[campaignPete R-CT]

if DAL beats WASH final week, creating a tie and a tie DIV record ... DAL vs WASH common games:

DAL uncommon is 0-2 (SEA CHI)
WASH uncommon is 1-1 (STL MINN)
therefore DAL has clinched common over WASH

NYG is 2-0 uncommon, so DAL & WASH have common games over NYG
NYG have no tiebreakers vs either DAL or WASH, they are in deep dire straits.

[campaignPete R-CT]

MN has clinched common games over CHI. Therefore has clinched tiebreaker over CHI. CHI cannot have better DIV rec if the 2 teams tie.

(head to head is split.)
but MN has much tougher schedule.

[campaignPete R-CT]

BALT-CINN-PITT all went 1-1 in uncommon, so common amoungst the 3 is clinched to be a tie and therefore no longer a factor in any divisional tiebreaker.

BALT is playing for seeding in the wildcard round. They have clinched a playoff spot #3 thru #6. (Unless PT vs. CINN ends in a tie next week.)

[campaignPete R-CT]

TIEBREAKERS FOR INDY, if:
PT 9-7
CIN 9-7

IND 9-7

CONFERENCE WILL BE 6-6 FOR ALL 3 TEAMS

IND VS. CIN, BOTH 3-2 COMMON GAMES
IND VS. PIT, BOTH 3-2 COMMON GAMES

therefore, the IND tiebreaker goes to SOV (strength of victory) with both teams.

[note, the NYJ at 9-7 would be 7-5 conf and therefore sweep in, in a 3-way tie, or head to head vs. INDY)

[campaignPete R-CT]

SOV current:

PITT 60 wins (at 9-7)
CIN 46 wins (at 9-7)
INDY 48 wins (at 9-7)

INDY could be out of playoffs at 9-7. Of course, they play @ KC next week. And they have a slight lead over CIN in SOV. (Jets are on the march, too. Sort of.)

[campaignPete R-CT]

9-5 with 2 to play

[campaignPete R-CT]

AFC
jets in the hunt ... have tiebreaker over CINN
NYJ has tb over CIN, not PT
MI has tb over CIN/PT, still kickin.

Hous has h2h over DEN, giving them stronghold on bye
NE h2h OVER hous and DEN

cin/pt uncommon is 1=1
winner of h2h week 16 clinches tiebreaker.

[campaignPete R-CT]

NYG & WASH lead the 6 wildcarders in CONF
head to head:

........... NYG DAL WASH CHI MN SEA
NYG ......X ...... X ...... X ... X ..... X ... X
DAL ,,,,, X,,. X ..... wa ... CHI ... X ... SEA
WASH ... X .. .. wa ... X .... X .... WASH ... X

[campaignPete R-CT]

i finish at 9-7, another poor week.
going with ATL over DET on SAT

NYJ toasted. If they win out to 8-8, they get 2nd place and eliminate MIA due to tiebreaker (common games). MIA is still kickin’ if they finish 8-8 ahead of NYJ and tie CINN and PT.

[campaignPete R-CT]

have yet to use atl, chi, pt as winner
have yet to use cin, cle, nyj, wa as loser
