if MN vs DAL strength of victory ends in a tie, then next tiebreaker is strength of schedule. Since victories are tie, strength of schedule is strength of defeat.
dAL currently leads by 1 game, 63 to 62
7 defeats for each team.
DALLAS 7 LOSSES
9/16 Seattle Seahawks at Seattle (0-1) L 7 - 27 9
Mon 10/1 Chicago Bears Chicago (2-1) L 18 - 34 8
Sun 10/14 Baltimore Ravens at Baltimore (4-1) L 29 - 31 9
Sun 10/28 New York Giants NY Giants (5-2) L 24 - 29 8
Sun 11/4 Atlanta Falcons at Atlanta (7-0) L 13 - 19 13
Thu 11/22 Washington Redskins Washington (4-6) L 31 - 38 9

TOTAL 63
MINN 7 LOSSES

Sun 12/30 Green Bay Packers Green Bay 1:00 pm 10

eliminate the common defeats, because they cancel each other out. This assumes NYG at 10-6 and GB beats MN.
DALLAS LOSSES
Sun 10/14 Baltimore Ravens L 29 - 31 9 (1 remaining only, plays vs NYG)
Sun 10/28 New York Giants NY Giants (5-2) L 24 - 29 8 10
Sun 11/4 Atlanta Falcons at Atlanta (7-0) L 13 - 19 13 (1)
Sun 12/23 New Orleans Saints New Orleans (6-8) 7 (1)
TOTAL 37 current
MINN LOSSES
Indianapolis Colts at Indianapolis (0-1) L 20 - 23 10 (1)
Thu 10/25 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay (2-4) L 17 - 36 6 (1)
Sun 12/2 Green Bay Packers at Green Bay (7-4) L 14 - 23 10 11
Sun 12/30 Green Bay Packers Green Bay 1:00 pm 10 11
TOTAL 36 current
dal min-max 39 min up to 42 max
MN min-max 38 min up to 40 max
So dAL is within 1 game of clinching a tie at worst. With 5 games next week. BA ATL NO INDY TB. ATL PLAYS TB, so that game is a double.
(OF COURSE IF NYG loses vs BALT, DAL cannot be the wildcard because at 9-7, they win division. And none of this SOV SOD matters.)
alien ping, see #41
INDY HAS CLINCHED STRENGTH OF DEFEAT OVER CINCY
so for the #5 seed at 10-6, they just need a tie in strength of victory.
CIN VS IND, SOD
CINN 6 DEFEATS
9/10 Baltimore Ravens at Baltimore (0-0) L 13 - 44 10
Sun 10/7 Miami Dolphins Miami (1-3) L 13 - 17 7 (1)
Sun 10/14 Cleveland Browns at Cleveland (0-5) L 24 - 34 5 (1 VS PITT)
Sun 10/21 Pittsburgh Steelers Pittsburgh (2-3) L 17 - 24 7
Sun 11/4 Denver Broncos Denver (4-3) L 23 - 31 12 (1)
Sun 12/9 Dallas Cowboys Dallas (6-6) L 19 - 20 8 (1)
49 MAX IS 53
INDY 6 DEFEATS
Chicago Bears at Chicago (0-0) L 21 - 41 9
Sun 9/23 Jacksonville Jaguars Jacksonville (0-2) L 17 - 22 2
Sun 10/14 New York Jets at NY Jets (2-3) L 9 - 35 6
Sun 11/18 New England Patriots at New England (6-3) L 24 - 59 11
Sun 12/16 Houston Texans at Houston (11-2) L 17 - 29 13
Sun 12/30 Houston Texans Houston 1:00 13
54
Redskins are going to beat the Cowboys and win the Division. Giants are going to lose today’s game making them 8-7.
CINCY HAS magic number of 1 to CLINCH THE TIEBREAKER AT 10-6 VS INDY.
WOULD PUT CINCY IN #5 SEED.
NO HEAD TO HEAD
CONF REC WOULD BE TIE
COMMON WOULD BE TIE
S.O.V.:
CIN 46 wins (at 9-7)
at 10-6, they added PITT which is a 7
INDY 48 wins (at 9-7)
at 10-6 they added KC which is a 2
so CIN 53 going into today
balt sd oak wash won putting them at 57
INDY 50 going into today
mia gb mn won giving them 53
cle jax kc are common VICTORIES
bringing it to 7 UNCOMMON
indy:
mn xx plays gb
gb xx
tn
mi
buff
det
tn
can get 6 max next week which is 59
cincy:
wa
nyg xx plays phil
oak xx plays sd
sd xx
ph xx
ptt
balt loss next week
min of 2 givs them 59, almost clinched
INDY has clinched #5 seed, will play at BALT or possibly PATS
TIEBREAKERS FOR INDY VS CINCY AT 10-6
CONFERENCE WILL BE 7-5
COMMON GAMES, INDY IS 4-1, CINCY IS 3-2 therefore, INDY HAS CLINCHED THE #5 SEED.
SO S.O.V. IS now irrelevant for MN vs DAL and CINCY vs INDY
Uh...yeah.
