Simple NFC Tiebreaker Chart, 2016, After Week 16

Notes and assumptions: Tiebreaker winners are as they would be if the teams were tied at the end of the season, NOT as if the season ended right now. Tiebreakers that don't affect playoff berths or seeding are ignored.  (Example: If NYG and GB both finish 10-6, GB wins the NFC North, but NYG doesn't win the NFC East.) Division ties are broken first.  If three or more teams are tied, apply that tiebreaker, not the two-team tiebreaker. Strength of victory is the combined winning percentage (essentially, the number of wins) of the teams a team has beaten. It has nothing to do with point totals. Two ties equal one win and one loss. Clinched division and home-field advantage: DAL. Clinched division: SEA, ATL. Clinched wild card and #5 seed: NYG. Eliminated: SF, CHI, LA, PHI, ARI, NO, CAR, MIN, NO. Eliminated from division: WAS, TB. The complete tiebreaker rules are here. NFC Division Tiebreakers after Week 16: Tied Teams Record Winner Why?

Simple AFC Tiebreaker Chart, 2016, After Week 16

Notes and assumptions: No possibility of future tie games. Tiebreaker winners are as they would be if the teams were tied at the end of the season, NOT as if the season ended right now. Tiebreakers that don't affect playoff berths or seeding are ignored.  (Example: If HOU and MIA both finish 10-6, HOU wins the AFC South, but MIA doesn't win the AFC East.) Division ties are broken first. If three or more teams are tied, apply that tiebreaker, not the two-team tiebreaker. Strength of victory is the combined winning percentage (essentially, the number of wins) of the teams a team has beaten. It has nothing to do with point totals. Clinched division and first-round bye: NE. Clinched division and #3 seed: PIT. Clinched division and #4 seed: HOU. Clinched playoff berth: OAK, KC, MIA. Eliminated: everyone else.

Simple AFC Tiebreaker Chart, 2015, After Week 16

Notes and assumptions: No possibility of tie games. Tiebreaker winners are as they would be if the teams were tied at the end of the season, NOT as if the season ended right now Tiebreakers that don't affect playoff berths or seeding are ignored. (Example: If NYJ and CIN both finish 11-5, CIN wins the AFC North, but NYJ doesn't win the AFC East.) Division ties are broken first.  (Example: If DEN, KC, and NYJ all finish 11-5, break the DEN-KC tie first.  Then apply the tiebreaker between NYJ and the DEN-KC loser.) If three or more teams are tied, apply that tiebreaker, not the two-team tiebreaker. Strength of victory is the combined winning percentage (essentially, the number of wins) of the teams a team has beaten. It has nothing to do with point totals.  Strength of schedule is the combined winning percentage of all the teams a team has played. Combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed adds the ordinal rankings of the team's ranking in the AFC in both of those categories.  Lowest total wins.  It is not the same thing as net points scored.  (Currently, the Colts have 303 points scored, ranking 12th, and 384 points allowed, ranking 13th, while the Texans have 309 points scored, ranking 11th, and 307 points allowed, ranking tied for 6th [the NFL ignores the tie].  As things stand today, the Texans would win the tiebreaker 17 to 25.)  Incredibly, all eight AFC Week 17 games are meaningful to determining playoff berths and/or seeding. Locked berths: none. Clinched division/bye: NE. Clinched division: CIN. Clinched berths: DEN, KC. Eliminated: BUF, MIA, BAL, CLE, JAX, TEN, OAK, SD. Eliminated from division: NYJ, PIT.

Notes and assumptions: No possibility of further tie games (CIN is excluded from the table). Tiebreaker winners are as they would be if the teams were tied at the end of the season, NOT as if the season ended right now. (Example: KC and SD can only finish tied if KC beats SD next week.) Tiebreakers that don't affect playoff berths or seeding are ignored.  (Example: If BUF and IND both finish 10-6, IND wins the AFC South, but BUF doesn't win the AFC East.) Division ties are broken first.  (Example: If BAL, SD, and KC all finish 9-7, break the SD-KC tie first.  Then apply the tiebreaker between BAL and the SD-KC winner.)

Notes and assumptions: No possibility of further tie games except GB-DET. Tiebreaker winners are as they would be if the teams were tied at the end of the season, NOT as if the season ended right now. Tiebreakers that don't affect playoff berths or seeding are ignored.  Division ties are broken first.  (Example: If ARI, SEA, and DET all finish 12-4, break the ARI-SEA tie first.  Then apply the tiebreaker between DET and the ARI-SEA winner.)

Simple NFC Tiebreaker Chart, 2013, After Week 16

Notes and assumptions: No possibility of further tie games.  GB doesn't appear on the chart, but can't be in a relevant tiebreaker even with another tie. Tiebreaker winners are as they would be if the teams were tied at the end of the season, NOT as if the season ended right now. Tiebreakers that don't affect playoff berths or seeding are ignored.  (Example: any tiebreaker between PHI and NO, because PHI wins the NFC East at 10-6, and NO would not win the South.). Division ties are broken first.  (Example: If NO, CAR, and SF all finish 11-5, break the NO-CAR tie first.  Then apply the tiebreaker between SF and the NO-CAR winner.) If three or more teams are tied, apply that tiebreaker, not the two-team tiebreaker. Strength of victory is the combined winning percentage (essentially, the number of wins) of the teams a team has beaten. It has nothing to do with point totals. Locked berths: none. Clinched divisions: none. Clinched berths: SEA, CAR. Alive for division only: PHI, DAL, CHI, GB. Alive for division or wild card: NO, SF.  Alive for wild card only: ARI.

Simple AFC Tiebreaker Chart, 2013, After Week 16

Notes and assumptions: No possibility of further tie games. Tiebreaker winners are as they would be if the teams were tied at the end of the season, NOT as if the season ended right now.  (Example: MIA currently has the tiebreaker on NYJ, but MIA and NYJ can only be tied if NYJ beats MIA next week, which would negate MIA's head-to-head tiebreaker.) Tiebreakers that don't affect playoff berths or seeding are ignored. Division ties are broken first.  (Example: If MIA, NYJ, BAL, and SD all finish 8-8, break the MIA-NYJ tie first.  Then apply the tiebreaker between BAL, SD, and the MIA-NYJ winner.) If three or more teams are tied, apply that tiebreaker, not the two-team tiebreaker. Strength of victory is the combined winning percentage (essentially, the number of wins) of the teams a team has beaten. It has nothing to do with point totals. Clinched divisions: NE, CIN, IND, DEN. Clinched bye: DEN. Clinched #5 seed: KC. Alive for #6 seed: MIA, BAL, PIT, SD.  Note that none of these teams are win-and-in; SD and PIT are eliminated if either MIA or BAL wins, and which of MIA or BAL makes the playoffs at 9-7 is dependent on whether SD wins.  If everyone loses, BAL makes the playoffs. Eliminated, but still affecting tiebreakers: NYJ. Also eliminated: HOU, JAX, BUF, CLE, OAK, TEN. The complete tiebreaker rules are here.
