2023 Week 12 Other Games

[Badger]

Why do I feel like having the tie-breaker on the Giants is going to haunt us?

Does head to head matter in draft position? I figured it was all about SOS.

Heartbreaker for the Texans

Who expected the Jags to hold the #1 seed at any point this season?

Head-to-head has nothing to do with the draft.

[CatoTheElder]

Head-to-head has nothing to do with the draft.

FALSE:

From the NFL website:

In situations where teams finished the previous season with identical records, the determination of draft position is decided by strength of schedule — the aggregate winning percentage of a team’s opponents. The team that played the schedule with the lowest winning percentage will be awarded the higher pick.

If the teams have the same strength of schedule, division or conference tiebreakers are applied. If the divisional or conference tiebreakers are not applicable, or ties still exist between teams of different conferences, ties will be broken the following tie-breaking method:

Head-to-head, if applicable
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games (minimum of four)
Strength of victory in all games
Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games
Best net points in all games
Best net touchdowns in all games
Coin toss

Looks like it's the first determining factor after SoS.

Heartbreaker for the Texans

Who expected the Jags to hold the #1 seed at any point this season?

They had the easiest division on paper by far entering the season. I don't think that's surprising at all. Only reason it's surprising is they struggled early in the season.

Fine, in the case that 2 teams have the exact same SOS out of 272 games, it would come into play. I assume the odds of that are extremely slim.

Ty Johnson just missed a block leading to Josh Allen getting sacked. Just thought everyone should know

[reuben]

NFL redzone staff just had to evacuate their building. 

[Badger]

I don't want to root for the Bills but the thought of the Fins winning the division is worse to me.

[Badger]

If you get drunk and squint the Eagles look a lot like the Jets

[Badger]

Wait how the hell are the Colts in the WC right now?

[bojanglesman]

Jets sold what was left for their soul to beat the Eagles.

[reuben]

Wait how the hell are the Colts in the WC right now?

You deemed them irrelevant and they snuck up on you. 

[Heismanberg]

Wait how the hell are the Colts in the WC right now?

They invested in a backup QB

[Andrew Ryan]

Haven't been on the board much lately so I'm wondering if anyone else shares the perception that this is one of the worst NFL seasons in recent memory.
