If SF wins and we we beat Philly the following week, are we in first place?

[CWR]

I think it's conference record and our 3rd loss would be to the Cardinals whereas theirs was to the Jets.

Head to head
Common opponents
Conference

I think that's the order?

 

[SackMaster]

Two Clubs​

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory in all games.
6. Strength of schedule in all games
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss

Conference isn't factored in until #4.

 

[Clove]

They still have tiebreak. We have tough games after and they don’t.. still gonna be an uphill climb

It would be nice for us to get our defense in order and and win out. Tough task, but that's why championship type teams do.

 

[pansophy]

Seattle will beat the Eagles in Seattle...those guys will give the Eagles secondary fits!

We basically need to win out and the Eagles lose the next 3 for us to win the division. If that doesn't happen it doesn't much matter what we do -- we'll be the 5th seed and it will just matter whether the Eagles or SF (or even the Lions) get the 1st seed. I don't think there is going to be a way for us to avoid having to play both the Eagles and SF in the playoffs -- unless by some miracle a .500 team can knock one of them in the first round.

 

[GrouchySmurf]

the problem is they lost to the jets, we lost to all NFC team

I think common opponents is factored first. Not sure though.

 

[loublue22]

if you split the games then the division tiebreaker should be the total points in both games combined, that makes more sense than conference record

 

[TWOK11]

We’d technically be ahead because we’d be 4-1 in the division and they’d be 3-1, but it ultimately doesn’t matter. If both teams finish 14-3 in that scenario Philly owns the tiebreaker.

 

[TWOK11]

Realistically, unless the Giants beat Philly, the only way Dallas wins the division is to win out and have Philly lose the next three.

 

[Virginia-Dave]

You mean twice in addition to losing to Dallas? Because if we're both 14-3 then they still win all tiebreakers since they beat AZ.

Yeah, so they have to lose 3 games. Basically, SF, DAL, and one more. Seems pretty unlikely honestly.

 

[loublue22]

Yeah, so they have to lose 3 games. Basically, SF, DAL, and one more. Seems pretty unlikely honestly.

and we have to beat BUF, MIA, DET and them. Silver lining is we could like clinch the 5 seed with 2-3 weeks left, idk if thats a good or bad thing.

 

[Chasing6]

If Eagles lose to the Niners, we control our own destiny. They should be physically beat up after playing the Niners. We have home field advantage with extra days to recover and time to game plan.

 

[BHendri5]

The Giants will take one of those games from the eagles!! I'm telling everyone now

In the outlined scenario, there’s. 3 way tie between the Niners, cowboys and eagles.

 

[rambo2]

And we beat Philly the following week.

Are we in first place?

I’m not sure how the TB works right now.

Or, we may be still behind but control our own destiny?

Yes, because we beat the Jets and the Eagles lost to the Jets.

 

[nalam]

We need to win out and let the pebbles fall . eggles be damnnned

 

[DCowboyz]

The Cowboys have to win out, and Philly needs to lose twice. After how this Seahawks team played tonight, I'm thinking there's a chance they might beat Philly when they play in Seattle.

Lmao Seattle will score 3 points that game. Mark it down.

 

[rambo2]

I don't see a scenario where we could win that tiebreaker either, but idk.

Common opponents.

 

[Tabascocat]

Dallas would be division leader due to division games but it would change pretty soon.

Seattle is tough at home

The Cowboys have them beat with common opponents if the Eagles lose to the 49ers.
