    That doesn't sound right. I thought the tiebreaker goes heads up, then divisional, then common opponent

    If we both finish 9-7 we would have the same head up and division record. Then it goes to common opponents now, it used to be conf. record before common opp. (which we would win regardless W or L next week) but since they switched it Dallas would have a 3-1 Comm opp. in comparison to our 2-2 record.

    o ok. dude said they had a better record within their division. That's why I was confused

    Yes..what's even more confusing is that for Wild Card spots, Conference Record comes before Common Opponents in tiebreaking scenarios. And division records obviously dont matter

    At least the Boyz really have to earn this by beating the team they need to jump to get that last spot.

    Skins should win tho.
