How the tiebreakers work
When teams finish with the same record, the predictor applies the NFL's tiebreaking procedures in order. Division ties go to head-to-head record, then division record, common games, conference record, strength of victory and strength of schedule. Wild-card ties first keep only the best team from each division, then use head-to-head (a sweep if three or more teams are tied), conference record, common games (minimum four), strength of victory and strength of schedule. Points-based steps use real scores from games already played. Read the full tiebreaker rules.
