During the regular season, the NFL Playoff Race Bracket and Seeds reflect how the playoffs would stand if the season ended up to that point. The NFL playoffs are not based on a pure bracket system. In the divisional playoffs, the No. 1 seed is assured of playing the lowest-seeded Wild Card survivor. There are no restrictions on intra-division games and the higher seed of any matchup will have home-field advantage.

AFC Tiebreakers

Indianapolis is the No. 2 seed based on a better won-lost-tied percentage in common games with Baltimore (3-1 to Ravens' 2-2).
Denver is the No. 5 seed based on conference record with Cincinnati, Jacksonville and N.Y. Jets (7-4 to Bengals' 6-4, Jaguars' 5-5 and Jets' 5-5).
Cincinnati is the No. 6 seed based on conference record with Jacksonville and N.Y. Jets (6-4 to Jaguars' 5-5 and Jets' 5-5).
NFC Tiebreakers

New Orleans is the No. 2 seed based on head-to-head record with Dallas (1-0).
N.Y. Giants are the No. 6 seed based on head-to-head record with Atlanta (1-0).

Should be an interesting weekend to see who makes the cut.

Go Saints!!!!!!!

nosuzieno, Jets can still win division . . . vs @ Miami, home to
OAK (in NY) two must wins while NE two must losses @JAX
and @TENN . . . Then I believe Jets hold tie breaker all the way down to level 4 most conference wins. A stretch, yes, but . . . pays 12:1 . . .

Seeing Indy V Balt would be pretty awesome. Give Indy home field to make it sporting! Baltimore mops up Denver in the first round.

Chargers advance out of the AFC anyway.

Dallas & Saints rematch, the winner advances to the Super Bowl to lose to the Chargers, LT winning SB MVP. Chicago loses at home to Philly in some ridiculous miracle comeback.

Its interesting that the Eagles can give themselfs a Christmas present on Christmas. With a win, to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Only thing that scares me there is the NE v. TENN game..Might be possible to hedge it though. If you go taht route, consider ML bet on NE today at risk amount to cover Prop. If NE wins, even IF NE loses, still at 11-1 with 3 games to go. If NE loses, do same thing with Jets tomorrow +
enough to cover ne ML bet. Jets lose, then you go into next week at 9-1 on two game ML parlay NYJ amd TENN. Or...just let it ride GL~~~
