Green Bay wins the 3-way tiebreaker via their 1-0 record against the tied teams


Saints win the tie breaker IF the Packers lose to the Bears

Conference record is the determining factor

Not in a 3 way tie

First tiebreaker is still W-L-T record against tied teams, even in a 3-way tie.

You’re wrong. Head to head record is thrown out completely unless the 3 teams all played each other.

Unfortunately, it is not. It’s still the first tiebreaker, regardless if all the teams have played each other or not.

If Chicago wins (beats Jacksonville and the Rams beat the Cards) going into the GB game then Chicago is playing for the 7th seed.. Chicago will bring everything they have to beat GB...

NFC Tiebreakers
1st Seed - New Orleans
NFC South Champ
Wins tie break over Seattle and Green Bay based on best win percentage in conference games.
2nd Seed - Seattle
NFC West Champ
Wins tie break over Green Bay based on best win percentage in common games.

That’s in the case of all 3 teams at 12-4 with GB losing to chicago. Unless all 3 teams played, head to head is thrown out

The Bears are playing a lot better since putting Trubisky back in. They’ve won 2 straight and are squarely in the playoff mix.

Still say start planning for Tampa or Arizona at this point....of course it would be nice if we could WIN THE DIVISION when all we need is a win to seal it.

You have a link for that?
I’ve looked at the tie-breaking procedures on NFL’s site and I don’t see where it says that.

Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)


This is for a 3+ team tie. Notice, it’s only applicable if all the teams have played each other. The next tie breaker is conference record.

You’re reading tie breakers within a division, not the conference.

Dude

I love when people are wrong yet fight you tooth and nail. It’s been said a dozen times in this thread. Saints win 3 way tie breaker between GB and SEA at 12-4 if GB loses to Chicago. Playoff machine. Google it. Thank me later

That’s why you don’t lose to the fricking eagles with jalen hurts at qb.

Lol that would be similar to entering three teams into an arrow shooting competition but only giving two of the teams arrows.
