NFL Week 15

[Exile on Waveland]

Good win for the Titans yesterday, I guess. That's the best we've looked since we were 5-2.

 

Now, we need the Colts and Jags to lose next week, the Jags to lose in two weeks and then the Indy/Tennessee game in 2 weeks would be for the division. I really hope that happens, because that'd be a really fun game to watch.

 

The Colts will lose in Oakland, don't worry.

I just ran it on the playoff machine thingie and if the Titans won out and the Colts and Jags lost out, the Titans would in fact be division champs. It goes division record, common opponents, and then conference record I believe when determining divisional ties.

 

I didn't think about common opponents. I guess that's where the Titans would have the advantage? Because we'd be tied in division record and would have the worst conference record of the three.

I doubt it, but hopefully McFadden will have one of those monster days Sunday. I'm not real confident that the imploding (too soft a word?) Redskins will beat the Jags either. The Texans can beat Jacksonville, though.

Common opponents between division teams is easy to figure out since only 2 games differ in everyone's schedule. You figure out the record each team has vs. those uncommon opponents, and the one with the worst record against them wins the tiebreaker. The Titans are 0-2 vs. uncommon opponents (Pit, Mia), which is worse/better than Indy (1-1 vs. Cin and NE) and Jacksonville (2-0 vs. Cle and Buf).

Nice. I hadn't even thought about common opponents as a tiebreaker when I was figuring it out originally. I figured it'd go head-to-head, division and conference record – in that order.
