Do they use the same tiebreakers as the ones they use for the playoffs? If so they’d have the same record, same H2H, same division record, same common games record, same conference record so it would come down to strength of victory which the Vikings are leading (current SOV for Minnesota is .436 Bears SOV is .354) Breaking it out even more, the Viking wins have a combined record of 13 games under .500, Bears wins have a combined record of 32 games under .500. Maybe possible for the Bears to catch up there but seems unlikely You’d think it’d be the same. Thanks for the mini research, hopefully the Bears are safe from 2nd!! Edit: I went to the playoff machine on espn and put all the teams they beat with losses and all the teams we beat with wins in week 17 and it still shows us 3rd. Funny they use the same mechanism to determine which crappy team will “win” the right to get clobbered the following season.
