The AFC Tiebreakers table presents the status of each team's tiebreakers (in no particular order). Maximum, current, and minimum tiebreakers values are provided. Not all tiebreakers can be listed (such as head-to-head, common games, etc.). Desktop users can hover over a table header or value for detailed information.
Each team plays its non-divisional opponents either zero or one times. A team wins this tiebreaker if it plays all of the tiebreaker teams and wins (no ties) every such game. Likewise a team loses this tiebreaker if it plays all of the tiebreaker teams and loses (no ties) every such game.
Every team plays each of its 3 divisional opponents 2 times for a total of 6 games. In addition, every team plays 6 of its other 12 conference opponents once, resulting in a total of 12 conference games.
Win percentage in common games. Minimum of 4 games.
What is a common game? First of all it does not include any games between the tiebreaker teams. A common game is one against a common opponent. The common opponent must be common to each and every team in the tiebreaker, not just a subset of them.
What does minimum of 4 games mean? Each and every tiebreaker team must play a minimum of 4 common games. Since some teams may play a common opponent twice while others once -- teams may play a different number of common games. Given current NFL scheduling procedures, divisional teams in a tiebreaker will always have at least 8 common games each. Two random non-divisional teams have 85.0 % chance of fulfilling the 4 game requirement. Three random non-divisional teams have 18.7 % chance of fulfilling the 4 game requirement. Four random non-divisional teams have 3.5% chance of fulfilling the 4 game requirement.
Average win percentage of the teams that you have beaten. You do not receive half credit for the strength of teams you tied.
Average win percentage of the teams that you have played. This is equivalent to the number of games your opponents have won (ties count .5).
Numerically rank each conference team two ways. First in points scored (more better) and secondly in points allowed (fewest better). Add these ranking to obtain the tiebreaker value (lowest better) to determine tiebreaker winner.
Numerically rank all teams two ways. First in points scored (more better) and secondly in points allowed (fewest better). Add these ranking to obtain the tiebreaker value (lowest better) to determine tiebreaker winner.
