Just a couple of plays seperating the 2 teams.<br /><br />Losing to Denver is no shame for sure.mitchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-13458865773443637732013-12-05T14:05:50.361-05:002013-12-05T14:05:50.361-05:00Anon, CAR's other loss is to BUF, which is a c...Anon, CAR's other loss is to BUF, which is a common opponent, so they would tie at that tiebreaker. The next tiebreaker after that is Conference record, which NO wins by one game (two of NO's losses are AFC; only one of CAR's losses is AFC).<br /><br />If the two teams split their games, and each lose another, there do remain some scenarios in which one team can win at the divisional record tiebreak, or they could go as far as the strength of victory tiebreak.Colin McFaulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-21767771285757642502013-12-05T10:15:08.623-05:002013-12-05T10:15:08.623-05:00Anon, using the GWP estimates and the nfl-forecast...Anon, using the GWP estimates and the nfl-forecast.com tool, a NO-Car split has NO winning the divsision ~82% of the simulations.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01838293735141324662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-12743878810415656922013-12-05T09:22:09.645-05:002013-12-05T09:22:09.645-05:00You say Saints will almost certainly win division ...You say Saints will almost certainly win division if they split with Carolina? False. Divisional tiebreaks are different from seeding tiebreaks. If both teams win out, they would both be 1-1 head to head, and they would both be 5-1 in the division. Next tie break is common opponents, and New Orleans will be 7-3 (losing to Seattle, Jets, and Pats), while Carolina would be 8-2 (losing to Seattle and Arizona). Considering New Orleans also has the toughest remaining game (In St. Louis), the Panthers should be favored to win division.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-20409869378816731812013-12-04T09:39:33.579-05:002013-12-04T09:39:33.579-05:00Sorry if I missed this, but what happened to the G...Sorry if I missed this, but what happened to the Giants?
