This years AFC East Champ is....... (1 Viewer)

[brady2moss]

I took a quick look at the remaining schedule and this is what I came up with.

If the Pats win out against SEA, OAK, ARI, BUF (very doable) and the Jets lose one of there remaining divisional games (BUF or MIA) and win the rest.

Both teams end up 11-5.....

the tie breaker would breakdown as follows for division

Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). PATS/JETS record 1-1 vs. each other

Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. SAME DIVISION RECORD

It would come down to....

Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games

Jets beat KC

Pats beat KC

Jets beat STL

Pats beat STL

Jets lost to DEN

Pats beat DEN

Jets lost to OAK

Pats TBD

Jets beat ARI

Pat TBD

Jets TBD against SEA

Pats TBD against SEA

This could be very intersting if the above mentioned scerenrio shakes out.

Any thoughts?

While it is interesting, I'm just hoping NE outperforms the Ravens who have a tougher schedule to get in as the wildcard.

If the Pats get in, I believe the Jets will be the 3 seed, which is ideal as I'm confident Belichick wins the 3rd game versus Mangini.

It's interesting because Miami now controls their destiny and will win the division if they win their last four. Which is nothing short of remarkable.

@Bills, SanFran, @Chiefs, @Jets is doable for them, but I think Jets will need that win to take division or wildcard.Either way, Parcells and Sparano are doing a fantastic job. Fish fans had to wait too long for this.

Fun division to watch this year that is for sure. Fairly possible that 3 teams could end up with 10 wins, and that is pretty remarkable.

If the Jets and Pats end up with the same record, the Pats advance if the Jets loss was within the division and the Jets advance if the loss was outside the division. If the Jets lose to SEA or SF, they'd have a better record than NE. If they lose to MIA or BUF, they'd have the same division record. The tiebreaker would be common opponents, of which there are 12. The other four games consist of the two H2H (a wash) and the Jets beating TEN and CIN and the Pats losing to IND and PIT. So obviously NE would be two games worse in noncommon opponents, and thus if tied, would be two games up in common opponents.

Those Pats games aren't TBD in your scenario. You already said they were Pats wins, right? I think the Pats simply win the division here.

Yes... this scenerio would give the division to the pats. This past Sunday night I was wondering if the Pats would even get a wildcard spot. Just wanted to put this out there. The division is wide open with 4 games left!

http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...6&start=576basically, we need buffalo or miami to beat the jets, but let's not get carried away winning all these games before they're played.

right now all we need to worry about is beating seattle.

 

[The_Man]

Right, but what happens in this scenario if Miami also wins out to reach 11-5? Then it's a 3-way tie.

 

[-baller]

IF pats + miami run the table, and let's not get carried away here, they would have equal division record, I believe, so it falls to the next tiebreaker, being common opponents ---- the miami w17 win would probably screw the jets.

once again, IF tey both run the table, looks like common opponents is a tie, so it falls to afc record, I think, miami having only 4 afc losses to new england's 5.

but let's worry about seattle first, plz.

in this scenario, jets end up 3rd on common opponents tiebreaker.

exactly. Miami has the tiebreaker over both teams if they win out, and over either as well.
