Sorry for the tardiness. I've been working on memorizing the passing tree, how to breakdown a simple play call, running play hole numbering system, and the defensive technique numbering system, and trying to bang out my NCAA rankings. Also, the rule differences between the AIFA, Arena league, and NFL. Like how the AIFA doesn't use the rebound nets, and if a pass hits the walls (except for the top), it's live and in play but if a runner touches the boards, they're out of bounds.

Seattle can't win the division if they win out and Arizona loses out? I thought they still had to play again.
You can add St. Louis to my above question. I know Arizona still needs to play one or both of them.
Also, looks like Indianapolis is in great shape. I forgot they beat both Baltimore AND New England, and it looks like JAX/SD are crapping the bed this year.

I give them about a 1.5% chance because I don't have the proper data for games that haven't been played yet. Assume, Arizona loses out, Seattle wins out. They both finish 7-9 and split the head to head. They both finish with 4-2 div record They both finish with 5-6 in common games They both finish with 5-7 conference record. What it comes down to is Strength of Victory. If I had to use today's records, Seattle would get the nod with a 36-41 vs 29-48 record. But those wouldn't be the final records. There are about 25 games unaccounted for (5 games each for the final 5 teams they play).
It could go either way but Arizona would have to lose to Phi, Stl, Min, NE, and Seattle. Seattle would also have to beat Dal, NE, Stl, NYJ, and Arizona. Assuming all wins/losses were coin flips, Seattle has a 1/64 chance, if I did my math right. Even if it works in Seattle's favor, they still need all the teams they beat, except Arizona, to win out to get the better SoV.
You can add St. Louis to my above question. I know Arizona still needs to play one or both of them.
Stl has a 0% chance. Arizona is 4-0 in the division, St. Louis is 0-3. After splitting the head to head, if Stl wins their next meetup, the next tiebreaker is division record. Arizona can finish no worse than 4-2, and Stl can finish no better than 3-3.

This is complete and utter horseshit. Simply horseshit, and colossally ignorant. Hopefully if you have children some day, you'll have a change of heart. Especially if they have a mental illness. You turned out great? Sure thing boss.
