Am I the only one that doesn't like the tiebreaker rule with 3 teams where if 2 are in the same division they start there? That seems like an arbitrary and unnecessary advantage to the team in the different division to bypass a tiebreaker like that. I think it would be more appropriate to start with comparing conference records.

This is a stupid first tie breaker rule in a 3 way tie

If the Lions pull of a miracle and beat the Vikings on Sunday, it opens things up so much for the Bears that it’s crazy. I’d bet the Bears playoff chances jump 10 percentage points at least. They could afford to lose either the Packers or Chiefs game and still have a winner take all Week 17. Hell, if the Vikings lose 2 of 3 of Lions/Chargers/Packers, it opens things up even more.

I’m not saying it’s likely, but there are possibilities here, people!

Everyone's counting the Rams out against Seattle. I hope I'm wrong, but I think there's a good chance that the Rams win it. The line has been bet down all the way to pick 'em, and the Rams have always played Seattle tough. Again, I hope I'm wrong!
