If Dolphins and Baltimore both win out we own tiebreaker

[TheDon74]

We would have the same record obviously and we would also share identical conference records, so it would go to strength of victory and we would win that handily because they had a very weak schedule this year.

Incorrect.

Common opponents were Patriots, Colts, Chargers & Steelers.

At 10-6, Baltimore's record against them would be 3-2. Ours would be 2-3.

That tiebreak requires four games played to qualify (so it does in this case) and it comes before strength of victory.

NE and Jets is the only team with a winning records we beat. They beat the Chargers (we lost to) and the Broncos....I don't see it favoring us.

As NYCphan points out, we never make it to strength of victory against the Ravens if both teams finish 10-6. Now if both teams finish 9-7 with the Ravens losing to the Steelers and us losing to either the Titans or Texans, then yes, we'd make it past the conference and common opponent (both teams 2-3) tiebreakers to SOV, where we would hopefully win the tiebreaker. However, at 9-7 I find it hard to believe there wouldn't be other teams involved that end the tiebreaker before SOV.

 

[NYCphan]

For what it's worth, we would very probably win a SOV tiebreak with Baltimore if it came into play at 9-7. However, as Oasis points out, there might well be other teams involved which could complicate things further.

As NYCphan points out, it might be complicated. :)

Yeah I somehow read the tiebreaker rules backwards and upside down. I had the 3rd and 4th steps reversed. Thanks for the heads up. :up:
