Tie Break: “Strength of Victory”

[cuban_refugee]

Right now Dolphins have the Tie Break lead on Ravens due to our better Conference record. However, if we end up tied at the end of season.....the Tie Break would be for “Strength of Victory”. I read up on what strength of victory means but have no idea who would have the edge. You?

Fins will win at tie breaker of Ravens, Browns and I think the Colts.

I guess we root for Steelers over Colts this week and Green Bay over Tennessee.

Hard to imagine Miami reaching the playoffs without winning out, though. Baltimore plays the Giants and Cincinnati, so most likely finishes 11-5.

At this point winning out is the easiest way.....and most likely way to get in the playoffs.

Jingle Jills, Jingle Jills
Buffalo going to lose
Oh what fun it is to ride
On Tua's golden sleigh.

Well one can only hope.

I think Miami would be better off with Buffalo winning this week so they lock in the #2 seed. They probably will rest their starters during the final game against Miami in that case.

The Ravens...it’s the winning percentage of the games they won.

That’s why we need a better conference record than them!

If we win out we are in. Nothing another team can do to prevent it. It gets more complicated if there is a bunch of 10-6 teams.

Yes, probably. I see both Indianapolis and Tennessee doing no worse than 11-5. Baltimore probably ends 11-5.

That's the best Miami can do and if Buffalo rests some starters, the Dolphins odds of winning are higher.

Of course, have to take care of the Raiders first.

Not so fast.
I want when we play the Bills, the game for them is meaningless....should we root for steelers instead?

The Bills and Steelers are currently tied and the Bills beat them head to head so the are #2 seed. If Steelers lose this week and Bills win than it won't matter what the Bills do in week 17 because he they lose and Steelers win they would be tied but Bills get tie breaker. If they both win this week, than next week Bills will need to win because if they lose and Steelers win they will drop to 3rd.

Baltimore wins SOV since they already have three wins over 10 win Cleveland and Indianapolis. Miami best win is the rams who just lost to the Jets lol
