READ DOWN a column (or ACROSS).
Example, the Dolphins have clinched the tiebreaker vs. BUFF & PITT & CLEVE & SD. They also have clinched the 3-way tie over BALT, and there are no 2-way wildcard ties possible with MIA & BALT.
Also, there are no 2-way wildcard ties possible with HOUS & PITT.

due to differences in CONF record, there is only one true 3-way tie.
KC-PT-MIA ... which is broken by KC head2head sweep vs PT & MIA.

In the NFC, at 10-6, DALLAS has clinched the wildcard tiebreaker over GB and over SEA. The 3-way tie at 10-6, with PHIL as East winner:
SEA #5, DAL #6, GB IS OUT.

AZ vs. GB:
WILDCARD TIE AT 11-5
if GB 11th win is versus TB, GB IS #6 SEED.
if GB 11th win is versus DET and DET is also 11-5 (win DIV), then GB IS #5 seed due to common games with SEA (AND SEA gets #6 seed).

#5 seed gets to play SOUTH DIV winner.

tiebreaker chart useless without interpreter.

battle for final AFC wildcard spot, ranking:

1. SD
2. BALT
3. BUFF
4. HOUS
5. KC

if SD wins, they are in. If they fail, it opens the door for BALT. Then:
if BALT wins, they are in. If they fail, it opens the door for BUFF. Then:
if BUFF wins out final 2, they are in. If they fail, it opens the door for HOUS. Then:
if HOUS wins, they are in. If they fail, it opens the door for KC. Then:
KC is in, unless the game was a tie, then it is SD @ 9-6-1.

If Cinn loses out to 9-6-1, two 10-6 teams could get in (of SD-BALT-BUFF).
