That was 67. For 68, the tie Miami-Den would be:
Mia 8-8, 6-6 conference
Den 8-8, 6-6.

They have 4 common opponents.
Oak , Cin, Jets, Hous.

Their records in the 5 games vs those teams:
Miami 3-2
Den 3-2

So common games is tied. The next tiebreaker is SOV. Strength of victory.

None of the 7 win teams beats Den at SOV, so they are still in the conversation if none of the 7 win teams gets to 9 wins. Ba, Mi, Tn, Indy, Cleve

Den has .475 SOV. as of now. Changes with each game

Thanks for the explanation. I will admit most of the tie breaker scenarios make my mind numb. I’ll check out the link to hopefully make some sense of possible scenarios.
