Den v Mia common, 9-7
Oak , Cin, Jets, Hous
Miami 3-2
Den 3-2
ESPN playoff machine is flawed.
I put same entries into 538, diff result.
ESPN say Mia gets tie over Den at 9-7
Wrong. Not if 7th loss is conf
What do these comments in #67 and #68 even mean? Can’t make sense of what you’re talking about.
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
