here’s the 9-8 mega-tie for 7th seed when
Chargers beat Raiders.
Indy 9-8 with 7-5 CONF record
Raiders 9-8, 7-5
Miami 9=8, 6-6
Cleve 9-8, 6-6, 4-2 DIV record
Balt 9-8, 6-6, 2-4
More to follow .....
... continued
Indy 9-8 with 7-5 CONF record
Raiders 9-8, 7-5
Miami 9-8, 6-6
Balt 9-8, 6-6
Again, the only way to overcome the superior CONF record of INDY & RAIDERS is by Head-to-Head victory over both.
Neither BALT nor Miami has done that.
In fact, Raiders have beaten Indy, Miami, & BALT (all 3).
So, the above is a 2-way tie:
Indy 9-8, 7-5
Raiders 9-8, 7-5
Raiders win the tiebreaker due to their victory over Indy.
