Questions About Nfl Standings Wild Card

Mark asks…

Can someone explain to me how the wild card works in MLB standings?

I mostly watch NBA, which doesn't have wild cards for playoff positioning. Can someone explain how the MLB wild card works? Also, do you know if it's the same as how wild card works for NFL?

thx

admin answers:

Wildcard is the best win/loss record among teams from each league who IS NOT first in their division. The national league and american league each have one, and thats the 4th postseason team

Say, the Brewers (central) Phillies (east) and diamondbacks (west) lead their respective divisions, and the Braves (east) have the best win loss average among teams not in the lead, Then the Braves win the wildcard. (I chose random teams haha)

I don't pay attention to football as much, but yes it should be exactly the same.

Michael asks…

Could someone please explain how the Jags have the edge for the wild card over the Dolphins?

According to all sites, if the season ended today, the Jags would have the wild card over the Dolphins. How is that possible considering they now have the same record and the Dolphins beat the Jags today. I was under the impression that the first step in a tiebreaker would be the winner of a head to head game.

Tie Breaking Procedures.

admin answers:

Its the primary tie-breaking rule when there's more than two teams with the same record. Jax has the best conference record of the teams tied at 7-6 right now. In that sense, the Dolphins technically are behind Baltimore as well right now.


Corrected statement from my earlier wrong statement:
Jacksonville has the conference record tie-breaker over both Miami and Baltimore and NY as of right now. It also has the common opponents tie-breaker in its favor over all three teams. These are the primary and secondary tie-breakers in the event more than two teams in the conference were to finish tied at the end of the season.

Next thursday, Jacksonville hosts Indy. Dolphins fans might want to watch that one.
