Doing predictions before free agency, the draft, and coaches are hired is practically worthless. There's no telling what some teams will look like next year.

2010-2011 NFL Reg.Season Standings?

Here's Mine

AFC North-*Bengals(11-5) (Offense is back)
Ravens(9-7) (Missing Ed Reed hurts,come up short of playoffs)
Steelers(7-9) (Big Jen out 4-6 weeks,too much distractions)
Browns(5-11) (It's the Cleveland Browns...)

AFC South-*Colts(13-3) (Colts too strong)
*Titans(10-6) (Avoid starting 0-6, and they are good)
Texans(8-8) (Not quite there yet)
Jaguars(6-10) (Another long season)

AFC East-*Patriots(10-6) (Not their strongest season,very close with the Jets)
*Jets(10-6) (Lose tie breaker to Patriots)
Dolphins(8-8) (Not this year)
Bills(3-13) (No hope what so ever)

AFC West-*Chargers(10-6) (Tough season, Jackson is a FA)
Broncos(8-8) (Lost Marshall, fell apart last year)
Chiefs(7-9) (See improvment in this team)
Raiders(4-12) (Bad team)

NFC North-*Vikings(12-4) (Barely beat out the Pack,I hate Bret Favre)
*Packers(11-5) (Hang with Vikings,come up shortof division)
Bears(9-7) (This team scares me)
Lions(2-14) (Nowhere close)

NFC South-*Saints(13-3) (Very strong team)
*Panthers(9-7) (Running game gets Clausen & Panthers winning season)
Falcons(8-8) (Come up short in long run)
Buccaneers(6-10) (Little improvement)

NFC East-*Cowboys(10-6) (Edge out G men)
Giants(8-8) (Just miss playoffs)
Eagles (7-9) (Don't trust in Kolb)
Redskins(7-9) (Not enough to make it in)

NFC West-*49ers(9-7) (Strong D, win a weak division)
Cardinals(8-8) (Matt Leinart won't get it done)
Seahawks(7-9) (Some improvement)
Rams(4-12) (Few more seasons until Bradford leads to playoffs)

Just want to see anyone's agreements/disagreements (probably lots of disagreements and hate) but whatever

admin answers:

AFC North-*Bengals(11-5) (I agree with this one, and this record too. They might lose the first game but their schedule looks pretty easy until November.)
Ravens(9-7) (I also agree with this record too. They've got some tough games.)
Steelers(7-9) (Big Jen, lol. 8-9 losses seems about right. This is getting weird. We need to disagree on something.)
Browns(1-15) (About time we disagree. I don't think they've made all that much progress at all. Some times sports just doesn't seem fair. This town is trying to get over LeBron and now they have a pretty tough schedule along with their lack of talent.)

AFC South-*Colts(13-3) (Regular season champs. Like always. Can't carry it into the postseason.)
Texans(9-7) (Texans get the tie breaker with Titans.)
Titans(9-7) (I have these guys losing 7-8 games.)
Jaguars(6-10) (yeah, I agree. 10-11 loses seems about right looking at their schedule. MJD can only do but so much.)

AFC East-*Patriots(12-4) (this is basically wishful thinking, me being a Patriots fan. If the team comes together like I'm hoping they will they'll be very good for years to come with all the new young talent.)
Jets(10-6) (this is about right. Kinda tough schedule but they have some nice players.)
Dolphins(8-8) (8-9 loses. I agree. Really tough schedule.)
Bills(3-13) 13-14.( Agreed again. Tough schedule and not enough talent.)

AFC West-*Chargers(11-5) (easy teams to start the season so Jackson ban won't hurt them all that much.)
Broncos(8-8) (7-8 losses, I agree. They get the tie breaker.)
Chiefs(8-8) (very much improved.)
Raiders(4-12) (I'm hoping you're right on this.)

NFC North-*Vikings(11-5) (Tough schedule but they have alot of talent. Get tie breaker.)
Packers(11-5) (I agree.)
Bears(6-10) (I'm not so optimistic about this team.)
Lions(2-14) (I'm going to agree with you on this schedule but I won't be surprised if they got 0-16 again. Tough schedule.)

NFC South-*Saints(13-3) (3-4 loses I agree. Didn't lose much this offseason.)
Falcons(10-6) (Schedule looks favorable.)
Panthers(6-10) (I can't see them doing much. That defense took a big hit losing Peppers.)
Buccaneers(6-10) (I agree. Tough schedule.)

NFC East-*Cowboys(9-7) (Tough schedule but luckily for them the NFC East has weakened.)
Giants(8-8) (I agree, 7-8 wins. Very close with the Cowboys.)
Eagles (7-9) (8-9 loss team, I agree.)
Redskins(7-9) (also agree here.)

NFC West-*49ers(10-6) (I could see them winning 11 because their schedule looks ridiculously easy.)
Cardinals(8-8) (agree here too.)
Seahawks(7-9) (8-9 losses is about right.)
Rams(4-12) (I agree. Bradford will take time.)

Questions About Nfl Standings Tie Breakers

John asks…

Question about 2002 playoff tie breaker, cant seem to figure out why?

I am trying to figure out why the Browns clinched playoff but not the Dolphins. Indianapolis Colts took the 5th spot. So there are 4 teams fighting for the 6th spot. They are Dolphins, Browns, Broncos, and Patriots all with 9-7-0. Although NYJ also has 9-7-9, it is a division champion, so it is not in this competition of the 6th spot. I applied the NFL tie breaker rules for teams from different divisions.
From : http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head, if applicable.

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

4. Strength of victory.

5. Strength of schedule.

6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best net points in conference games.

9. Best net points in all games.

10. Best net touchdowns in all games.

11. Coin toss.
Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)

1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.

2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

5. Strength of victory.

6. Strength of schedule.

7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

9. Best net points in conference games.

10. Best net points in all games.

11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

12. Coin toss

The highest ranked division champions have been eliminated so we proceed to step 2. Since not all of the teams have played against each other, we proceed to step 3. Dolphins and Browns both have the best conference record. So we will only look at those two teams again start from step2 again. Dolphins did not play against the Browns, and they have same conference record. So now we use rule 3 for two teams.

Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.


Miami and Cleveland both played Indianapolis
Miami and Cleveland both played New York Jets.
Miami and Cleveland both played Kansas City
Miami and Cleveland both played Baltimore

MIAMI Lost to NYJ 10:13
MIAMI BEAT NYJ 30:3
MIAMI beat BALTIMORE 26:7
MIAMI BEAT INDIANA 21:13
MIAMI lost to KANSAS 48:30

So MIAMI has 60%

CLEVELAND LOST TO IND 23:28
CLEVELAND BEAT BALTIMORE 14:13
CLEVELAND LOST TO KC 40:39
CLEVELAND LOST TO BALTIMORE 21:26
CLEVELAND BEAT NYJ 24:21

So Cleveland has 40%

Thanks
This is the matchup
http://www.nfl.com/schedules?seasonType=POST&season=2002#Week
as we can see, dolphins didnt make the playoff even though it has higher % for common games with cleveland.
http://www.nfl.com/schedules?seasonType=REG&season=2002#Week
heres the 2002 record for all teams
I do not think they have changed the tie-breaker rules.
http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures
NFL Tiebreaking Procedures

(March 20, 2002) -- With the NFL realigning into eight four-team divisions to accommodate the arrival of the Houston Texans, the league adopted new tiebreaking rules.

admin answers:

WOW, that's alot to comprehend

Betty asks…

What's the deal with the AL East Standings? Rays declared champs, but lead by 2 with 2 games remain..?

As of this posting, Tampa Bay leads Boston by 2 games..
Tampa Bay 96 - 64
Boston 94 - 66
But the Rays have been declared champs of the AL East and are celebrating. Seems to me, they've mathematically cinched a tie, but not the division championship.

Maybe the league uses some sort of tie breaker like the NFL, but I thought MLB had a 1 game playoff if there was a tie for a division title. Anyone have an explanation?

admin answers:

They had a better season series. They went 10-8 against the Red Sox so if the two ended in a tie, the Rays would immediately win the division title. The only time there would be an exception is if the two teams were tied and fighting to get in the playoffs but both teams have already clinched their chances to getting to the playoffs so there will be no tie breaker game.

Laura asks…

which two teams will make the wild card in the AFC?

i really want Baltimore and i actually think they will make it but here is the standings right now:
http://www.nfl.com/standings?category=conf

I think Baltimore has the tie breaker over the Broncos because they beat them and they both play easy teams next week so they will have the same record most likely
The jets have a hard game against Cincinnati, while Houston plays New England; Steelers play Dolphins

Im guessing its steelers and Baltimore, what do you think?

admin answers:

I agree with you; Steelers & Ravens.

Steven asks…

Why is New England ranked over Miami?

NFL tie breaking rules:

http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

Both teams are 8-5

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). They split head to head meetings.

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. Both are 3-2.

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. Miami has 6 wins and 1 loss. New England has 5 wins and two losses. Shouldn't Miami win this tiebreaker?

4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Miami is 6-4 and New England is 5-5. Shouldn't Miami also win this tie breaker?

Both NFL.com and Yahoo Sports have New England ranked #2 in the AFC East and Miami ranked # 3.

admin answers:

If the playoffs were to begin today, neither would make the playoffs. That would go to the Colts & Ravens. They appear to have an easy last 3 games, but you can never count a game in the W column until it's over. After week 17 we will know if they are in or if they are vying for a draft pick.

Just would like to know what teams are having trouble stopping the run and which teams are not this year.

Idk about standings but you can check up on the matchups of the week at ESPN and go to preview, it will pop up the top scorers for each team and show the defense and offense on runs and pass plays what their average is.

Paul asks…

How can I make a spreadsheet of NFL standings on microsoft word?

I'm not very good with microsoft programs and I was wondering if there is a table/spreadsheet that I could copy off the internet and fill in the information I need like the team name, along with wins and losses myself. All help will be greatly appreciated!

admin answers:

You're better off with Excel for spreadsheets, pumpkin. Word will certainly allow you to create a table in which to enter text and figures, but it won't do any automatic calculations for you, or allow you to create formulas.

If you still want to use Word, just go to the Insert menu, click the drop-down arrow under the Table icon to view the Insert Table pop-up, drag your cursor to highlight the number of columns and rows you think you'll need, and click. The table you designed will appear on the page. If you find that you need more rows, you can place your cursor outside the end of a row and press Enter to add another.

Once the table is on the page, you can fill in the columns and rows as you like.

Just remember, it will be a table, not a spreadsheet, so it won't do any automatic calculations for you.

Good luck!

Questions About Nfl Standings Yahoo

Sandra asks…

NFL:What would happen in these playoff scenarios?

Say the Raiders beat the Chargers and the Broncos beat the Chiefs, who would win the Division?

Both teams would have equal Conference and Division records, and they split the head-to-head series 1-1. How would it be decided?

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/standings The standings are almost identical.

I remember reading on Yahoo that the Raiders would win most "Strength of schedule" Tiebreakers.

admin answers:

If Denver wins next week, they will win the division no matter what Oakland does.

Oakland needs to beat the Chargers and they need Denver to lose to Kansas City.

I'm not exactly sure why. I use ESPN's Playoff Machine. You can pick the winners of the games and it will show you who would win the division. It's much quicker and easier than reading through the tiebreaking scenarios and then trying to figure out who would win what.

Http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/machine

BUT, if Oakland beats San Diego and Denver beats Kansas City, and the Ravens beat the Bengals, the Raiders would get a Wild Card. LOL, it's crazy.

Lizzie asks…

Who expected Carolina's defense to be only 16 points behind the Titans at this point in the season?

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/standings;_ylt=AiZKFosuUulx83qXXErBAQx_2bYF

In points allowed only one team has permitted fewer points than the Carolina defense, and with Detroit coming up next week for the Panthers, and Jacksonville coming up for the Titans who knos whow it will turn out by the end of next week. God bless defense.

admin answers:

I've been impressed with the Panthers' defense thus far. I've been saying for a few weeks they are probably the top defense in the NFC.

I'm not a Panthers' fan, but I hate the Broncos, so I'll cheer for them at least once this season. Hopefully, they can make Cutler cry, too.

Robert asks…

NFL 2008: Can anyone explain how the NY Giants have clinched their division with 2 games still left to play?

Both Yahoo Sports Standings and NFL Standings have indicated the Giants have clinched the NFC East, but there are still 2 games left to play.

The Giants are division leaders with an 11-3 record, the Cowboys are second with a 9-5 record. Both teams have split their head-to-head games this season.

The question is if NYG finishes their final two games and goes 0-2, and if DAL goes 2-0, both team records would be tied. So how does the NFL tiebreaker clinch the Giants to win the division with 2 games still left to play?

For reference: http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

SEE: TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION

I look forward to your honest, sincere & clear answers.

Thanks,
- TJ
WINNER: Nick has the right idea... thanks to all!

The NFL's 2nd tiebreaker for Division Winner IS division record, yet this is not the tiebreaker that clinches NYG with the NFC East title. For if NYG and DAL finish with same regular season record, then they will also have the same division records. Hence, Nick and others were correct to look at the 3rd tiebreaker: record against common opponents.

NYG and DAL have 8 common (non-division) opponents, (CLE, CIN, ARI, STL, SFO, SEA, PIT, BAL). The Giants played them all and their one loss was to CLE 14-35, giving NYG a 7-1 record against common opponents. Cowboys played 7 of 8 games (BAL is coming up on 12/20), but even if the Cowboys were to beat BAL, they've already lost 3 of these common games (ARI 24-30, STL 14-34, PIT 13-20), so the best they can finish is 5-3, thus giving NYG the 2008 NFC East title.

PS: Based on this knowledge, NYG clinched in Week 14 when Cowboys lost to PIT, even though NYG lost to PHI the same week.

admin answers:

Better common games record, we lost to steelers and cards, they beat them

Steven asks…

Who do you decide a tie for a play off place?

If 2 or 3 teams have the best record in there division, but not all 3 can make the play offs because of space, how do they decide?

This happen with Browns last year and in 2002 it was a 3 way tie in the AFC East

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/standings?year=season_2002

admin answers:

They have been discussing this for many years, and are still trying to perfect the rule. As of now, they go to division record, and if they tied there too, they decide who played a stronger schedule of opponents (opponents are rated by their record the previous year).
