If I happen to lose to the Gunslingers, will I lose the 2 seed to the winner of the Express/Sabercats due to a worse conference/division record? I'm assuming conference record for sure, but I'm unsure of the division record mattering. I would prefer to stay as far away from Warthog as possible, but the more I think about it I would rather rest my platoon of wounded starters since the American playoffs will be such a bloodbath regardless.


Basically seeding ties are like wildcard ties. Head to head is first, followed by conference record. After that the NFL goes to common games, not sure if MFN does as well or if they use net points. Somewhere MNF diverges from NFL protocol, just not sure where and never had a straight answer.

If you lose and LA wins, LA is #2 and you're #3. If you lose and San Jose wins, you'll both be 8-4 in conference and it goes to the next tiebreaker, which as I said above, I'm not sure what JDB uses next. Good luck to you.
