If the NFL Playoffs Started on 12/16.

[Skywarp!]

Eagles (8-2) would be the No. 1 seed in the NFC based on better conference record than Rams (8-3).

 

Patriots (9-1) would be No. 1 seed in AFC based on better conference record than the Chiefs (10-2).

 

Bengals (3-2) would win the AFC North based on better division record than the Ravens (2-2).

 

Packers (6-2) would win NFC North based on better record in common games (vs. Lions, Bears, Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, Chargers) than the Vikings (5-3). However, if the Packers and Vikings both win out, their record in common games will be tied (They'd both be 8-4. The Vikings still play Kansas City and Arizona, both of which the Packers lost to, while the Packers still play the Raiders and Broncos, who the Vikings split with. That would add one loss and one win to the Vikings common games and two to the Packers, leaving them both at 8-4). The next tie-breaker would be conference record and the Vikings would be better.

 

Vikings would be wild-card over Seahawks based on head-to-head win.
