Division standings

AFC · NFC
102 games played so far this season. Clubs are ordered by won-lost-tied percentage over all games, then division record, then conference record. Beyond that ties are NOT broken here, because breaking one takes the league's published procedure and its last steps need points scored and points allowed — open a conference predictor to see the part of it that follows from a pick sheet. A tie in the standings is a tie on this page.

What decides a division

The best won-lost-tied percentage over all games wins the division, and the winner is seeded ahead of every wild card in the conference whatever the records say. Clubs level on percentage are separated by head-to-head, then division record, then common games, then conference record, then strength of victory — the full list, including the steps that need scores, is printed on the predictor pages. Where the seeding stands today is the playoff picture.
