    If we win Monday and the Pats then go 4-0 and we go 3-1, we are tied for the same record after 16 games.

    Jets 13-3
    Pats 13-3

    Jets take the division with head to head. Wow, if we win this game, we are taking the division unless we go 2-2 regardless of what the Pats do
    **********************************************************************************************************
    If the Pats beat the Jets and we go 4-0 and they go 3-1,

    Jets 13-3
    Pats 13-3

    Head to head is tied so it would be divsion record which depends on who they lose to. If they lose the one game to Miami or Buff, we would have the better divsion record and take the division. after that I beleive its conference and then common opponent. Let me know what you think

    I think the winner of Monday's game wins the AFC East.

    I think after head-to-head and division, it's common opponents first (would be tied because both teams beat both noncommon opponents), then conference, which would depend on Jets/Chic & NE/GB. Afer that, it gets very hard to figure.

    Pretty much, but we are going up against tough D's in the Bears and Steelers, so it may not be set in stone, if we do finish 14-2/13-3, I'll freak and then be pissed cause the number one seed hasn't won it all for a long time. But those damn Jets be breaking streaks and records all year, and there are some more coming up!

    Whatever happens Monday night there's still a quarter of the season left after that, including another round of division games for everybody. If we win we take a commanding lead but either way nothing is settled. If you look at it in terms of a baseball season, this is the second week of August.

    Yeah, the Jets shouldn't (and will not) take the attitude of "hey we beat the Pats so we just took the divisions, drinks are on us!". The Bears and Steelers road games will be tough

    The Bears have a good chance beating the Pats.

    if it comes down to a coin toss...

    Rex to Belicheck: "Heads we win, tails you lose, OK?"

    Belicheck: "Ah, OK".

    In Rex we trust.

    That is correct.

    To break a tie within a division-
    1. head-to-head
    2. division record
    3. common games
    4. conference record
    5. strength of victory

    There are seven other steps, but I won't bother to list them. The league has never had to go to a sixth step to break a tie at any point in history.

    I am pretty sure that a couple times it has gotten past the fifth tiebreaker.

    I wrote the following a few days ago-

    Strength of victory is currently the 5th step to break ties within divisions (and also to break ties when three or more teams are tied for a wild card spot).

    At no time in NFL history has a 6th step ever been needed to break a tie.

    From 1978-2001 the fifth step was better net points in division games. Seven times that step was needed.
    1980: SD-OAK
    1980: PHI-DAL
    1990: DET-GB
    1990: LA-ATL
    1996: CIN-HOU
    1997: PIT-JAC
    1998: MIA-BUF


    Under the 1971-77 tie-breaking procedures, the fifth step was needed one time. In 1975, Minnesota was declared the top playoff seed based on a better Point Rating System than Los Angeles.

    It'd really suck to be 13-3 and play an away game as a fifth seed.
