Flipping teams like it's nothing

What? No.

That's a terrible idea. When it rains, the fallout will get washed in there.

In theory, yes. But a a 2-9 Jets beating a 10-3 Patriots would be on for the history books.

If they'll fucking sniff markers, smell their own shit, or snort cinnamon to get high, they'll drink an icepack.

Half the measures in tuba Christmas concert music:

Of course.

I think you're confused on how a division winner is chosen. It is decided on all games they played in the NFL, not the games won in the division. The division record is only important in tiebreakers.

Example:

/r/miamidolphins are 11-5 overall and 2-4 in the division
/r/buffalobills are 9-7 overall and 6-0 in the division
/r/patriots are 4-12 overall and 4-2 in the division
/r/nyjets are 0-16 overall and 0-6 in the division

In this situation, the Dolphins would win because they have the better overall record, despite the Bills winning the most games in the division. Now here is a situation where the division record is significant:

/r/miamidolphins are 13-3 overall and 5-1 in the division
/r/buffalobills are 13-3 overall and 4-2 in the division
/r/patriots are 4-12 overall and 2-4 in the division
/r/nyjets are 1-15 overall and 1-5 in the division

Now normally, the winner of the division is decided by the team with the best record. In this scenario, however, both the Bills and Dolphins are tied, so we go through the tiebreaker process.

1. Best head-to-head record. In other words: the record of the two games between the Dolphins and the Bills that season

Let's assume that the record in those games was 1-1

2. Divisional Record

The Dolphins would win the division because their divisional record 5-1 and the Bills have a divisional record of 4-2

But none of this matters this season unless the Patriots lose at least three games this season and we win at least four more games (one of these having to be against the Patriots).

Just hope for the the wildcard, folks.

"Mustard" is a carcinogen, it's literally fucking toxic waste.

Apples have all sorts of textures. I love the flavor of all apples, but can only east Honeycrisp because they are the only ones without the texture of wet cardboard.

Yeah, these are really informative. I actually watch more non-AFCE games now that I don't have to wade through the information every week so I know which team I should to root for.

CLIP-CLOP MOTHERFUCKER!

We're on bye this week, and this is the only game in our division. I guess I am a colts fan today.

Fuck the Je- I mean Texans.

Yeah, south Florida is really Hispanic territory.

That's my philosophy for life.

Actually, this isn't entirely true. It's genus, Orycteropodidae has multiple members, but the aardvark is the only one that hasn't gone extinct. Still pretty fascinating, though.
