Who Wins A Playoff Game First?

Schedule strength isn't the point...when a team in your division can win 12-15 games per season you are going to have a much harder time making the playoffs than a team that hasn't failed to make the playoffs every time Marvin Lewis cracks 9 wins.  WHoops did I say that?!

Which is harder? Trying to have a better record than 1 great team? Or trying to have a better record than 3 really good teams?

I highly doubt the Packers and Seahawks were doing the tie-breaking gymnastics in their head last year that the Bengals, Steelers, and Ravens were.
