14.5/36=.4027~

You have to give the .5 for the tie, because it's not a loss or a win. They even add .5 to see who goes into the playoffs if they have the same wins.

Yeah, and ABOVE .500 Dalton is 9-8 which is 52%
Well we disagree on that because I was looking for wins against winning teams...not credit for the tie. Your example is accurate in that it is necessary for comparing the record of two teams to determine a playoff berth or a seeding. It is not valid as part of the equation when it is a simple stat. Wins against teams of .500 or better. 
I also am curious of your stats of teams with winning records. We may be using different data. The parameter for what is a .500 team is not based on the record of the team at the end of the year, but at the time the Bengals played them. 
For instance if the Bengals beat a 0-3 Steelers team in week 4 and the steelers then go on to win 9 of the last 12 to be 9-7 then the Bengals do not get credit of beating a .500 or better team. Conversely if the Bengals open the season with the Browns and beat them and the Browns go on to a 4-12 season the bengals get credit for beating a 500 or better team.  See this is called simple relative stats...taking the data at the time of the event rather than judging the event after the aggregate of the season is compiled. 

That why this statement is always true ...Figures don't lie but liars figure.
