One of the tie breakers for the #1 Seed is common opponents (minimum of 4) and that tie breaker comes before the strength of schedule tie breaker. Cincinnati and New England do have 4 common opponents this season:
1. Pittsburgh
2. Buffalo
3. Denver
4. Houston
Since Houston is one of the 4 Common opponents we share with New England, if we're concerned about winning that #1 Seed from New England in the playoffs - this game tonight matters more than just the win/loss column - it's one of the tie breakers - so tonight's game could technically count as a game and a half in playoff seeding.
How does it work if we split with the steelers? We play them twice...NE once. If we win and lose to them, how does it work?
