The Bengals do not get a neutral field if the Chiefs are seeded 2nd and the Bengals 3rd, despite the Bengals having the same number of losses. I.e. the chiefs lose, the Bengals win, and Buffalo wins. 

That is a totally inconsistent policy on the part of the NFL. it is opposite of the Ravens decision and opposite of the Buffalo and KC getting a neutral field if they are separated by a half game.

I don't meant this towards you but holey shit, this is all making my head hurt. It's kind of a never ending debate because they're "consistent" in everyone playing by percentages in the divisional round but playing by "if's" in the championship round.

There's a valid argument to be made about playing by percentages or if's for both rounds.

It's all so muddled and ****** up...i'm about done with it. Again, no disrespect to you, i'm just over it at this point.
