Or when we had a six team division which meant we had more divisional games than out of division?
Teams within a division only have 2 games determined by last years prior record.
Teams within a division play the same 12 games.
Then the other 2 games are the other division opponent. (For instance, we'd play the Steelers twice and they'd play us twice.)
The Steelers winning percentage being lower HAD to be because either we finished better than them...or we were really bad...and playing us twice a year skewed their SoS.
