What makes Houston 1 la 2 pats 3?Depends on what game the chiefs loose: If they loose against Seattle, KC wins the AFC West and has the tiebreaker over Houston, so #1 Pats (if they win out), #2 KC, #3 Houston.
If the chiefs loose against oakland, LAC wins the AFC West and we have a threeway tie. In this case its going to be #1 Houston, #2 LAC, #3 Pats.
Why? What makes Houston 1 la 2 pats 3?
Don't head-to-head matchups come first to determine the seeding ? How does Houston get #1 seed based on win% in common games? May be I am missing something.I dont know. Thats what the ESPN Playoff machine says in this scenario:
So I guess New Englands win over Houston tie breaker doesnt count, as there was no game between Pats-Chargers and Texans-Chargers?
- 1st Seed - Houston
AFC South Champ
Wins tie break over Los Angeles based on strength of victory. Wins tie break over New England based on best win percentage in common games (minimum of four).- 2nd Seed - Los Angeles
AFC West Champ (Wins tie break over Kansas City based on best win percentage in common games.)
Wins tie break over New England based on best win percentage in common games.

I hope Tyreek Hill and his agent are working to find these fans and have them prosecuted to the full extent of the law:
Here's the thing. While we're so confident in our takes on what this Patriots team is we forget that there is another side to consider. The teams we face are also flawed and they can just as easily stumble in their secure environments. We just watched it for cripes sakes.
That's only half the picture. KH was deadly as a receiver too. If I'm not mistaken, they've passed more since his release.Oh I love that visual of curb stomping.
Isn’t there a statistic that the Chiefs are running the ball better after losing hunt?
Head-to-head matchups come first in the event of a tie. NFL Tiebreaking Procedures | NFL.com
I just cite what I am reading on the ESPN click bait machine
In your link there are tie breaker procedures "within a division" and "to break a tie for the wild card team". In the first, head-to-head comes first, but we are not talking about a division here, so this should not be applicable. In the second only head-to-head sweeps come first, thereafter games within the conference and so on. As there was no game between Pats and Chargers (so no sweep), I think its possible the ESPN machine is right.
Again: That **** is very confusing to me.
In a 3-or-more-way tie what matters is H2H sweep, i.e. did one team beat all the others or did one team lose to all the others. Individual H2H doesn't come into play in a 3-or-more tie.Don't head-to-head matchups come first to determine the seeding ? How does Houston get #1 seed based on win% in common games?

That's right. If theres a three team tie and they didn't all play each other it goes to what you stated.I just cite what I am reading on the ESPN click bait machine

Yeah, but the Pats have never won a playoff game in San Diego have they....
