■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

I'm sure I missed a few clinching scenarios but NOBODY should rely solely on my own clinching scenarios.

For the Wildcard when you have multiple teams battling for postseason spots you have to eliminate division teams tied first before moving on to the next tiebreaker. I honestly don't know how close JDB follows the actual tiebreaker rules so I can't 100% guarantee anything. Plus sometimes I'm a complete moron.

We could have 5 teams finish 10-6 for the final 3 playoff spots and KC holds 1 of them already because they eliminate Indiana in the division tiebreaker. That's why the KC game is so important. If KC wins they finish 11-5 which moves Indiana up to the top 10-6 team but if KC loses and falls to 10-6 then Indiana loses the division tiebreaker to KC based on common games.

The same goes for Orlando in the South because even if Dakota loses and they win they can't jump Dakota based on division record. So if all 5 teams end up 10-6, it would appear KC, Houston & Dakota would clinch but maybe not since once you give the #5 seed to someone does JDB start the whole tiebreaker scenario over or not?

7. Brooklyn 9-6 (5-6)

If they lose they need both Tampa Bay and Montana to lose to clinch the postseason.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
8. Montana 8-7 (7-5)

They host Daytona (13-2) in week 16 and can clinch the postseason with a win and either a Brooklyn or Atlanta lose.

If they win plus Atlanta wins then they need Brooklyn to lose to clinch the postseason.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
8. Tampa Bay 8-7 (6-5)

They travel to Carolina (3-12) in week 16 and if they win they clinch the postseason if either Montana or Brooklyn lose.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The NXC is a little more clear cut then the AXC but Tampa Bay & Montana are very much alive for the postseason despite having the "e" by their team.

If fact, Montana has beaten Tampa Bay & Atlanta and has a better Conference record then Brooklyn and all 4 teams could end up 9-7 with 2 postseasons spots left.

If Tampa Bay wins and Atlanta loses they should jump over Atlanta in the division based on common games.

Again, this is done for fun and not 100% guaranteed so if something I said would happen doesn't happen....it's either I'm a moron or JDB has weird playoff tiebreaker which I don't understand.
