Week 10 Playoff Positions (Only 7 to Go)

[Upnorth]

I think it's Conference record and then common opponents. They have beat Tampa, Lions and Giants so far
and have Rams yet. They will have tough games against Ravens and Steelers yet. That will show how good they might be.

Yooperfan, you have an awesome pics for your avatar!

Regarding strenght of schedule, by the end of the season the Packers will have had the far harder road to travel, no team left on our slate is more than 1 game below .500, SF has to still play most of the NFCW (or looserville).

The Packers are one win, one conference win ahead of the 49'ers. If the Packers lose a conference game the 49'ers take over #1 because their strength of victory is higher.

Go Cardinals!!!!!!!!

Thanks! I took the pic at The Return to Titletown celebration. It took awhile of
standing there to get the flag about right.

Will the 49's SOV be higher at the end of the year or is it to early to tell?

Their schedule is pretty easy, being in the NFCW. Packers would almost certainly have stronger SOV.

Is strength of victory the point differential or the opponent win percentage?

Opponent win percentage.

Add "49'ers in contention for home field advantage through playoffs" to the list of things you could've made money on in Vegas this fall...

[smuggler]

Strength of Victory is the win/loss record of teams you've played not counting the games in which you have played. Only an academic difference if both GB and SF have the same record.

Here's this.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Okay, right now, before the Thrusday Night game. The Packers SOV is .411 and the 49'ers SOV is .472.

However, the Strength of Schedule of unplayed games is .587 for the Packers and SOS of unplayed games for the Niners is .402.

Almost every game affects these comparisons. Don't get caught up in it until after the entire weekends games are played.

The 49'ers still have the Ravens on Thanksgiving and the Steelers in December. .667 and .700 respectively.

The Packers have the Lions .667 x 2 and Bears .667 and the Giants .667. But after the Packers beat them their Strength of Victory will drop.

If the 49'ers lose one to either the Steelers or Ravens the Packers would have to lose 2 of the above mentioned games to lose 1st overall.

One good thing about the 49ers nipping at our heels is it will keep the guys focused on the goal of home field advantage and will not let them take any team lightly.

[CaliforniaCheez]

The Broncos beating the Jets just raised the Packers SOV to .417 from .411.

It's a good thing God is on Tebow's side.

The only thing that can stop this thread from taking over the world is the preseason. We can't do any of these calculations during the preseason/offseason.

Can we?
