How the line and tiebreakers work

NFL ties start with head-to-head where applicable, then division or conference records, common games and strength-based procedures. Multi-club and division-winner rules can change the order around this simple conference line.

Cutline and guarantee math uses the current SportsDB table plus scheduled games remaining. Equal records still require the official tiebreaker; provider schedule gaps can change the estimate.
