Legacy NFL GM's,
And then there were 12! These are your 2016 Legacy NFL Playoff seedings. Good luck to everyone in the playoffs!
AFC Conference
Number 1 Seed: San Diego Chargers 11-1 (Bye and home field advantage throughout)
Number 2 Seed: Miami Dolphins 9-3 (Get a 1st round bye in playoffs, Better conference record over Steelers 8-2 vs 7-3)
Number 3 Seed: Pittsburgh Steelers 9-3
Number 4 Seed: Jacksonville Jaguars 8-4
Wild Card 1: Baltimore Ravens 8-4
Wild Card 2: Cleveland Browns 7-4 (By conference record over Texans 6-4 vs 5-5)
NFC Conference
Number 1 Seed: Los Angeles Rams 10-1 (Get first round bye and home field throughout, Via PPG Won by tie breaker over the Cardinals by 104.26 points)
Number 2 Seed: Washington Redskins 8-4 (Get 1st round bye, Via conference record over the Falcons 7-3 vs 6-4)
Number 3 Seed: Atlanta Falcons 8-4
Number 4 Seed: Detroit Lions 7-5 (Over the Bears via head to head tie breaker)
Wild Card 1: Arizona Cardinals 11-1
Wild Card 2: Chicago Bears 7-5 (Over the Panthers and Vikings via conference record, over the Cowboys via PPG Won By tie breaker by 133.95 points)
I figured these playoff seeding manually, any disputes must be presented ASAP.
Reminder: We are following the NFL rules in regards to seedings, and the lowest ranked winning team in the Wild Card bracket will be matched up with the number 1 seed in the divisional playoffs, while the higher rated winner of the Wild Card round will play the the number 2 seed in the conference.
Here's a better explanation: "The NFL does not run a "true" bracket, like you you see here on the March Madness Bracket or on the NBA Playoff Bracket. I define a "true" bracket as a tournament where the winner of each game moves directly over in the bracket. The NFL Playoff bracket rearranges the bracket in the second round so that the highest seed(1) in each conference plays the lowest remaining seed in the same conference. The rearranging only takes place if the 6 seed upsets the 3 seed in the wild card round. When this happens the 6 seed moves up to play the 1 seed and the winner of the 4 seed vs 5 seed game will move down to play the 2 seed. Otherwise the bracket plays out true. Here is an example of an NFL Playoff Bracket where the second round shuffle was done."
