    So the Chargers are playing their game at some time tomorrow and the league will be advanced. Here are the fixtures:

    Redkins (SwankyTortoise) @ Panthers (CPU)
    Saints (CPU) @ Buccaneers (ibm1984)
    Broncos (CPU) @ Chiefs (Darbey)
    Raiders (asmosis7) @ Chargers (specsy)
    Lions (Eamonn87) @ Packers (Ben SFC)
    Dolphins (CPU) @ Titans (Kaiche)
    Steelers (CPU) @ Bengals (BigBadRob83)
    Ravens (CPU) @ Browns (CPU)
    Texans (Pudsy33) @ Jaguars (CPU)
    49ers (adro76) @ Rams (ali g no1)
    Patriots (CPU) @ Colts (CPU)
    Giants (etloveslsd) @ Falcons (Notyalc666)
    Vikings (CPU) @ Bears (p4ddy31)
    Cowboys (CPU) @ Eagles (CPU)
    Bills (DangerDavo85) @ Jets (Berty44)
    Cardinals (CPU) @ Seahawks (QKitten83)

    Key games as usual in bold. 3 divisonal rivalries await us.

    The first is the Raiders against the Chargers: Though the fans at these games have been known to be rowdy and I have heard people don't like taking their kids to Raiders-Chargers, there doesn't seem to be the same animosity between the 2 actual teams. Nevertheless there have been quite a few big games historically between these 2 teams, one being the famous "holy roller" game in which Ken Stabler famously deliberately fumbled the ball forward to prevent the game ending, an the Raiders picked it up and scored. The Raiders again got the better of the Chargers in the 1980 AFC championship game and have been the Chargers bogey team in recent years, however the Chargers won the last meeting in the NFL, which was sweet as it kept Oakland out of the playoffs. In the BFL, I have been a bit of a bogey for the Chargers since that famous 4th quarter disconnect. They never seem to bring it against us and I hope to go to 4-0 before we likely split up into different divisions next year. There's really not much at stake, but it's a rivalry.

    The second one is the big one. The biggest game of the year so far. The Commish against the Commish. Lions-Packers. The Lions were upset by the Seahawks this week and the Packers are poised to pounce and retake the division lead from the Lions. The last meeting was an absolute classic. The Lions scored 14 points in 18 seconds to tie the game inside the 2 minute warning but Mason Crosby hit over a last second 26 yard field goal to win 37-34.

    The third one is Bills Jets: The Bills must be fed up with playing the Jets at this stage, having never won. Berty reckons the Bills will win this it seems. I'm more skeptical. Berty must remember he's playing for seeding here.

    I should follow the NFL rules:

    http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

    For Wild card , where 2 teams are from different divisions with the same record:

    Head-to-head, if applicable.
    Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
    Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
    Strength of victory.
    Strength of schedule

    etc.

    I tried to rejoin the league on the EA website but it's on private? Do I need an invite? I only have a couple of hours to play before I have to head out again so hopefully someone can reply quick!

    See you Tuesday night so Dave. Think you will be in playoffs so it might not be the last we see of each other in this franchise. ( We also have a week 9 in the Pro )

    I'm assuming nothing. I said it "should" work like that. And from what I have seen Madden 12 has it more or less correct.

    Not to say it will work all the way down the list to coin toss but I think it will select the right players for wildcards.
