80 games played so far this season. Clubs are ordered by won-lost-tied percentage over all games, then division record, then conference record. Beyond that ties are NOT broken here, because breaking one takes the league's published procedure and its last steps need points scored and points allowed — open a conference predictor to see the part of it that follows from a pick sheet. A tie in the standings is a tie on this page.

What decides a division
The best won-lost-tied percentage over all games wins the
division, and the winner is seeded ahead of every wild card in the
conference whatever the records say. Clubs level on percentage are separated by
head-to-head, then division record, then common games, then conference
record, then strength of victory — the full list, including the steps that
need scores, is printed on the predictor pages. Where the
seeding stands today is the playoff picture.
