...though I do understand the point you are trying to make, it is just not accurate.
Mathematically you ARE correct, but in reality you are incorrect.
In reality if you are the 9ers OR Rams you play each other twice, however SF gets to play 2 other 4th place teams where as the rams must play two other first place teams.
THAT is the advantage if you will, of finishing 4th.
The 2 "uncommon" opponents for each team are; Rams vs 2 FIRST PLACE TEAMS, SF vs 2 LAST PLACE TEAMS.

Your last words to me: "Your a great guy RFIP. I was very sad when you left the board, and your son, but was glad to see you back. Take care my friend, may God be by your side." 09/09/2017 12:58AM
No Nelson, you were a far better man than I, and I am sure an awesome husband and father as well. I will miss you my friend. -RFIP
