Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.

Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

Best net points in all games.
Best net touchdowns in all games.
Coin Toss.

Conference tiebreakers
Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2.

Then I am not understanding how GB got the wild card over St. Louis or my team with a conference record of 5-7 as that was worst then both of our records of 7-5. I would think St. Louis actually should have got that last playoff spot
