What are the tie breakers for division champ if teams are tied with the best record? I know the 1st is head-to-head but i'm not sure what comes after that and nfl.com is of no help grrrr (i hate the navigation on that site)

I 'think' it is:

1st W-L record (duh)
2nd Head-to-Head
3rd Divisional Record
4th Conference Record
5th Common Games Record

And from then on I don't know

ok this is what i think it is too

HOWEVER...

Code:

  AC East               W   L   T   Pct   PF    PA    Conf    Div  
New Jersey              12  4   0   .750  444   310   8-4     4-2       
Buffalo                 12  4   0   .750  380   318   9-3     4-2       
New England             5   11  0   .313  283   368   4-8     2-4       
Miami                   4   12  0   .250  314   361   3-9     2-4

I split the season series with the Jets (I'm the Bills) but I didn't win the division

Points for and points against matters too -- not sure where it fits in though.

The next tiebreaker is record in "common games", not conference record. So, that's why you're second.
