does anybody know this answer? about nfl playoffs!

after pitt lost in week #9 to cinn. which after that win of cinn, it made the stats that cinn. beat pitt. both games this year and also cinn. beat balt. twice too this year. And cinn. beat clev.once and play one more time in week #15 maybe.
SO MY POINT IS: AFTER week #9 cinncy became 5-0 in thier division,so going into week #10 why doesnt the paper standings or even when shown on espn, they also dont have a little * next to cinn name that they clinched and won thier division and they are garunteed in the playoffs?  is this true??? even if cinncy losses the rest of thier regular season games they are still in no matter what even lossing all the games left in regular season from week # 10 and on to end of regular season.Pitt. has no chanch to win division just wildcard only?? is this true? how do they figure it out? so in the nfl all a team has to worry about is just to win all 6 of your division games, and the team could lose the rest of the games going 6-11 and they garunteed to win thier division and be in the playoffs automatically?   is this crap true?   how does the nfl handle this case? plese someone answer me with the true answer. tony

wagerline should do this new contest for the superbowl

wagerline should have a contest for the nfl superbowl where there are about 40 to 60 questions for example 1.) coin toss:head or tails? another example:2.) will the first score of the game be :run td-pass td-fieldgoal-any other td?  another example: what QB of his team will throw the first TD?    questions like that and give out prizes say maybe  1st. through 7th. if wagerline has aproblem with coming up with prize mone they can use what they use for other contest shirts , hats , coats, or if not maybe there is a 5 dollar fee for one persons entry. well tell me what you think,  thanks tony (pigsposse)
