where do you see that?

There are only 2 uncommon games between teams in the same division.

So it comes down to the Saints having played Dallas and Chicago vs Carolina having played the Giants and Minnesota. Dallas and Chicago are an 11-6 combined record, whereas the Giants and Vikings are 6-11. Going to be really tough for Carolina's uncommon opponents to catch up 5 games. That's why we should actually pull for Dallas to beat the Giants this weekend.

Team-by-team strength of schedule for 2013 - NFL.com

What is gray for me and I am looking for clarification is whether they use the initial SoS or look at it at the time of the decision.

According to Wiki it is for that season, so I was premature in my assumption.
Strength of schedule (the combined won-lost-tied percentage of all the teams that a club has played against).
