    Steelers are 7-7 which means they need to win out to get to 9-7. They will have to beat the bengals, and the browns. I don't think you have them winning both in that scenario. Pitt gets the nod in this case, assuming I did it correctly.

    if the steelers win out and go 9-7

    and the bengals lose to pit and beat baltimore to go 9-7

    the jets are in(assuming we win out).

    in fact, there is no scenario i could generate where us, pit, and cincy are all 9-7 and we dont get in

    You're wrong on this.

    If the Steelers win out to go 9-7 they will be 2-0 vs the Bengals, eliminating them from wildcard contention. The first step in a one-on-one tiebreaker is head to head and the Bengals will be eliminated by the Steelers in that step. Then the Steelers will eliminate the Jets, again by head-to-head.

    I'm curious what your criteria for putting the Jets in is. Remember that if two teams are tied for the wildcard in a division that tie is resolved before any other potential ties are looked at. The Jets, Steelers and Bengals will never get to a three-way tiebreak in any situation - the rules just don't allow it.

    Giants-Ravens literally does not play into the Jets playoff chances at all. The Ravens have all the tie breakers locked up already. They've clinched at least a wildcard spot.

    ok your kinda wrong. If the ravens beat the Giants they will win division and rest week 17 against the Bengals.

    You honestly think the ravens backups can beat Bengals? I dont, id rather have them play for the division week 17. A giants win is a must, if giants lose its over for us and for them to.

    They have nothing to play for if they beat the Giants next week, in week 17. They will need to fight for the division in week 17, if they lose. They need to lose.

    I'm returning from hiatus to clear this up for you: we need to win out of course, the winner of Cincinnati-Pittsburgh needs to lose Week 17, it's that simple.

    The Ravens and Colts are irrelevant. I'm conceding the Colts one wild Card, if they manage to lose their last two games then that's another spot in play but we don't necessarily need it.

    No i think he thinks the ravens backups can beat the bengals.

    I dont like the chances of that happening.

    exactly the way I'm looking at it. All starts tonight.........although I still feel that this team has no business even sniffing the playoffs, and will probably prove it tonight with a loss.

    Keep seeing all these different scenarios. To simplify it, these are the 3 diff ways we can get in:

    1) Win out AND Bengals beat Steelers AND Ravens beat Bengals
    2) Win out AND Steelers beat Bengals AND Browns beat Steelers
    3) Win out AND Colts lose out

    If steelers win out, they are in. We would need colts to lose out.

    If Steelers split they are out.

    The Jets need a loss from Pitt, and the Bengals to get in. Or an unlikely lose out from Indy.

    All assume Jets win out.

    You'd go broke if you bet like that. How about Detroit in Arizona on Sunday?

    Indy just isn't that good a road team.

    but its not a one-on-one tiebreaker, because the jets would also be 9-7. and you dont "settle the division" first because the steelers/ravens would have already lost the division to the ravens.

    the post, record, and espn as well as that simulator all have the jets in, for any case where the steelers, bengals, jets are all 9-7

    yup, if anything, we want the ravens to win, as we;d be eliminated for sure if they somehow lost the division and got a WC spot
