If both us and the Titans win every game who goes to the play-offs? One between Denver and the Raiders will lose one more. Also the Bengals now have 5 losses which means if we win out we're in in front of them [WRONG]... so it's us vs the Titans (assuming we win out). Do we need them to lose one more or is the Jets destiny entirely in our hands? We're 5-5 in the conference (KC, MIA), 3-2 in the division. They're 5-4 in the conference (IND, JAC, HOU), 1-2 in the division. I think they'd have a better conference record and thus go to the POs... not sure though. PS If this is indeed the case we better become New Orleans fans next week! And also go Texans!
yes they would hold tiebreakers over us. we can have full control after next week if the titans lose and GB blows Oakland away.
If the Titans beat the Saints next week, I might freak out. I see the Titans losing to the Saints and Texans. They will go 9-7. Hopefully.
I think you're wrong about the Bengals tiebreaker though. If we both win out they have tiebreaker because of a better conference record I believe. That being said, they'll probably lose to Texans, Ravens, or both.
what should worry people is that CJ2k is back. the fact is that he is back and can keep the ball out of Brees hands is not good for us.
Nope 'cause whoever finishes 11-5 in the AFC North (Assuming someone does) finishes 3rd. We'd finish 2nd and that's the first tie-braker... [WRONG]
Don't know about the Texans... wiht Yates + Johnson injuring his other hammy I'm not sure they have what it takes to beat the Titans. Poor Andre Johnson... first year his team might go to the play-offs and he gets hurt so much.
Really!? Isn't that what appened when we went to the play-offs the year we finished 9-7? Rules -> http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures Oh wait... is it because that year it was a 3-way tie for the last WC spot?
