MERGE: Playoff Reassess -- Help me out here.

For the jets to get in at 9-7 Jax must lose next week, and the loser of the Bengals-Broncos game must lose next week also OR if the broncos are the losers and win next week, but KC wins too, Jets are in over both of them due to divisional tiebreaker between KC and Den to knock Den out, then Jets have better AFC record than KC.

Root for the Bengals to win, better odds.

 

I think my brain just melted.

 

Now i REALLY wanna play the Colts, by FAR the worst division winner

 

Go Broncos!

 

It's actually better to root for Cincy here.

 

3 of the 4 must happen to get it at 9-7

1) Jax loses to KC (Root for Herm!)
2) Buf loses to BAL (Good shot)
3) CIN loses out
Now it's tough.
4) EITHER DEN loses one game and KC wins next week OR Den loses twice

So the outcome of this CIN/DEN game will put this into a much more clear picture. But with JAX and BUF losing this week, things are going well so far.

 

Forget 9-7 guys, think positive 10-6, 10-6, both are winnable games.....:up:

:finssuck:

 

Cincy is looking good, IF Cincy wins here is how we get in.
1. Win 2 and we're in
2. Win 1, and have jax lose next week
THAT'S IT!

Because that would lift KC to 9-7, knocking out Den even if they win. And jets win tiebreaker over Tenn via head to head.

 

Definitely, I'm confident the jets will go 10-6 and take care of business. BUT, just in case, their are still very realistic ways for the jets to get in if they blow 1 game.

 

Why is it better for Denver to lose?

 

If that happens, Tenn and Jax would have their divisional tiebreaker take place first, eliminating jax due to Div record. Jets then win head to head over Tenn. So Jets would win in the even of that 3 way tie.

 

Because then for the jets to get in at 9-7, the ONLY thing that would need to happen next week is a jax loss.

 

Jacksonville at Kansas City

Could be possible.... This is a pain in the ass.

 

Quick question for my clarification: after the Jags loss today, we NOW control our own destiny by winning out, right? Before their loss, we wouldn't have gotten in if us, the Jags, Broncos/Bengals won out?

I know it's pointless now, but I wanted to make sure.

 

We win 2 games and we're in. That simple.

 

Because they won't lose at home to SF.

Cincinnati could very well lose to Pittsburgh.

 

If Denver wins and we win out , which I fully expect, we have a better chance of getting the Colts from the #6 spot.
The way the Colts and the Pats are playing I would rather face the Colts.
