    86WARD -

    With the Ravens and Steelers schedules...one of those teams could be this season's Browns. 10-6 and miss the playoffs.

    I could definitely see the same happening in the NFC this year the way the south and east are going.

    Panthers and Giants are the only 'safe' teams in the NFC

    Titans are the only 'safe' team in the AFC

    Cardinals have to be in there too. They already have something like a 3 game lead on the rest of the division.

    Mr. D WINNING!!

    even though you can't really count on this happening

    The Bengals/Chiefs/and even the Lions are not officially out of the race

    by some freak happening lol, Bengals or Chiefs win the rest of there games going 8-8

    and most of those teams lose most if not all the rest of there games like the ravens and patriots, they go 6-10 bengals end up above the ravens at 8-8 or chiefs

    they make it into the playoffs

    again big if lol

    huge if

    anyways the lions may be officially out this week though

    broncos 5-4 wont go far in playoffs
    chargers 4-5 need to get LT healthy for a shot
    raiders 2-7 have to win all div games

    Inclulbus WE ARE! .. Marshall!

    i say nfc east has both wildcard spots again. just my opinion.

    dude no one cares about math, this goes for u 2 mr. d, need a miracle = out. even if raiders win all division games they won't make it b/c broncos and chargers would have to lose a lot and raiders have to win no way they get wildcard spot and they will not win that division.

    ward ravens and steelers could both be 10-6 or better but both will make it if that happens b/c who is gonna stop them, 6-4 patriots, 5-4 colts, 5-4 bills, 5-4 dolphins...etc....not gonna happen. maybe in nfc though. i say only 1 from the north, prolly bears, vikes and pack just can't win enough consistently or keep up, at least 2 from south at least 2 from east, cards in west. prolly giants and panthers and bucs and 6th spot goes to skins/falcons imo. afc ravens and steelers both make it jets win east broncos outlast chargers titans obviously and #6 goes to pats/colts imo.

    note: NFC North tiebreaker goes to the Packers because they and the Bears have a division record of 3-1 while the Vikings have a division record of 2-2. The Packers beat the Bears, so their the division leaders. Same goes for AFC wildcard spots and AFC #2 spot. It's all about division records and tiebreakers. Go to NFL.com/standings for more.
     
  17. 86WARD

    86WARD -

    Colts, Titans, Jets, Broncos, Patriots, AFC North Winner. Second place in AFC North is out. Done.

    Ravens don't make the playoffs over the Colts if the records are tied. Colts have the head-to-head tie breaker. The Ravens would be out and the Colts would be in. However, if the Bills don't tie with the Ravens and the Dolphins do, the Ravens have the tie-breaker over Miami. The Chargers could knock both the Dolphins and the Ravens out.

    Mr. D WINNING!!

    wrong

    Bengals can go 7-8-1
    Ravens can go 6-10

    that would leave the Bengals ahead of the Ravens so

    guess that means the Bengals are not out yet

    you do know we have only two wild card spots in the playoffs right?
     
  19. 86WARD

    86WARD -

    4 Division Winners and 2 Wild Cards...

    yah that's why I said miss playoffs

    and mr. d i said nobody cares about math for a reason. because everybody knows that's just not happening so wake up.

    my bad. forgot head-to-head tiebreaker trumps division winner. btw chargers are 4-6 fins and ravens are 6-4 wtf? don't care about bills (until tomorrow night lol). What makes you so freaking sure the pats and colts get in?

    Let's see:

    Ravens 6-4 - lost to Colts, beat Dolphins
    Dolphins 6-4 - beat Patriots, lost to Ravens
    Colts 6-4 - beat Ravens, beat Patriots
    Patriots 6-4 - lost to Dolphins, lost to Colts

    So Ravens ahead of Dolphins, behind Colts.

    1. Colts
    2. Ravens
    3. Dolphins

    Dolphins ahead of Patriots, behind Ravens.

    1. Colts
    2. Ravens
    3. Dolphins
    4. Patriots

    Colts ahead of Ravens and Patriots.

    1. Colts
    2. Ravens
    3. Dolphins
    4. Patriots

    And finally, Patriots behind Dolphins and Colts.

    1. Colts
    2. Ravens
    3. Dolphins
    4. Patriots

    It all fits. As it stands right now in the AFC:

    1. Titans
    2. Steelers
    3. Jets
    4. Broncos
    5. Colts
    6. Ravens
