Scenarios:

Chiefs lose to Chargers but win the other two. Tiebreak for the division title goes to Chiefs. Split on head-to-head. Chiefs have better won-loss in Division. Chargers get the fifth spot.

Pittsburgh loses to NE and NO. Wins Cincy. Finishes 8-7-1.
Baltimore loses one and finishes 9-7. Baltimore wins the division for the fourth spot.

For the sixth spot, Miami with the easiest remaining schedule (Minn, Jax, Buffalo) wins out finishes 10-6. Indy has the tiebreak over the Phins and has a win over Tenn with their second game at the end of the season. If Indy wins out finishing 10-6, they get the sixth spot over Miami, Tenn and Pitts.

Full stop.


Yes.

aside from the Jets, Bills, and Oakland at the bottom.., and KC, LAC, and to an extent the Pats at the top, there's so much parity in the AFC. Browns could definitely take the North next year with a couple tweaks and the right coach.

In the race for the worst records and highest draft pick, three teams are 3-10 since SF and Oak won last week. (Arizona is the other)

Four teams (Atl, NYJ, Buff, Jax) have 4-9 records.

It's going to be interesting over the next three weeks. Need to win out!
Dallas - who shut down NO and on a 5 game winning streak
NYG - who just beat the Bears and @Wash, and can do us a favor this week vs TN
@TN - this feels like a set up for heart break if we can win the next two weeks....

Definitely need to win out. Dallas will be tough, but it looks like Martin may be out for this game, which helps the Colts pass rush which has been stellar the last few weeks.

Giants built their win streak against backup QB's, but those late season wins should get the attention of the Colts.

Titans are hot/cold. Hard to tell which team shows up, but the Colts tend to play well on the road. One could argue they play better on the road.

Whether Pittsburgh makes the playoffs or not, I'm hoping Mike Tomlin gets fired when the season ends. We've seen this team at its peak under Tomlin and they have missed multiple opportunities for more rings the last 5 years or so. But to just talk about this year, the defense is filled with a whole bunch of players with a low football IQ, a secondary that literally has zero ball skills, and almost all of them lack the ability to create splash plays.

I see coaches like McVay and Nagy and just get so jealous. It must be nice to have a young, proactive HC with a play card in his hand; meanwhile, Pittsburgh just has a guy with a headset on that will occasionally call timeouts and/or challenge a play at the right time.

I look at this Bears team and can't help but think of the 2008 Steelers team that had defensive playmakers everywhere: Harrison, Woodley, Hampton, Polamalu, Clark, etc.. The Bears are going to be good for a while if they can keep that defensive unit together.

But the straw that broke the camel's back was this past Sunday when Tomlin kept Ben on the sideline (he had been looked out for a rub injury, but was good to go back in) because Josh Hobbs and the offense had a good rhythm going. Good rhythm!? He led the offense to zero points and I don't think he got the team passed midfield!!

So, yeah, I want a new HC and probably a new GM because he sucks ass at evaluating defensive players.

At least your guy knows how to use his headset.

Marvin Lewis took over the Bengals defense three weeks ago after he fired his DC, and realized after the first defensive series that he wasn't pushing the right button to turn his audio on and send a play in.

It's a fucking clown show, and Mike Brown probably doesn't even know.

Don’t get it twisted. Cleveland is still the laughing stock of the NFL.

Seeing how they're raised by fair weather peps it's prob a good bet your children will be Browns fans.... anyway:

Browns/Broncos is a pretty good game.
whatever the outcome is, Baker is again showing how legit he is.

I am absolutely sick of the Indy market blacking out every Bears game when the Colts are playing. Its annoying AF.

Anyhoo, got my laptop connected to TV with HDMI. Internet friends, what do I do now to watch the game (sites, etc).

The Reddit streams can be iffy and sometimes cut out just before the game, but come back on around kickoff. Keep trying them until you find one that works well. It's there. Just takes a little time & trouble to find the right one.

Yes, I am tired of Tomlin. I have been for awhile.

Watching on my phone. Loaded right up. The laptop I was using is like 3 years of updates behind, so it was getting crushed.

Colts spanking the Cowboys. Luck is getting better every game. Defense is playing great again.

I can't wait to watch Skip tomorrow.
Can't believe they are blanking the Cowboys. Awesome stuff.

Need the Bucs to come back.

A Pitt loss to the Pats puts the Colts over the line for a Wild Card, right?

Second time in a few weeks I've cheered for the Pats (I just threw up in my mouth).

I think a Pitt loss would still leave them okay. It’s the Ravens that need to lose to help us.

If Pitt would've lost, Baltimore would've passed Pitt for the Division lead. We would've passed Pitt and would've been in possession of the last wildcard spot.

Colts need to win out and need either Baltimore or Pitt to lose.

A Pitt loss would have put the Ravens into the lead in the North at 8-6, and we'd be 8-6 vs Pitt 7-6-1, giving us the first WC spot. TN would be the last WC. Pitt would have been totally out (for now)

I hate the Pats. Even when I need them to win (last week vs Balt, and this week vs Pitt), they still screw the Colts...

Our shots are... (if we win out)

Ravens @Chargers, and Pitt @Saints next weekend. I like our chances. If neither lose next week, we'll be hoping for a home loss for Pitt vs Cinci, or a home loss for Balt vs the Browns.

NE has two home games vs Bills and Jets. That's (two NE losses) not gonna happen for us.
Houston is plausible but I don't see it (2 losses) either @Phil and home vs Jags.

If Pitt and Balt both lose, and Indy and Tenn win, the sixth spot comes down to the winner of the Titans v Colts.
