If the following happen NE could be tied for the top spot in the division and holding a strong grasp on a wild card or division shot or even stay mathmatically alive in the race for the #2 seed

IF ...

Kansas City at home beats Buffalo (could happen since KC rarily loses back to back in a
row at home and Buffalo is in a slump)

New England beats Miami (The key to a best case scenerio starts with NE themselves taking care of business,The Dolphins have not swept the Pats since Marino was QB)

Tennessee beats the Jets (certainly the Titans are favored to keep the unbeaten season going and only will a solid day from Favre keep the Jets from losing)

Philadelphia beats Baltimore (From his brainless statement about ties in the NFL to his poor play on the field only a sudden resurgence of McNabb will give a shot for Philly to grab a win in Baltimore - I think they will upset the Ravens and quiet McNabbs tormentors for at least another week)

San Diego beats Indianapolis - (Once again the Chargers are hanging by a thread in the playoff race and usually they play well when their backs are against the wall,Indy is hanging on for a wild card berth but they can lose and still remain alive in the playoff hunt,SD cannot and therefore should win)

I really think of all these games in best case scenerio, NE beating Miami,SD beating Indy and Tennessee beating the Jets are the most likely to happen

I think buffalo beats KC, I'm 50-50 on us beating Miami, I think Tennessee TCB's, Philly beats Baltimore, but I think the Colts stomp SD

Actually, the fish swept us in 2000, the beginning of the Jay Fiedler...feilder...fieldler?....whatever...
Anyway, they swept us in 2000.

Thanks for that run-down. It makes it easier to know who to root for. Seriously.

It's nice to know who to root for but at this point I still think some teams are going to stumble that look strong and some teams that look to be lagging are going to surge.

I think the Patriots are in that latter category.

I pray (figuratively) that you're right. The Pats have been playing well enough to win, that's for sure. Hopefully they straighten out those 2 to 3 key plays per game and turn the should've-wons into wons.

lets make this simple:

if the Patriots win all of their 6 remaining games, they will probably get a #2 seed and the bye

if the Patriots win 5 out of 6, they will probably win the AFC East but no bye

If the Patriots win 4 out of 6, they will probably get the 6 seed

If the Patriots go .500 or less, forget about it.

Basically, I'm not worried about any game other than the 6 in front of the NEP.

the best shot we have is to win our own games

Yes, all our dreams disappear if we don't get the W.

That said, is getting a W enough to put us on sure route to playoffs? Don't think so and that is where it is interesting to see how the performance of other teams has an impact on our road to the playoffs.

got spoilt and used to wrapping up the division early for the last few years.

I am buckling down down and hoping for a good W this Sunday that sets the tprecendent Ws for the rest of the season!

GO PATS!!
