Default What seed would you rather have?

The 3rd or the 4th seed? Personally, I am hoping for the 3 seed. That means its more likely that the Pats would face the Colts in the AFCCG.

My "DREAM" play-offs for the Pats would be:
Wild Card: San Diego/Denver (whichever of these two end up here)
Divisional: Denver/San Diego (whichever of these two end up here)
AFCCG: Colts
SB: Carolina (Rematch of SB 38)

That way the Pats can beat 4 of the 5 teams that beat them this year. Also, I think that this would be the toughest schedule in the play-offs for the Pats to go through.

I would say that the No.3 seeding is beyond us at this point - I really cant see the Bills going into Cincy and winning there.

Cincy would then have to lose their last game aswell in order for us to clinch No.3.

So, Ill happily take the 4th seed.

If Jax somehow manage to lose to either Houston or Tennessee I would slightly suspicious - its possible they would rather play in Cincy than New England.

This would also have the effect of knocking the Steelers out of contention on a 3-way tie scenario.

All In all i'll take

Wild Card - Jax
Divisional - Colts
Conference - Bengals

NM

I think a better scenario would be:

First Round:
Patriots(4th seed) beat Jaguars(5th seed) in Foxboro
Stealers(6th seed) beat Denver(third seed) in Denver

Second Round:
Patriots beat Bengals(2nd seed) in Cincinatti
Stealers beat Colts(1st seed) in Indianapolis

AFC Championship Game:
Patriots beat Stealers in Foxboro

Superbowl:
Patriots three-peat

I like this scenario the best.... I would much rather play the colts in the second round before they would get a chance to play a meaningful game. The last tough/meaningful game they will have played up to then would be the san diego game which they of course lost. I think they will come out rusty and as a not so wise man once said, "be ripe for the picking"

Sorry I had forgotten that if 6th seed beats the 3rd seed in the first round they play the 1st seed in the second round. I've corrected my original post.

This scenario I don't like as well becouse we don't get to pound on the Colts the second round, but no other scenario puts the AFCC in Foxboro.

You're close, only in that scenario the 6th seed if it wins in WC week faces the 1 seed Colts in round 2 while the 4th seed faces the 2nd seed (Cinci or Denver) on the road. Highest seeds face lowest remaining seeds. If the Squeelers could do their part though that does set up a potential AFCC with Pitts at the Razor. I don't have any revenge related issues regarding who knocks Peyton out of the playoffs, and if a 6th seeded Pittsburgh can do it it's the best case scenario for the TEAM since it results in potential AFCC at home in the Razor.

Doesn't make much difference to me, there's still a decent chance we'll have to play @ Indy and @ Denver in some order. And even if an upset means we only play one, they seem about equally tough to me.

With friends like you who needs enemies.

I'd rather see my team have the best shot at threepeating. That would be revenge enough for me (and for them I'm quite sure). And whether they are the 3 seed or 4, their best shot involves Jacksonville and Pittsburgh in some way shape or form.

i'd rather be # 4 and get Indy in the divisional round. they may be a bit rusty, pats may be a bit fresher having played one instead of two games and we would not have to show as much of ther "new" stuff to Indy.
