The #2 seed is a long shot but still possible. Indy has an atrocious defense, and can lose to Cinci and Miami, especially if Ronnie Brown is back by then. Baltimore, which only defeated Cleveland and Tennessee by 1 pt each earlier in the year, can lose at Pittsburgh and to a motivated Buffalo team. Stranger things have happened in this league...

The problem is the Ravens get Cleveland and Buffalo in Baltimore. I can't see them dropping either of those two games. Cleveland might play them tough as they did in the first game but I can't see them beating them. I think they drop the Pit game and finish 12-4. I think the Colts lose to Cincy and Miami and finish 11-5.
It would be a pleasant surprise to see the Colts and Ravens drop two each but I'm not holding my breath.

If we win out and go 12-4, I think in your scenario that we may win the tiebreakers with Baltimore. If they lose to Buffalo in that scenario, we would win the common opponents tie breaker since they would have lost to both Cincy (once) and Buffalo. They also lost to Denver which we beat and we would both have beaten Tennessee. If they beat Buffalo, that tiebreaker is not valid because you need at least four common opponents. The next tiebreaker is strength of victory which until this past weekend, we had the advantage.

Minor correction, Denver beat the Pats, again.

We can't win a tie breaker with Baltimore. They only have two AFC losses and we have 4. The only way we jump Baltimore is if they end up with 5 losses which is more than doubtfull. We lose all tie breakers against Indy, Baltimore and SD.

I would think a fan of a team that is sinking faster than the Titanic would have bigger worries than what the fans of a playoff bound team are discussing?

Yes we can. If we are tied at at the end of the season, the Ravens will have to lose two more games. All they have left are conference games. So we will both have four conference losses. If they don't lose two more games there is no tiebreaker situations. As long as Baltimore lose two more games and we win out and one of the Ravens' losses is to Buffalo, we have the tiebreaker on Baltimore because we both will have four conference losses and we will be 3-1 against common opponents (Cincy, Buffalo, Denver, and Tennessee) and they will be 2-3. We lost to Denver, they lost to Cincy (once) and Denver and would have lost to Buffalo.

If Baltimore loses two more games they will be 11-5. We would be 12-4 if we win out, thus there would be no tie.
