"Jets (+1) over DOLPHINS
While we're passing out congrats, kudos to Ricky Williams for staging the worst comeback since Screech's porn video. Anyway, can you think of any situation in which an 0-11 team should be favored unless it's playing a team fighting a roster-wide case of mononucleosis or something? Is this the lowest moment in Jets history? They're getting points from an 0-11 team! That's almost worse than being an 0-11 team, isn't it?"

"I have to admit, I'm already looking ahead to the Steelers and Jets. What if the Pats left Chris Hanson inactive for the Jets game and played without a punter? Wouldn't that be the ultimate slap in the face? Know this going in, Mangini ... we're not punting. Can you think of a better psychological ploy? It's one thing to go 19-0; it's another thing to be the team that intentionally scratched their punter before a game for the first-ever Eff You Transaction. Now I know what I want for Christmas."

Dumping on the Jets; I can never get enough of that. But having Miami on pace for a possible 0-16 makes me a Jets fan. That aside, Jets by 4.

I read his article earlier and indeed the bolded points made me chuckle.

This game is going to be so ugly, Goodell would probably be best off by assigning an L to both teams

Not going to happen. As much as fans would love this "eff you" this directly is really not BB's style.

You know that the week leading up to the game BB will do the same as always profusely complement the Jets and talk about how he is concerned about the game. If the only thing you knew about football came from BB's interviews you would swear that the Pats play superbowl contenders every week at the Pats are a bunch of bungling JV players.

>>>>>The Colts landing the top wild-card spot and hosting the Browns for a wildly entertaining shootout in the first round, then heading to Foxborough, Mass., for another war against the still-undefeated Patriots (if they're still undefeated). Colts-Browns and Colts-Pats in back-to-back weeks???? Come on, Jags!!!!<<<<

If the Colts were the top wild card (#5) wouldn't they play the #4 seed- lowest division champ ( read AFC West- SD/Den/KC) in the first round while the #6 seed plays the #3????

MetalBleachers

As much as I hate the Jets, they have to win, right? I mean, don't they have any pride left?

and I love the idea about keeping Hanson inactive. Good times.

None of the seeding has been set and none of the division championships (save one) have been awarded. His scenario is far-fetched, but if the Steelers lose three games, the Colts lose two, Browns win 4 of 5, and the Chargers and Jags win out, seeding would be as such:

1. Pats (16-0)
2. Jags (13-3)
3. Chargers (11-5, better conference record)
4. Browns (11-5)
5. Colts (12-4)
6. If all of that happens it could be damn near anyone here

WC Weekend:
Chargers beat whoever they play (this is probably the most unlikely aspect out of this whole wacky scenario)
Colts at Browns (Colts win)

Divisional round:

Chargers at Jags
Colts at Pats
