As Playoff Week 1 appears right now:

Pitt @ Den (Heavily favored Pitt)
Tenn @ Hou (Heavily Favored Hou)

Shapes up nicely for the Patriots:
Hou @ NE (Hou is a struggling team with an inexperienced QB)
Pitt @ Balt

I believe Pitt @ Balt is ideal in terms of an equally tough game for both. They beat the hell out of each other and then the winner has to come to NE (assuming we can beat Hou).

**** Obviously this is pending the outcome of the second half of several games*****

Tenn won today, no?

And Houston would be heavily favored?

PATSYLICIOUS

We have no chance of playing Houston in round 2. IF Houston wins next week they will play @ Balt/Pitt for sure.

Mark.

With your scenario, Patriots would get the #5 seeded Pittsburgh not the #3 seeded Houston. If Houston loses, we get the #6 seed. Right?

TheBostonStraggler

I guess we will have to see what the line is until this disagreement is settled. However, Hou had nothing whatsoever to play for. I would be surprised if the tale of the tape showed starters playing the whole game (didn't watch the game).

If Pitt and Houston win, it would be
Pitt (5) at NE (1)
Hou (3) at Bmore (2)

Not the other way around.

Titans aren't getting in unless Raiders and Broncos both win, which is looking unlikely. Will be Houston/Bengals

AndyJohnson

We will play the 6 if they win or the 4/5 winner if the 6 loses. We cannot play the 3 until the AFCC game under any circumstances.

Urrgghhh! Thanks for straightening out my error. You are correct (way too much NYE cheer last night). Bummer. I guess go Tenn! :-)

so we want OAK to win the West, to be tougher out for steelers

and we want the #6 seed to beat houston, so we face them instead
