Controlling their seeding destiny
 
The Pats have control of their seeding destiny up to 2nd seed.

I incorrectly posted over on KFFL that this was true BECAUSE SD lost. Actually, it's been true all along. At this point, if the Pats hypothetically run the table, the only team that could be seeded ahead of them would be Denver. (Had SD not lost, "Denver" would have to be replaced in that sentence by "the AFC West champion".)

Third place in the conference; control of their destiny up to second seed -- I'll take that gladly at this point in the season.

i thought were 3rd..

1. Colts - undefeated
2. Broncos - beat us

we can get in 1st by beating Colts and hoping Denver loses more than us right?

Still way too early to tell.

The Pats could lose to the Colts and still get the #1 seed, provided they finish with a better record than any other AFC team (obviously).

Denver or Indy????
 
My question is..who should Patriot fans be cheering for next week...Denver or Indy?? Why?? Just without studying it..I would think Indy..beationg Denver, giving them a loss more..BUT? I am not sure at all.. Could both teams beat up on each other?? I think everyone hopes for that...

I dislike the Colts so bad, I'm rooting for the Broncos no matter what's at stake - top seed, 2nd seed, whatever. I fear the whole "Manning's God and the Colts are unbeatable" media mob scene is about to rear it's ugly head...... once again.....:(

I honestly think Denver will give the Colts their first loss especially at Mile High. Denver's rushing offense ranks in the top 5 and they should be able to run up and down the field. As to who to cheer for? To hell with both of them, let them just beat the living daylights out of each other.

His point was the Pats control there destiny up to the second seed.

If the Pats run the table, that would mean they beat Indy, hence they would win the tie braker and be seeded ahead of Indy!

Hard to figure. The Colts have had the Broncos number the same way the Broncos have had our number and the Pat have the Cots number.

My gut tells me the Colts win this game.

I'm reluctantly pulling for the Colts because we could be on top of the AFC after our game November 5th, with only a couple of toughies in Chicago and the Jags.

The Jags lost to the Texans today.
