Denver might be the easiest but we can't play them first. We'd have to play Pittsburgh or Cincy before that happens. Am I missing something here.. with the order?
Pats get the lowest remaining seed after WC weekend.
So, if Denver beats Pitt and Houston beats Cinci, then Denver (the 4 seed) comes to Foxboro and Houston (the 3 seed) goes to Baltimore.
The only team from WC weekend that the Pats cannot possibly face next week is Houston.
