Looking at the remaining schedule it certainly appears that we could see the team face all 4 remaining teams that may very well have nothing to play for
The only team that may HAVE to win is Arizona and maybe Buffalo but as it looks right now its
Seattle - Nothing to play for except pride and spoiler and Deion's desire to show off against his old team
Oakland - Nothing to play for except pride and a spoiler
Arizona - Most likely team to have meaning to win but there is a decent chance that they will have sewn up the 3rd seed by then with nothing to gain and may rest some players against the Pats (The winner of this weeks Carolina/Tampa Bay game should be in charge of the 2nd seed by then)
Buffalo - Would have reason to win only if they win the remaining 4 games and cling to a 6th seed possibility,otherwise any loss before their last game and they play for pride and spoiler - even if they win the next 3 games they could still be mathmatically eliminated by then.
For New England to be the only team on the field with any reason to have real meaning to win their 4 games is a distinct possibility and although teams with no chance for the playoffs or to move up as a seeded team will not just simply let NE walk over them,Still its a decisive edge to have reason and desire to win over playing with nothing at stake and will increase NEs chances of running the table.
