The likelihood of seed 2 depends on what you feel is the likelihood of the Pats winning out, and the likelihood of the Texans dropping another game (of their 3 remaining, by far the most likely loss is traveling to Philly in week 16. If either the Pats win out or the Texans drop a game, the Pats will have the 2 seed, and I agree that it's more likely than not at least one of those two events will happen.
I also agree the #2 seed presents the better matchups in the divisional round, but guaranteed home field trumps that consideration by a pretty wide margin IMO. I don't like this team's chances going into Arrowhead, although if Hill's ankle injury becomes a lingering concern I'll feel better about it.
That said, my biggest concern right now is that I have no idea what to expect from this team traveling to Pittsburgh. Luckily they look as out of sorts as we do, so even if we play as poorly as we have in almost every road game so far that still might be good enough for the Steelers to find a way to lose.
