[ShrewBeer]

i listened to the radio, and read the messageboard, and nobody seems to be acknowledging that we have a clinched a first round bye. we will also get homefield with 2 wins, or 1 win and colts loss!:rocker:

that because we haven't if we lose 4 and Pit runs the table and colts win all except pit

we will be 12-4 and they will both be 13-3.

If we lose to PITT, then we must win 2 of the remaining 3 games to insure home field throughout playoffs. If we were to lose to PITT and win only 1 of remaining three, then PITT & INDY could have 1st round byes if they win out. Win v. PITT and lose 2 of remaining 3, we still have #1 seed.

Actually, if the Pats and Indy end up with the same record, the Pats would get the bye, not Indy. This is because they Pats beat Indy head to head.

In the scenario groundgame described, Indy finishes 14-2 and we finish 13-3 , so no tiebreaker needed. Pittsburgh also finishes 13-3 and gets the second bye based on head-to-head.
