So what's funny is that the Browns game really has no playoff implications, even though they're tied for a playoff spot right now. Tenn wins the tiebreaker with a win, loses it with a loss. So barring a Tenn tie, Cleveland's game means nothing. Pretty unique situation.

That's going to be one long day for the Browns, waiting all night to see what the Titans do.

If anything, at least we know the Browns will be giving the 49ers their best game.

2 game streak for the 49ers now, yuck.

I guess my question is... if the Jaguars win the wild card game, do they go to Indy? Since they have the best overall record behind Indy.

If the Jags win their wild card game and the 3rd seed defeats the 6th seed, they will face the Pats. [Correction edit]

The Jags will face either the Steelers or Chargers in that game.

 

[Metaphors]

If the Jags win their wild card game, they will face the Pats.

Not if the #6 seed beats the #3 seed. Then the #6 seed (TEN or CLE) will play the Pats.

My mistake.

And oh lordy would that be great.

i dont think cle or ten will win their first games....SD or PIT would beat either

and i think the jags would beat either of SD or PIT....

so projecting the jags playing PIT, i think divisional round of playoffs, we see Pats vs. Jags...

defenetely a good game

 

[Disco Volante]

Titans gave the Chargers a game down to the wire this year, as did the Browns to the Steelers.

And with Parker out now, whomever is to play them has a better shot.
