It's simple:
AFC East - Bills (we are 3 games behind and only play them once more)
AFC North - Steelers
AFC South - Titans
AFC West - Chiefs
Cleveland 8-3
Indianapolis 7-4
Miami 7-4*
Baltimore 6-5*
Las Vegas 6-5*
Patriots 5-6 and have beaten 3 of 5 teams vying for 3 spots.
Bottom line...we need Cleveland and Indianapolis to lose a few games to really muck things up.
Cleveland's sked: @TEN, BAL, @NYG, @NYJ, and PIT
Indianapolis' sked: @HOU, @LV, HOU, @PIT, and JAX
I am seeing 3 losses for the Browns...that gets them to 10-6.
I am seeing 2 losses for the Colts...that gets them to 10-6.
So, if we run the table...we really have a shot at forcing some tie breakers to come in play.... but it all starts with a L.A. double dip in the next week. No double dip......we are done for unless there is a COVID week 18....
If we double dip...we have 10 days to deal with Tua in Miami.....then finish at home vs. Buffalo and the Jets.
10-6 should do it in a 7 team AFC playoff format...SHOULD.
