[HammerTime]

Bengals road just got a lot tougher.

Who knows in this mess. I can't erase the fact that the defending champs were hit with the heart pump yesterday...

Giants dropped the ball for the Bengals last night, so now the Bengals trail both

 

KC and Jaguars with a 6-4 record.

 

 

KC plays Broncos while the Jaguars takes on the Bills this week.

Jets play the Texans

[h.s.sportsrbest]

KC gets the 2nd pick. Jags have too many issues. Bengals have too tough a road. Jets have too little to work with. Steelers have too far to climb.

I disagree about KC. Looking at their schedule they could easily end 8-8. They have a tough road.

[h.s.sportsrbest]

I disagree about KC.

That's what makes the world go round. :thumb:

I thought it had something to do with gravitiy, the earth's axis and the sun?

Jacksonville- @ Buffalo, @ Miami, Indy, @ Tenn, New England, @ KC. Jacksonville stands at 6-4 and I only see 3 more maybe 2 wins on that schedule.

KC-

 

Denver Loss

Dec 3 @Cleveland Win

Dec 10 Baltimore Loss

Dec 17 @San Diego Loss

Dec 23 @Oakland Win

Dec 31 Jacksonville ??????

 

8-8 maybe 9-7.

9-7 may very well win it. Buffalo, Miami and Tenn should be wins. I could very easily see it coming down to that final game of the season.

Bengals-

 

Nov 26 @Cleveland Win

Nov 30 Baltimore Win

Dec 10 Oakland Win

Dec 18 @Indianapolis Loss

Dec 24 @Denver Loss

Dec 31 PittsburghWin

 

That would leave the Bengals at 9-7. They need to beat Indy or Denver to get in I think. What is the wildcard tiebreaker??

Yes I agree that will be a huge game. I think Miami will beat them.

[ladiesbballcoach]

Yes I agree that will be a huge game. I think Miami will beat them.

I would LOVE to see Miami beat them. Anything to help the Bengals.

Jags-Miami will be a great defensive game and I think can go either way.

If necessary to break ties to determine the three wildcard teams from each conference and the site of a first-round playoff game, the following steps will be taken:

 

If the tied clubs are from the same division, use division tiebreaker.

If the tied clubs are from different divisions, use the following steps:

 

TWO CLUBS

 

Head to head, if applicable.

Best won-lost-tied percentage in games within the conference.

Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

Best average net points in conference games.

Best net points in all games.

Strength of schedule.

Best net touchdowns in all games.

Coin toss.

 

THREE OR MORE CLUBS

 

Head-to-head sweep (applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others, or if one club has lost to each of the others).

Best won-lost-tied percentage in games within the conference.

Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

Best average net points in conference games.

Best net points in all games.

Strength of schedule.

Best net touchdowns in all games.

Coin toss.

NOTE: If two teams remain tied after a third or additional teams are eliminated, the tiebreaker reverts to step 1 of the applicable two-club format. When the first wildcard team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second wild card, i.e., eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2, and repeated a third time, if necessary, to identify the third wild card. in situations where three or more teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tiebreaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a wildcard.
