Wow, I didn't realize they needed that much help. I'm assuming it is the conference record that is hurting them?

Yep

Yep

 

Just almost impossible to recover from the Chiefs-Raiders-Browns stretch.

I like the Bengals against all the teams listed except Pit and Hou.

Steelers won't get in. Even if they are able to win at Miami, they have to see the Jets lose to Cincy (could happen, not a sure thing by any stretch) and the Texans need to lose to New England (could happen, but it's at Houston, still far from a sure bet) and then it gets worse. Baltimore would have to lose to Oakland or Denver would have to lose to KC. So, it would take Dionne Warwick and her psychic friends all gettin aligned to curse 4 football teams for the Steelers to make it. And as I've said before, they don't deserve to make it with the effort they've given against lesser teams all season long.

 

Denver shouldn't have to lose for ther Steelers to get in right? Since the Steelers beat them, the Steelers have the tiebreaker. So they would need the Jets, Ravens, and Texans to lose correct? I really am not sure, its pretty confusing.

I don't think head-to-head records come into play when it's more than 2 teams tied, but I'm not sure.

Three or More Clubs

 

1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.

2. 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.)

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

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

5. Strength of victory.

6. Strength of schedule.

7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

9. Best net points in conference games.

10. Best net points in all games.

11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

12. Coin toss

I think it is safe to say that the coin toss will never be necessary :lol:

:laugh: I was thinking the same thing. I'd be surprised if it ever got to 5. But how funny would it be if it did come down to a coin flip.
