Would you rather: 5 seed at Pitt/Balt or 3 seed hosting Jax? 5 seed is most likely scenario by a long shot btw. If Jax loses and Texans win then it’s likely Texans are hosting Jax according to playoff machine. I don’t see Buffalo losing to Jets. Other scenario (assuming Jax loss and Hou win) would be Chargers beating Denver, which gives Texans Buffalo at home. Home game would obviously be nice but Texans are going to be playing the weakest AFC playoff team if they are the 5 seed, albeit on the road.
All I know is that Brock Purdy is the best Mr. Irrelevant QB I've even seen. In fact, there are a lot of really good quarterbacks compared to Stroud. But, I'm hoping for the best, and that Stroud does just enough to keep us winning, with our defense carrying him through each game from here on out. Our defense can make any great QB struggle. We just don't need Stroud going into turtle mode under pressure.
Allen re-injured his foot in the game today. Having him close to 100% so he can be his normal scrambling threat is mandatory for them to do anything in the playoffs. There is a chance Allen doesn't play, and they take the mentality that they will play whomever they get matched up against.
So my guess is: #1 Denver bye #2 New England versus #7 LA Chargers #3 Jacksonville versus #6 Buffalo #4 Baltimore verses #5 Houston
