NE will probably win out. if we win out AND BAL loses one more game i think we would take the #2 seed. http://espn.go.com/nfl/standings/_/type/playoffs/sort/conferenceRank/order/false tiebreaker right now is record vs conf. ne and bal still have another to play which is why we are ahead of them, pretty sure houston was 3 or 4 last week.
our strength of schedule will kill us if all teams win out and have the same conference record. playing a 0-16 indy team twice will do us in.
Baltimore is ahead of us if just Houston and Baltimore are tied. If it's a 3-way tie (NE/HOU/BAL), it is handled differently. If that's the case it's done by conference winning percentage followed by strength of victory (not sure what that means).
According to http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/playoffscenario Texans would be the 2 seed if all 3 win out. I'm too lazy to decipher the tiebreaker rules to see if that's accurate. Hopefully Baltimore will lose one though, with @SDC, CLE, @CIN left not the easiest 2 road games.
Have there EVER been four 13-3 teams in a single conference? The chances of that happening are ultra slim... one of these teams is going to lose a game (or two) prior to the playoffs.
Ok, so by the end of the season, we need win out AND have Baltimore and/or NE lose in order to get a bye? Go Tebow. Go Rivers.
Yep, don't see NE losing to the Dolphins or Bills at home so need to pray to Tebow. Ravens could lose @SDC or @CIN, but not the Browns at home. The Texans will not lose cause they don't do that kind of thing.
