    I'll guess 3 of those current top 6 won't make it.....it's rarely predictable.

    Jets, Chargers, Falcons and Cowboys.....3 of those take the place of Bengals, Raiders, Lions, Giants and Bears.

    I think only the Jets can sneak in in the AFC. The NFC who knows. Id say the 6 in the AFC will be the playoff teams, but New England will be the 1 and Pittsburgh the 2.

    Just looking ahead...I agree, but something unpredictable typically happens.

    What I mentioned on Thursday night ended up happening.

    Jets, Bills and Titans all lost, putting the Steelers up by two games in the wild card chase.

    The No. 5 position wouldn't be that bad if they ended up where they are now. Oakland is a solid team but better to go there than New England. Obviously, Pittsburgh at Oakland would be kinda cool anyway.
  • Non
    New England would beat Cincinnati

    Then if the Steelers beat Oakland it would be Pittsburgh at Baltimore in the divisional round.

    2 1/2 hours after my post it is being mentioned that Jay Cutler may be out for the season.

    Well after the SNF game the Cowboys are ahead of the Giants for the division(better division record).

    Non I said it on the random chatter thread but I'll say it here you were right the Bills are terrible.

    As for who actually makes it I go

    AFC- 1)Ravens 2)Texans 3)Patriots 4)Oakland 5)Steelers 6)Bengals
    NFC- 1)Packers 2)49ers 3)Saints 4)Cowboys 5)Bears 6)Falcons

    The Bills/Jets game is basically an elimination game.

    Despite all that's happened to both teams the past few weeks, whoever wins will be back in it.

    The Falcons will surpass the Lions......by at least 2 games.

    You heard it here first.

    I was ready to jump on here and say how that's crazy, but looking at their schedules, it's plausible. Atlanta has two "tough" games left, @ Houston and @ New Orleans, which they could split depending on Leinart. Detroit has four "tough" games left (home/away vs GB, @ Oakland, @ New Orleans) which, who knows. If they lose three of those four and Atlanta goes 5-1, there you have it.

    - New England currently holds the No. 1 seed based on strength of victory tiebreaker over Houston. New England, Houston and Baltimore have identical overall records. New England and Houston are 6-2 in the conference and Baltimore is 5-2, so because Baltimore has the lowest winning percentage they would be eliminated, first.

    - Baltimore currently leads the AFC North based on head-to-head tiebreaker over Pittsburgh.

    Cleveland actually has an opportunity still.

    If you look at the other teams like the Bengals, Jets, Bills, Broncos, Titans, Chargers, Chiefs.

    Are any of those teams looking like true playoff teams? I'd say no with the exception of Cincinnati but the Browns play the Bengals this week and the Bengals still have games against Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Houston.

    If the Browns win this week and go to 5-6 with the Bengals at 6-5, they're in the wild card picture.

    I don't think they'll beat the Bengals but if they did they'll be one game back with five left.

    Sure, they're probably only a mediocre team but so are the others in contention for the last spot. Browns can hang their hat on a pretty good defense.

    They have a better shot at passing the Lions then the Bears.

    I think that depends on how long Cutler is out.

    Wouldn't know as a fan of the team that hasn't been good for the last few season I wouldnt know what a good team/defense looks like. /non's idiocy.
