This is how I think it will turn out in the AFC. I feel good about all but the AFC South and West winners, but I still think Houston is good enough to win that division, and who knows with the AFC West. Wouldn't be shocked to see the Broncos win it. -

After the events of today I see Houston slipping a little bit in the AFC. -

I don't think Baltimore will lose again.
But I'm ok with the Steelers as the No. 5 seed. If they win the wild card they'll likely go to Baltimore in the divisional round. That would be fitting. -

I think Baltimore loses 2(Bengals and one other though I don't know their schedule) and the Steelers lose 1(San Fran maybe).

I think Baltimore may lose 1 more but not 2. The one game they may lose would be the last game at Cincy.
The rest of their schedule looks like this:
12/4 - @ Cleveland
12/11 - Indy
12/18 - @ San Diego
12/24 - Cleveland
1/1 - @ Cincy -
Terry_Tate
What is the rest of their schedule? Cleveland twice, Bengals, not sure who else. If its the Colts and Cardinals or something then yeah, 1 most likely.

New England has a real easy schedule.
But if Baltimore loses one and Houston loses one and Pittsburgh runs the table, they'll beat out New England. -
Terry_Tate
Half right at least. So 3 easy wins, at San Diego could easily be a loss, and the Bengals will be tough. Ill stick to 2 losses, though 1 seems most likely.

Yeah, they are my team but you know never what to expect with them. Oh and the NFL is crazy so I guess we shall just have to wait and see. I am thinking 1 loss but hoping Non is right.

I think Baltimore realizes they can't slip up. They have control of the division. That will keep them ready for each game.bigdaddy2003;990811 wrote:Yeah, they are my team but you know never what to expect with them.
