patriots

raiders

Miami (8-5)

at jets
at bills
patriots

Baltimore (7-6)

eagles
at steelers
at bengals

if tannehill didnt get hurt id make us the favorite. who's gonna get to 10 wins? i can very easily see all 3 teams finish 9-7. in fact thats what im predicting. and in that case ill have to include tennessee and houston cuz whoever finishes 2nd can very easily finish 9-7 too.

houston (7-6, division leader for now)

jaguars
bengals
at titans

tennessee (7-6)

at chiefs
at jaguars
texans

i see 9-7 for both of those teams too lol. this is gonna be 1 giant cluster****.
 
I just did ESPN's playoff generator and in my scenario we are 10-6 and the 6th seed playing the Steelers in the wildcard.
 
Yes it can all happen by Christmas night if we handle our business, Pats beat Denver and Steelers beat the Ravens.
 
If we go 10-6 we are most likely in. Denver is the only real threat outside of a 3 way tie if we can win ten games.
 
I just want to get past this Jets game, one game at a time. It wont be easy, never is late in year against a division team on the road. On top of that add all the injuries we have accumulated
 
The problem with getting 10 wins is Denver wins most tiebreaker scenarios with Miami.

Denver definitely with a tough schedule but Raiders could be locked into their seeding by week 17 and maybe they sit Carr with his hand injury.
 
The Steelers/ Ravens battle for the div. is intriguing, just like the AFC W is.

Far as Miami, just keep winning :brewskis:

Highly doubt that. They are tied with K.C. in record but K.C. owns the tie-breaker. Both will be playing for the division in week 17 and a possible bye.

Yep. I refuse to look at scenarios until we beat the Jets and get to 9-7. Won't be an easy game at all. Especially with so many injured players on our side.
 
I'm less worried about other teams' performances. If we go 9-7, playoffs or not, I'll be happy. If we go 10-6, even if we miss the playoffs, I'll be ecstatic. Winning against the AFC East is a huge deal to me. We have 3 make-or-break games in late December against the AFC East ... and we will have something similar every year. If we can prove that we can beat 2 out of the 3, that is exactly where I want to be every year.

Fins Up!
 
Meh! Well our games are all division games and we all know - no matter what the Jets or Buffalos record is they will play us hard! New England will be out for blood after what happened last year unless they clinch home field before we play. We got a tough road ahead of us! I'm not holding my breath at all!

9-7? You mean 9-5?
 
Denver has a very difficult schedule. Could honestly see them going 8-8. Baltimore is a tough team to predict because they are so up and down, but with their schedule 10-6 is possible.

With Matt Moore Miami's offense could really struggle. Hard to see the Dolphins getting to 10-6, but if they do that should get them a playoff berth.

Win on Saturday night. Period.

A win Saturday gives the team a shot in the arm to go to Bills. If they lose not so much of a good feeling heading to Bills. You know Rex will have his defense ready for our offense. A Pouncey return would have been a boost to the running game which would have been great on the road with the weather and a backup QB. Was really hoping he would be back for the division games even though in reality wasnt expecting it.
