Most importantly, we "control our own destiny". Win out and we're in.
Even if we lose to the Packers, we still control our destiny.. Win our final 2 and we're in, regardless of any other outcome

What's crazy is I think we still get in even if we win ONE of our remaining games!! (I know, I know, that would suck but just get in the dance, anything can happen)

If we were to JUST win 1 game:

If we JUST beat the Jets (Finish 9-8)
-Jets would only need to lose to either Jags OR Seahawks (greater than 60% chance imo)
-Patriots lose to either Bengals OR @ BILLS (extremely likely)
-Raiders lose to either @Steelers OR 49ers OR Chiefs (extremely likely)

If we JUST beat the Packers OR Patriots (Finish 9-8)
-Jets would need to lose to Jags AND @ Seahawks (greater than 50% chance imo)
-Patriots lose to either Bengals OR BILLS (extremely likely)
-Raiders lose to either the @Steelers OR 49ers OR Chiefs (extremely likely)

If we JUST beat Packers and Patriots, we'd need (Finish 10-7)
-Jet's lose 1 game

***What's cool is all these first games are next Thursday and Saturday (we play Sunday fyi)...

So by Saturday night, if the Jets, Patriots and Raiders all lose, we would JUST need to beat the Jets in Week 18 to get in***

Thanks! That avatar is awesome too!!!
 
Beat the Packers and Patriots over the next few weeks and then we'll just see where we're at going into the Jets finale. I was thinking that the Packers might rest Rodgers for the final 3 games if the lose on Monday, but heck if they win they're right in the thick of things in NFL wildcard race.

It is interesting up in GB.. Not sure if its a rumor or full on fact that Jordan Love is demanding a trade if the Packers move forward with ARod. I think if Baker can give us some Baker magic, it all but eliminates the Packers and they may want to see what they have in Love for the final 3 weeks of the season.
