Another PLayoff Question

What happens if the Dolphins and Patriots each finish 10-6? According to this, the Dophins win with a better conference record. Is that right?

The Colts are a shoe-in for the wildcard absent a monumental collapse.

The Ravens have a brutal remaining schedule and will go 9-7.

There is a real good chance the Phins and Pats both finish 10-6.

So what happens?

Let's beat the Bills first, but I think we would get in over NE. I am more worried about winning the AFC East. If we win out, we control our own destiny.

yup. win out and we're in.... not to mention probably one of the most exciting game 16's you'll ever see. Dolphins vs. Jets - AFC East on the line. You can't beat that!

If we tie the Pats for that last wildcard spot then then fins would take it.

The Jets vs. Fins game should be MNF.

The Jets vs. Fins game should be MNF.

there is no mnf in week 17

The Jets/Fins game needs to just mean something. I'd give my shaft for it to do so.

Actually it depends on what game we lose and what game they lose. If we were to lose to the bills or jets and they lose a non division game they would get in ahead of us. If we have to lose another game it would be best if we lost to the 9ers. We HAVE to beat the the jets and bills to have a real shot at this. A loss this week and we will need lots of help to make it to the post season.

Ok, thank you. That puts things in perspective. The Bills will be starting Loss-man this week. So, things are looking up.
