5. x-Kansas City Chiefs (11-4, 7-4 conf, 2-3 div; L 7-23 vs. Colts, at Chargers [8-7])
• Will be the No. 5 seed and open the playoffs at the No. 4 seed after a loss to the Colts and a Broncos win at the Texans.

6. Miami Dolphins (8-7, 7-4 conf, 2-3 div; L 0-19 at Bills, vs. Jets [7-8])
• Would clinch a playoff berth with a win and both/either Ravens loss at the Bengals and/or Chargers loss to the Chiefs.

7. Baltimore Ravens (8-7, 6-5 conf, 3-2 div; vs. Patriots [10-4], at Bengals [10-5])
• Would clinch a playoff berth with a win and either/both a Dolphins loss to the Jets and/or Chargers loss to the Chiefs.
• Also would clinch a playoff berth with a Dolphins loss and Chargers loss and Steelers loss to the Browns.]

There will be many people that will say we don't deserve to make the playoffs (and we honestly don't if we play like we did today come wild card weekend).

But keep in mind if we do make it we will be playing a team that we already beat this year (Colts, Bengals, or Patriots).

For the umpteenth time this year, it's ours for the taking. Gotta come out guns blazing Sunday.
 
I'm not sure we deserve it, but neither do the ravens or chargers... We still have to take care of business and we probably find ourselves in with 2 scenarios that could help us instead of 1

Why wouldn't Baltimore be the 6 seed currently?

Theres a three way tie right now at 8-7 with dolphins chargers and ravens. Ravens beat us but we beat chargers so there is no head-to-head tiebreaker applicable here.

So then the next tie breaker is conference record. Dolphins 7-4, ravens 6-5, chargers 5-6

We win the tiebreaker.
 
im hoping cincy doesn't sit starters. they are playing for one home game, so who knows

They absolutely won't rest starters. They could still get a first round bye.

The ravens dolphins and chargers? We get in.
 
You guys over complicate this stuff.

Dolphins have to win regardless. Lose to the Jets and it's over.

Scenario 1

If the Ravens lose to the Bengals, the Ravens are out and the Dolphins are in. It's a done deal. Start your drinkin' and celebratin' early.

Scenario 2

If the Ravens defeat the Bengals and the Chargers defeat the Chiefs, the Ravens are out and the Dolphins are in.
