In the hunt for the playoffs, I've looked at the following schedules and this is what I think..

NE 6-3
Probably will lose to Chicago, Miami and possibly Jax
projected record 10-6

NYJ 5-4 Losses to Chicago and Miami
projected 10-6

Mia 3-6
The only loss we should endure is to Indy.. however based on past performances, we could finish anywhere from 9-7 to 7-9

Barf-a load 3-6
Losses to Jax, San Diego, NYJ, Miami, Balt
projected 5-11

Indy 9-0
Losses to no one.. on paper, they should win out, I doubt anyone can beat them in a shootout and all we can hope for is an upset by (atleast) one team
projected 16-0


Cincy 4-5
Losses to Indy and Denver
projected 9-7

Jax 5-4
Losses to Miami and Indy
projected 10-6

Denver 7-2
Losses to San Diego (2 games remaining, they will split 1-1)
Projected 13-3

San Diego 7-2
Losses to Denver
Projected 13-3

KC 5-4
Loses to Denver, San Diego, Jax
Projected 9-7
 
Jacksonville is going to lose to NYG next week Indy won't go undefeated. I heard the Jets have a tough schedule coming up and don't think they will finish 10-6 and the way Cincy is playing they will lose more than 7 games and the only game Miami can afford to lose is a game against a NFC team.
 
The Jets play Chicago, Houston, Green Bay, Buffalo, Minnesota, Miami and Oakland.. its not all that tough
 
With that schedule I wonder why Sterling Sharpe said it was tough.
 
The jets will most likely lose to the Bears, @GB, @Miami.

If they lost any of the other games, I wouldn't be shocked. Oakland played Denver tough. Houston is on a roll. Buffalo is a divisonal game, so you never know.

Let's hold off on predicting a 10-6 record for the jets.

jets suck!
 
It's hard to say who will win what. Heck, the Raiders could knock off the Jets. Look at the Texans and Jags, who predicted that? You can't really predict these things...
 
we've actually lost to the Bills, Packers and Texans, and people are going to sit here and suggest Indy is our only likely loss from here out? please... this team still has major holes, and completely fell flat during the weakest part of its schedule... considering the teams we have left to play, i'll be amazed if we manage 8-8... amazed...
 
I don't think we'll be losing to Indy in week 17.

We'll probably be facing Jim Sorgi and a bunch of backups.

IMO, Indy will most likely clinch home field before then.

But yeah, predicting what we do from here on out is pretty crazy. This team is loaded with holes, and we don't know which team will show up next week, or the week after. One game at a time is a fine way to look at things, and we should keep it that way. Unfortunately, we didn't do so earlier in the year.. everyone overlooked Buffalo, Tennessee, & Houston (1-2 in those games) and looked straight ahead to New England & New York.
 
It's impossible to pick individual games which is why I don't buy into this whole mess. Did any of you guys think we would lose to Houston or Green Bay? Do you think Chicago thought we stood a chance?

With that being said, I go off how the teams are playing and the players those teams have. The Jets schedule is fairly easy, but they just don't have the personel. Miami is a far better football team and is an Olindo Mare missed field goal away from being tied with NY at 4-5.

I have to think our biggest worries will be Jacksonville, Cincinnati and maybe the Jets. Jacksonville will probably win 9 games so we must beat them when we play them. I still think Cincinnati is too talented to keep playing this way and I believe they might be close at the end. NY, maybe. But I still just don't think Pennington and that run game really scares any one. They would have a really tough time scoring on us the way our defense is playing lately.

As the great Sabanini would say, "PREPARE TO BE AMAZED!"

:lol: I know it's a little corny, but I'm just saying, don't count them out. If we lose to Minnesota or Detroit, then you can count out the Dolphins.
