Playoff scenarios

[MilkSpiller22]

If i understand this correctly,

Looks like in the AFC, The 1, 3, 5 seed is clinched..... the rest is up in the air.... I ASSUME NO TIES IN MY ANALYSIS.... TIES WILL COMPLICATE EVERYTHING

the 2 is between the Dolphins and Bills... whoever wins this week gets the 2 seed...

If the Dolphins lose then they simply go to the 6 spot....

If Bills win then we have an easy scenario

1. Ravens
2. Bills
3. Chiefs
4. A
5. Browns
6. Dolphins
7. B

where A is the winner of the AFC south
and B is either the Steelers/Jaguars/Texans/Colts

If Jaguars beat the Titans they win the division...

If Jaguars lose, then winner of the Texans/colts game win the division

the 7 seed
If the Jaguars win the division
then the winner of the Colts texans, gets the 7 seed

If the Jaguars dont win the division

Steelers get the 7 seed with win, Jaguars get the 7 seed with loss


If the Dolphins win then we have a very complicated and fun scenario

1. Ravens
2. Dolphins
3. Chiefs
4. A
5. Browns
6. B
7. C

A has the same scenario as shown above...


In any tie between Bills, Texans, colts, Steelers
the tie break goes Colts then Texans, then Steelers, then Bills

so if the Jags win the division the 6 seed will be the winner of the colts/texans game

If the Jags lose and the steelers Lose- then the Bills get that 6 seed

If the Jags Lose and Steelers win- then the Steelers have the 6 seed


The 7 seed can only be won by the steelers, Jaguars or Bills

If Jaguars win the division and Steelers win- then steelers win the 7 seed and BILLS DONT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS
if Jaguars Lose the divison and the Steelers beat titans- then Bills win the 7 seed JAGUARS DONT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS
if the Jaguars


With the Jaguars and Steelers both being Favourite to win this week... If the Bills dont beat the Dolphins, then they will most likely be knocked out of the playoffs...

Dont remember the last time i saw a game where the winner gets the 2 seed and the loser doesnt make the playoffs...

I like how many of these teams control their own destiny. Win and in.

And sometimes against another win and in team which becomes a playoff game.

Again... if I am right... which I may be wrong... the only team in the AFC race who can win and not make the playoffs is the steelers...

in the NFC, on the other hand... there is a bunch of teams fighting for that 7 spot.. such that winning is not the only thing teams need... other than for the buccaneers to win the division and the packers to get the 7 seed

the Bills are always so complicated!

What would have made this crazy playoff scenario even crazier is if both SF and Baltimore needed the last game of the season to determine the #1 seed. Obviously Niner and Raven fans will heartily disagree!!!

theres a 3 way tie for 1st in the AFCS
jck owns tiebreakers
hou/ind play each other
theres a 2 way tie for NFCS
TB owns tiebreakers
Atl plays NO so if they win and TB loses they are NFCS champs
