final PUSH for the playoffs- since i am afc centric lets do it.
good news for the patriots bills colts and titans:
EITHER the chiefs OR the bengals are going to lose sunday (they play each other) imo chiefs will win with how they have played the past 3 weeks, while the bengals defense has played WELL i do not thing they can keep up with the chiefs offense if it is "normal". defense able to limit chiefs to FG's they have a shot.
chiefs- should go 2-0 for the last 2 games- bengals and broncos, one caveat if the chiefs secure the bye prior to the bronco's game they might treat it as a bye for most of their starters vs bronco's, we'll see
titans- tough one- i am thinking probably 2-0 but if the dolphins play it right they could pull off a win.
bengals. imo 1-1 -chiefs and browns, imo beat the browns lose to the chiefs, but who knows they have a decent shot at the chiefs if they play mistake free.
Bills imo 2-0 jets and falcons, though the falcons have a shot of beating them.
Colts imo 2-0 raiders jags-- raiders could give them a game though.
edit: Wentz was just announced to be Out for the game due to Covid (he is unvaccindated so needs to be out for 10 days) so colts have an increased chance of losing vs the raiders sunday.
patriots 2-0 SHOULD beat the jaguars and then miami- who has been playing well- to end the season, patriots could be fighting for their playoff lives if the dolphins have a win and you are in scenario.
dolphins- imo 0-2 lose to titans and patriots, HOWEVER if they play it right and they beat the titans, then they imo will not have a win and in at the end of the year, they will be in. BUT, if they lose then they will be in a win and in scenario vs pats. hopefully the pats overcome their "we play like shit in miami" issues they have had for the past 22 years or so.
ravens...-imo 1-1 to end year, lose to rams and beat steelers. but with the loss imo they will -most likely- be out of the playoffs.
chargers and raiders are tough, they win their game next week then the game after are against each other, and will probably be in a win and in scenario.
