Nuts might be a good one, I bought these in-shell hickory smoked peanuts that are incredible.

M'alright. Mathematically we're very much alive.
We've got four winnable games, albeit against very tough competition, that should allow us a very real shot at winning into the postseason. Capping off a sweep of the Chargers would be icing on the cake.
How I project the rest of the season working out:
1. Pats, Donks, Colts get slots 1-3, in order.
2. Here's how the top wild card contenders fare:
Dolphins (7-5):
vs. Baltimore W
@ NE L
vs. Vikings W
vs. Jets W
Dolphins end up 10-6.
Browns (7-5):
vs. Colts L
vs. Bengals L
@ Panthers W
@ Ravens L
Browns end up 8-8.
Steelers (7-5):
@ Cincy L
@ Falcons W
vs. Chiefs L
vs. Bengals W
Steelers end up 9-7.
Ravens (6-4):
@ Dolphins L
vs. Jags W
@ Texans W
vs. Browns W
Ravens end up 10-6.
Bengals (8-3-1):
vs. Steelers W
@ Browns W
vs. Broncos L
@ Steelers L
Bengals end up 10-5-1.
Chiefs (7-4):
@ Arizona L
vs. Oakland W
@ Steelers W
vs. Chargers W
Chiefs end up 10-6.
Chargers (7-4):
vs. Patriots L
vs. Broncos L
@ 49ers L
@ Chiefs L
Chargers end up 7-9.
3. Bengals win the #4 slot.
4. As for the remaining three 10-6 teams vying for the #5 and #6 slot:
Dolphins 10-6
Ravens 10-6
Chiefs 10-6
(a.) If the Dolphins lose to the Ravens this week, they would have lost to both the Ravens and the Chiefs, and therefore would lose this tiebreaker automatically. The Chiefs have the better projected conference record than the Ravens, 8-4 to 6-6.
(b.) If the Dolphins win, as I expect they will, than it will be a three-way tiebreaker, with the two best AFC records getting the remaining playoff spots.
The next tie-breaker is AFC conference record:
Dolphins: 8-4
Chiefs: 8-4
Ravens: 6-6
The Dolphins and Chiefs get the remaining slots. The Chiefs would actually be the #5 team, and probably visit Cincinnati.
