5 games out: Direckshun's Projeckshuns

[Direckshun]

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 (6-5):

@ Jets W
vs. Baltimore W
@ NE L
vs. Vikings W
vs. Jets W

Dolphins end up 10-6.

Browns (7-4):

@ Bills W
vs. Colts L
vs. Bengals W
@ Panthers W
@ Ravens L

Browns end up 10-6.

Steelers (7-4):

vs. Saints W
@ Cincy L
@ Falcons W
vs. Chiefs W
vs. Bengals W

Steelers end up 11-5.

Ravens (6-4):

@ Saints [tonight] W
vs. Chargers W
@ Dolphins L
vs. Jags W
@ Texans W
vs. Browns W

Ravens end up 11-5.

Bengals (7-3-1):

@ Bucs W
vs. Steelers W
@ Browns L
vs. Broncos L
@ Steelers L

Bengals end up 9-6-1.

Chiefs (7-4):

vs. Broncos L
@ Arizona W
vs. Oakland W
@ Steelers L
vs. Chargers W

Chiefs end up 10-6.

Chargers (7-4):

@ Ravens L
vs. Patriots L
vs. Broncos L
@ 49ers L
@ Chiefs L

Chargers end up 7-9.

3. Steelers get the tiebreaker over the Ravens (projected 3-3 divisional record to Baltimore's projected 2-4) and take the #4 slot. Ravens take #5 and will visit Pittsburgh.

4. As for the remaining three 10-6 teams vying for the #6 slot:

Dolphins 10-6
Browns 10-6
Chiefs 10-6

Oddly enough, the fact that the Chiefs beat the Dolphins (and that the Dolphins beat the Browns) doesn't matter. The only time head-to-head counts when it's a three way tie is if the team in question has beaten (or lost to) each of the other team. But the Chiefs and Browns didn't play, and the Dolphins went 1-1.

The next tie-breaker is AFC conference record:

Dolphins: 8-4
Chiefs: 7-5
Browns: 6-6

The Dolphins get the #6 slot and will visit Indy.

The Chiefs and Browns miss the playoffs.

You telling me that his tendency to take JC out of the game plan inside the 5 yard line time after time is "learning from his mistakes?"

Reid has his pros as well as his cons...

BTW, Welcome back

I guess we have hit the point where every post reerun makes is the same one about the HC.

You picked a great name BTW.

That being said 50% of the scenarios have KC in the playoffs.

I just start from the games to be played and pick the games individually. Never noticed the 2 ties thing, that is dumb.

Pats are looking dominate. Killed the Colts and Lions.

They didn't look dominant vs the Chiefs.

Plus, Colts and Lions aren't very good.

There has only been one undefeated team in the modern era, so let's not act like every other coach is perfect and Reid is crap.

Except this douche is a troll. Hates Reid, and the whole coaching staff. Unfortunately for him his football takes are worse than his breath after a cross country red eye flight! Dumbasses are gonna dumbass!!

Chiefs sneak in at 10-6...only to lose to Indy again.

Played with the ESPN playoff machine, had us at 10-6, in several scenarios and it was hard to knock us out... 5 seed almost every time. Gotta win 3 out of 5.
