So if Pittsburgh blows the division, good chance they visit Cleveland for games in back-to-back weeks (W17 & Wild Card round).

Also could see Baltimore at Buffalo which would be intriguing.

There has to be like 5 upsets, AND CLE has to beat the Jets for the Chiefs to lose the 1-seed.

I'm more flabbergasted than an unbeliever.

Have we ever went 3-0 in the AFC West when all 4 teams had winning records. If so, we would have only needed to beat two other teams with winning record in our away games.

That seems like a scenario that could have played out in every division at least once already.

One of the things I love most about Patrick Mahomes II is that after each victory, there is some new stat demonstrating how absolutely dominant and great he is.

A lot more than that. But that gets the Bills or Steelers to the table with a short stack of chips. Right now, they are in the parking lot.

Merry Christmas to us

If the Saints beat the Vikings on Christmas, the Chiefs clinch the No. 1 seed (via strength of victory)

Could be- but we have the tiebreaker over the Bills- so it really is only the Steelers.

Beat the Falcons and it is a lock.

Nah, you can come up with scenarios where it doesn't work. Here's one.

I did it on the 538 site & all it does is eliminate the Bills from the running.

Gravedigger · 12-21-2020, 11:26 PM

Steelers won't beat the Colts so it doesn't matter all that much.

Then the playoff machine is still wrong after all these years. I found lots of errors in the early years, but I thought they fixed them all. I by far recommend the NYT forecaster or the 538 tool over the ESPN playoff machine.

Megatron96 · 12-21-2020, 11:57 PM

It's all just blue-sky speculation.

The Chiefs aren't losing two games in a row.

And PIT isn't winning their last two.

Nevermind the ridiculous number of silly crap that has to happen over the next two weeks for the Chiefs to lose the 1. Starting with losing the next two games.
