Realistic Look at the Playoffs
As of now, our only realistic shot is really with the Wild Card. Two Spots, Five Teams. Here are the situations for each team:
Jacksonville: 7-5
vs. Indianapolis
at Tennessee
vs. New England
at Kansas City
Denver: 7-5
at San Diego
at Arizona
vs. Cincinnati
vs. San Francisco
Cincinnati: 7-5
vs. Oakland
at Indianapolis
at Denver
vs. Pittsburgh
Kansas City: 7-5
vs. Baltimore
at San Diego
at Oakland
vs. Jacksonville
New York Jets: 7-5
vs. Buffalo
at Minnesota
at Miami
vs. Oakland
Out of all the teams, I feel that we're the only one with a legitamate shot at winning the rest of our games. If Mangini keeps the team from getting cocky and keeps them motivated, I feel we're a lock to finish atleast 10-6 or possibly 11-5. I'm not sure how all the tiebreakers work, but I know we lost to Jacksonville head to head, therefore they have priority over us. That being said, we have to hope to finish atleast one game better than them, since tying wouldn't help. They have a pretty tough schedule left, so it shouldn't be that hard.
