Scenarios
 

What has to happen to play Miami wild card weekend? That's the scenario I'm rooting for. Epic road trip and very good chance at a playoff win. Playing Baltimore won't end well.

Miami would have to win the division

So they would have to win out and the Patriots would have to lose out

unlikely the Pats lose at home to the Bills

Not happening. Most likely the Colts.

I'm fine with that.

Please, PLEASE Andy, please choose to kick...

I can't imagine an invasion of Fin fans. THere has to be some savvy ones out there. I have only run across Finhaven dumbutt 12year olds.

You never choose to kick. You choose to defer. If you choose to kick, the other team can simply choose to receive the second half. This aint Madden.

New England would have to lose at Baltimore and against Buffalo. Miami would need to win at Buffalo and beat the Jets. Considering the teams we'll need will be favored in 3 of the games, it's certainly possible.

Does beating the Colts this weekend seal the deal on playing Indy?

No...

Although, if we beat the Colts next week, they'll only finish with at best 10 wins and will lose any tiebreaker to Cincinnati or Miami. So if you really want to play Miami, you might want to lose this week.

Not entirely, but pretty close. All it would take is another Bengals and Patriots win after that (and they're playing the Vikings and Bills respectively over the next 2 weeks). If we beat them, they're probably ending up as the #4.

Of course, there's also the possibility the Broncos actually lose on the road, which could change anything and everything.

Huh?

Ya I found the espn playoff generator. I can't find a single scenario that we dont play the Colts if we beat them this weekend. Lose to them and we run a very high risk of playing Baltimore or New England on the road. The Dolphins scenario requires us losing and I'm not feeling that.

This Colts game is turning into a massive game this weekend if we think that's the best match up in the playoffs.
