Well, I’m still facing the season one game at a time, but will now (for the first time) attempt to prognosticate the remainder of the season. Since we threw away the absolute perfect opportunity to get some breathing space for a wild card, here’s how I see the AFC race going down:
Jags (9-4)…49ers (W), Texans (W), Titans (W); 1st WC at 12-4.
Steelers (8-5)...Vikes (L), Browns (W), Lions (W); 2nd WC at 10-6.
Chiefs (8-5)...Giants (L), Chargers (W), Bengals (L); finish at 9-7.
Chargers (8-5)..Colts (L), Chiefs (L), Donks (W; Donks rest starters); finish 9-7.
Chiefs would have to essentially win out to beat Pittsburgh for the final WC.
Season changer de jour: Fujita sack/fumble of Green in Red zone. Somebody failed to pick up Fuj blitzing.
