Division record only matters to break division tiebreakers, not conference tiebreakers. First tiebreaker is conference schedule. Both teams would have one AFC loss, which means it goes to 2nd tiebreaker. Second tiebreaker is common opponents, minimum of 4. We have 4 common opponents and we beat all 4. If Pittsburgh loses to Buffalo, we win the 2nd tiebreaker. As for the bye, it's not about HFA. That extra game introduces additional risk in terms of things going wrong, fatigue, injuries. As DaFace said the other day, strictly from a statistical standpoint, having the bye increases our chances of getting the Super Bowl by a whopping 43%. It's significant. |

I'm having a hard time believing Brees will be back. Sounded like he broke about every rib in his body along with a punctured lung. I guess maybe that first round bye they are chasing could push him out there, but they need him in the playoffs for any hope of Super Bowl run.

Steelers should lose to the Bills and Browns.

If the Steelers lose to Buffalo and the Chiefs win out, the loss to the Redskins means nothing. Other than showing what we already know. That the Steelers are frauds.

Week 4 of the season. A lot has changed for both teams. But then again, if Cleveland doesn’t beat Baltimore my tune changes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But let's not misunderstand; I'm not saying that when KC plays LAC in week 17 that it'll be a cakewalk. Just saying that they really aren't serious contenders yet, from a skill and coaching standpoint. They don't scare anyone, in other words, but that doesn't mean they can't win. But if the Chiefs come out and play to their average or slightly better, it's unlikely LAC will be able to keep up. Against NOR, KC's average keeps NOR in the game. The Chiefs will have to play better than their average to win. That's basically what I meant.

Thank you sir. I’m at fault for not double checking Max Kellerman and Steven A. Smith’s comments on First Take yesterday about Pittsburgh winning the tiebreaker.
