At this point, you're still looking at the AFC West. The odds are long, but still worth looking at.

They actually changed the rules a few years ago so it is like Madden. The team that kicks in the first half automatically receives in the 2nd half.

Winning the toss gives you the option to choose to kick, receive, pick a side, or defer. The other team gets the same options to start the second half(minus the defer option of course). If you choose to kick, the other team can simply choose to receive in the second half thereby giving them the ball both to start the game and immediately following halftime. Choosing to defer means you are letting the other team pick first and you'll choose in the second half.
Teams have screwed up and chose to kick to start the game and had to kickoff again in the second half. This is kind of like the whole "I didn't know a game could end in a tie" thing. It happens, not often, but it happens.

Isn't that why the added the defer option a couple of years ago? I don't think they ever eliminated the option to choose to kick instead of defer. Could be wrong I guess but why would there be a defer option then?

Here's my preference for first round match ups:
1. Bye 2. Colts 3. Dolphins 4. Patriots 5. Bengals 6. Ravens |

If we win I think it's most likely going to be the Colts. The Ravens seem to beat them in the tiebreakers. These scenarios are a real mess because the top 3 AFC teams all lost last week.
I was just messing around with the ESPN playoff machine. There's still a scenario where Miami gets a 2 seed and the bye. Baltimore wins out (NE/@CIN) Chiefs beat the Colts Miami wins out (@BUF/JETS) New England loses out (BAL/@BUF) That happens, Miami is the 2 seed. We'd still play the Colts in round 1. New England losing to Buffalo is the only real crazy upset there. It's possible New England could go into that Buffalo game with this scenario: They win, they are the 2 seed and get a bye. They lose, they miss the playoffs entirely. True story. |

NE in their current state losing to Buffalo isn't the most far fetched thing in the world. Hope it happens.

Here you go, straight from the NFL rulebook, on the bottom of page 14.

I guess it's not impossible. Plus who knows what the weather will be in Buffalo, they've had some real nasty late season games over the years.
Still, I was really surprised. If they lose to Baltimore and CIN/MIA both win... New England might be playing just to get in the following week. |
