The Jets or the Ravens in the Playoffs?

Let's assume that the Chiefs, the Jets, and the Ravens make the playoffs. The Jets and the Ravens being WC.

Who do you want to play?

J-E-T-S
The Ravens will destroy us.

Jets. And its not even close. We can beat the Jets with no real luck. We need major luck to beat the Ravens.

Ravens are the better team. There isn't all that much doubt to be honest. And I'd think they're a particularly bad matchup for a run-oriented team like KC.

Alot of people up here think the Ravens are a bad matchup for the Pats, but I think that's more based on past history -- Ravens-Pats games have historically been tight, and last year's playoff loss was ugly. This is a completely different Pats team now, hoever, and I don't think the Ravens are a bad matchup for the Pats at all.

I think the Chiefs may well be a very bad matchup for the Pats, however. A dominant running game to help keep Brady on the sideline isn't really what we want to see, as Patriots fans.

This just came up in the playoff scenario thread.

we get the 3...we'd likely face the Jets...that's a very winnable game at Arrowhead...

and then we'd advance to play Pitt...we get a bounce or two and win that game...

I honestly think we'd have a pretty good shot at hosting the AFC Championship game...Indy can beat New England...

I'm cheering for a Colts @ Chiefs AFC Championship Game...we can beat the Colts @ Arrowhead.

Seriously?

We can win out in the regular season. We might not, but it would shock no one. If the Jets have to play us in Arrowhead, that game is winnable. The Jets could definitely beat us, but again it would shock no one if they dont.

I do think we get skunked @ Heinz Field, but who knows. We win that game in a crazy-ass fluke and Manning turns it on in the playoffs...

I'd expect to get paid off at least 10:1 in that wager (chiefs to host the AFC championship game, yes or no) if we finish the regular season as the #3 seed hosting the Jets, but it could happen.

Agreed.

I don't see us beating Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh. Not without a LOT of breaks.

As crazy as it sounds, we'd have a much better chance of beating NE on the road - we just matchup better against them. Plus, there are a couple of coaches on this staff that might make a difference in that game.

As it stands now, would you rather be the #3 seed, play the Jets, then Pittsburgh, or would you rather be the #4 seed, which presents a tougher WC matchup against Baltimore, but a better matchup in the Divisional Round should you win WCW?

It has to be the Jets.

The Cosmos says so.

I'd prefer facing the Sanchize to Bert.

Exactly my thinking.

Either would be okay... No reason why we couldnt beat either one of them...

I think the Chiefs are a tough match for anyone at Arrowhead.

That is assuming we dont jack around and get smoked at home in the next two weeks.

I would rather win those first...

The drafturbators meet their DOOM!

The Ravens would skull **** the Chiefs, the Jets always seem to be just a Rex Ryan cupcake away from a complete collapse but it never happens. I think the Jets is their best hope for a deeper run.
