6 games left pick our wins!

**Scorp** · 11-21-2005, 10:37 AM

Quite frankly I think we have a tough time beating any opponent of our last 6 games. Pick the games you think we will win.

**Bowser** · 11-21-2005, 10:39 AM

The only thing I know for sure is that we are going to have to be 11-5 to make the playoffs. Two more losses and we're out. The AFC is just too deep.

**DaFace** · 11-21-2005, 10:43 AM

Hmm...wrong poll type. I can only pick one game.

I'd say:
New England Patriots - W
Denver Broncos - L
at Dallas Cowboys - W
at New York Giants -L
San Diego Chargers - W
Cincinnati Bengals - L

I'm pessimistic. That way I won't be too depressed if I'm right.

**Scorp** · 11-21-2005, 10:44 AM

damn messed up the poll can't make multiple choices. sorry my bad.

Dr. Johnny Fever · 11-21-2005, 10:49 AM

I don't know if we'll win any of those games without some players like Roaf getting back from injury, some players steping up on offense, especially the line, and some good 'ol fashioned luck.

I hope we didn't watch our last win 'o the season last night. The meltdown will be full and furious if it was.

MIAdragon · 11-21-2005, 10:47 AM

New England Patriots - W
Denver Broncos - L
at Dallas Cowboys - L
at New York Giants -W
San Diego Chargers - L
Cincinnati Bengals - L - may not start everyone, if so W

If the Chiefs go 10-6 with that particular combination of wins and losses, they will make the playoffs.

Think so?

I see Denver winning the division and Cinci finishing one game ahead of us. Jacksonville gets in.

We don't.

Danush · 11-21-2005, 11:58 AM

5-1. with the loss coming to either the Giants or Cowboys.

One home playoff game, a win; folllowed by a road win at Pittsburg, for the right to go to the Colts for the AFC crown.

I don't think both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh will make it to 11-5 or better. I don't have the tie-breakers memorized, but if one of them ends up in a 10-6 tie with the Chiefs, the Chiefs will have the better AFC record and the Chiefs will have won the head-to-head against Cinci.

There's also an outside chance that either Jacksonville or Denver will stumble unexpectedly. If Denver loses on Thanksgiving to Dallas and later to San Diego in San Diego, they'd only have to lose one other game besides the one to the Chiefs to hand the Chiefs the division title under your scenario. Admittedly, this is a longshot since Denver would have to lose to either Buffalo, Oakland, or Baltimore, but it's a small possibility on top of the Cinci/Pittsburg possibility I mentioned above.

Of course, it's not a sure thing that we'd get in at 10-6, but I think we would if the wins come from our remaining AFC games.

Cinci's remaining schedule:

Baltimore - win
@ Pitt - loss
Cleveland - win
@ Detroit - win
Buffalo - win
@ KC - loss

That's 11-5

Pitt's remaining schedule

@ Indy - loss
Cinci - win
Chicago - loss
@ Minny - win
@ Cleveland - win
Detroit - win

That's also 11-5.

Unfortunately for us, Pitt, Cinci, and Jax all have very easy remaining schedules...

hypersensitiveZO6 · 11-21-2005, 10:49 AM

Our main competition right now is Jacksonville, New England, and San Diego. We play 2 out of those 3 teams. I think right now a wildcard is all we can hope for.

I can't really pick what we are going to win and lose, but I think are toughest span is at Dallas and at New York. I think we can win the home games.

Prediction : 10-6

New England? They'll win the AFCE, so there's no competition for a wildcard there. Cincy is a more realistic problem.
