And, here you go... didn't know which thread was most appropriate for this, so created one. Enjoy playing out the final few weeks.

I like the way things are playing out. Stoolers with their tie and the loss this week are angling toward the 3 seed, which means we might get to avoid either NE or PIT. They still have a game left against the Saints as well.

Of course, if they tank too far, we might still have to play them both.

Thanks!

Interesting stuff. My initial guesses show the Steelers and Broncos fighting for the #6 spot, with the Colts having an outside shot. It would be great if the Steelers didn't even make the playoffs.

And the NFC seeds from 3 to 6 bounce all over the place.

And man, the Chiefs have to keep winning. We may be able to survive one loss if we're lucky, but we can't survive two.

Mile High Mania · 11-26-2018, 11:14 AM

I hope all the Denver faithful work this pretty aggressively... Denver has a nice stretch of games, but there's zero room for error which is why I am content with the reality (as I have been the last 2 months) that there is no post season in their future. The Broncos literally have to win out and have a few things go there way, outside of PIT/LAC/BAL/HOU losing a game or two they shouldn't.

Will be interesting to see how KC holds off the Patriots...

MIN / @ MIA / @ PIT / BUF / Jets
@ OAK / BAL / LAC / @ Sea / Oak

Patriots have the harder road and are 1 game back of KC, but they hold the H2H tiebreaker. It's going to be an interesting finish. Curious to see what happens with LAC/PIT/HOU/IND/BAL.

Man KC has the much favorable schedule over LAC, NE, and Pitt. That's a freaking brutal stretch for Pitt and LAC.

RunKC · 11-26-2018, 11:17 AM

The Colts are the exact type of team that can beat us. I don’t want them in the playoffs

CaliforniaChief · 11-26-2018, 11:19 AM

Yeah, lots of things up in the air.

Pit. vs. NE probably for a bye and to decide who hosts the rematch (if they're 2-3 seeds.)
Chiefs can probably afford 1 loss (at Seattle?) to get HFA. (I assume NE loses at least 1 more.)
Chargers spot in playoffs is far from settled. They have some tough games coming up and no real home field advantage in their home games.

They finish 10-6 and lose out on the 6th spot to the Ravens because of conference record.

Lmao if Texans win out and Pats lose just one of their remaining games they will be playing during wildcard weekend. Oh and Steelers have completely fist ****ed any opportunity at a bye.

Chiefnj2 · 11-26-2018, 11:46 AM

Have the Texans beaten anyone with a winning record?
