CKS97 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 It's more real than in recent years the possibility of the Patriots not getting a first round bye. Pittsburgh and Houston have stayed hot, Pats' Titans stumble and the 1-2 start can't be discounted. Texans have an easy finishing schedule, Steelers have a tough schedule, Pats have 2 potentially loseable game vs. MIN/NE. Unlike previous seasons, the Pats may not be able to cruise to their seemingly eternal 1-2 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar12 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Whoever wins the Pats-Steelers game gets the #2 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIT has a harder schedule to finish out the season, vs. NE, LAC and NO. The Patriots have PIT and that's pretty much it. HOU has a pretty easy schedule too, but NE has the H2H tiebreaker on them. It looks possible that any of NE/PIT/HOU could fall anywhere in the 2-4 range. NE has had some impressive wins against good teams - Houston, Indy, KC, Chicago, GB. Wins against three division leaders, and will be playing against another one in PIT. They've had a pretty competitive schedule this season. On the flipside, their three losses have been against bottom-of-the-division types. They'll probably beat PIT but then lose to the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be tied at the half, Pats make adjustments, Steelers don’t. Bellichick outcoaches Tomlin for the 100th time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Houston is riding on a wave of dumb luck and questionable performances by the opponent. It's not sustainable, but I'll take it - and I'll fully expect a bomb in Houston during the 2nd round vs New England. So, sorry in advance - Houston gonna get that bye, and then lose to NE.

tom cody Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 The Patriots are the Patriots so I expect them to do enough to get the 1st round bye. Probably be the #2 seed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBLIII Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Very possible but with KC loss even #1 seed is not out of the question as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gannon12 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The rest of the AFC east has been playing up to code. It’s like they do this on purpose. They win the division till Brady hangs em up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
