Who gets the AFC's 6 Seed?

[RandyMossIsBoss]

I know we already have our AFC WC race discussion thread, but I'd be curious to get a poll on this and see everyone's predictions. 

 

 

Steelers (7-5, current 6)

• at Cardinals (3-8-1)
• Bills (9-3)
• at Jets (4-8)
• at Ravens (10-2)

Titans (7-5)

• at Raiders (6-6)
• Texans (8-4)
• Saints (10-2)
• at Texans (8-4)

Colts (6-6)

• at Buccaneers (5-7)
• at Saints (10-2)
• Panthers (5-7)
• at Jaguars (4-8)

Raiders (6-6)

• Titans (7-5)
• Jaguars (4-8)
• at Chargers (4-8)
• at Broncos (4-8)

Bills (9-3, current 5)

• Ravens (10-2)
• at Steelers (7-5)
• at Patriots (10-2)
• Jets (4-8)

 

Relevant tiebreaker info:

• Head to Head
  • Steelers beat the Colts
  • Titans 1-1 vs Colts ---> Titans 2-2 in division w/ Texans 2x, Colts 3-2 division w/ Jags left.
  • Raiders beat the Colts
  • Bills beat the Titans
  • Titans and Raiders play this week
  • Bills and Steelers play in 2 weeks
• Conference record
  • Bills 6-2
  • Steelers: 6-3
  • Titans: 5-4
  • Raiders 4-4
  • Colts 5-6

Titans take the division 

Steelers & Texans beat Bills on breakers @ 10-6

[BayRaider]

Titans. They will beat the Raiders and Saints and split with the Texans. Saints will lose one more game and I don’t think that will be against the Niners. Brees is tremendous but on the road in the cold in December he isn’t the greatest, especially out of division (basically not Carolina). 

Steelers IMO lose to @ARI and @BAL putting them at 9-7. 

I do see the Bills finishing 1-3 but that still puts them at 10-6.

Steelers (7-5, current 6)

• at Cardinals (3-8-1)
• Bills (9-3)
• at Jets (4-8)
• at Ravens (10-2)

Titans (7-5)

• at Raiders (6-6)
• Texans (8-4)
• Saints (10-2)
• at Texans (8-4)

Colts (6-6)

• at Buccaneers (5-7)
• at Saints (10-2)
• Panthers (5-7)
• at Jaguars (4-8)

Raiders (6-6)

• Titans (7-5)
• Jaguars (4-8)
• at Chargers (4-8)
• at Broncos (4-8)

Bills (9-3, current 5)

• Ravens (10-2)
• at Steelers (7-5)
• at Patriots (10-2)
• Jets (4-8)

 

So, Bills 5 and STEELERS on the tie break, for me. I think...

[evilflamingo]

9-7 Steelers with they tiebreaker over Titans, only to be whooped in the WC game. Some weak teams here.

[Malfatron]

steelers right now

have the tb over tenn, and tenn has harder schedule

[Nightmare]

I’m confident the Bills will make it, even with that schedule. 1 win should be enough, but I think they can go at least 2-2 anyway. Just a solid football team.

If the Raiders can beat the Titans this weekend we’ll be right back in the mix, as we have the easiest schedule on paper. That’s a big ‘if’ though; I don’t see it happening with the way both teams have played the past few weeks.

I’ll go with Bills & Steelers.

Why aren’t Texans an option?

The Titans will get in after finishing 9-7. The rest will fall short.

Cleveland should also be listed considering the 6th seed will probably end up 9-7. It would be difficult since Tennessee owns the tiebreaker, but still possible.

If Pittsburgh loses 2, Tenn loses 2, Oakland loses 1, Colts lose 1 and Cleveland wins their last 4 then they make it as a 6th seed. All the head to heads will cancel each other out and it'll go by division and conference records where the Browns would be 5-1 in the AFCN and 8-4 in the AL Conference. Their division record would be the tie breaker. 

The hardest part is winning out in my opinion. Not too afraid of the Cincikucky or Phoenix but the ratbirds at home is going to be a serious test. It'll be in Cleveland so anything is possible.

If Bills beat Balt this week, Bills will be the #1 seed, not a WC team. Only if they win this week.

I mean yeah, I’d feel pretty good about their odds lol. Would also have to go to New England and win, but beating Baltimore would prove they could do it

I think people are (prematurely) giving them the division.
