If the Steelers go 11-5 is there anyway they can miss the playoffs? Imagine taking the North and knocking them out!!!

Nope they already clinched. I think it is good to have them in the playoffs, probably an easier task than whoever would replace them anyway. I'd say at best they are the 8th best team in the AFC right now and could even be behind the Raiders, Patriots and Texans.

My hope for this week is that we beat the Jets, the Colts beat the Steelers, and the Raiders beat the Dolphins. I think all 3 of those are reasonable.

Giants beating the Ravens is better than Raiders beating the Fins

Yeah, but I give the Giants about a 5% chance in that game. I give the Raiders like a 25% chance to beat the Dolphins.

This would be the perfect situation.

We find out Saturday with a raiders win that we would clinch with a jets win.  Then we root for the colts to beat the steelers to give us a shot at the Division the following Sunday!

Couldn't have imagined being in this position 5 weeks ago!!!

LETS GO RAIDERS. Give me a day after present PLEASE. Mariota Magic one more time...

We need the ravens to lose too, right? If they win out and we lose one they’d push us out wouldn’t they?

Can all 3 from our Division make it in?

Yes

 

We would need Indy or Miami to lose. Use this if you’re confused.

Tennessee could also lose I believe. We have that tiebreaker as well.

They beat us in multi-team team tiebreakers so no we'd lose out to them. We can't have it be between us, Miami, Tennessee and Baltimore we're 4th in that. If it was just us and Tennessee sure but that ain't happening.

Multi-team comes before head to head? That’s stupid!

[candyman93]

Thomas laid it out.

 

There’s no real point in worrying about Tennessee.

If their are Multiple teams with the same record, h2h isn’t used

LOL

Thats actually really stupid. We beat both Tennessee and Indy head to head. That should absolutely matter, as it should with Baltimore beating us twice. The whole division record and multiple team tiebreaker coming before head to head is dumb...See: The NFC East, as well as us sweeping the AFC South.
