Assuming JAX defeats IND... Do you intentionally tie with LAC (assuming they also agree)?

[Trojan]

Assuming good faith from the Chargers, would you intentionally tie?

With a Ravens win and Jags win, the Raiders are in regardless. They don’t need to win or tie.

[#1RAIDER FAN]

Nope 

 

also if ravens win and jaguars win, don’t the Raiders get in even with a loss?

[Trojan]

In the exercise assume the Steelers win so there is risk. I would prefer to have Raiders and Baltimore as well.

Yes, if the Colts win and the Raves lose, I just want to get in. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Under no circumstance do you intentionally try to lose tonight because then you're the 7th seed and guaranteed to play every game on the road.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we're "win and we're in" regardless of what else happened, right? 

 

If we lose, what needs to happen?  Can anyone explain this?

If Steelers beat Ravens we need to tie or beat the Chargers (PIT would make playoffs, unless we tie -- I think there is some weird path of Colts still making it too?).

We lock playoffs if Baltimore wins this OT game before we take the field. Baltimore makes it if we beat LAC after they beat PIT.

Not 100% sure, but that's the assumption I am under right now.

Thank you. That said.  IDGAF we need to handle our business.

I think the weird Colts path is BAL/PIT tie then we are locked regardless, but LAC loses to us and Colts back in... I think
