I think it’s pretty clear, with how bad the AFC is this year that 10 wins is the target for a wildcard berth (9 wins may even get us there, but let’s not risk it). Here’s how we get to 10:
Must win games:
vs Skins
at Fish
vs Broncos
vs Jets
These are absolute must wins. We can not afford loses here. All 4 teams are at the bottom of league and quite frankly if we can’t beat all of them then we are not a playoff team. Assuming we take care of business, this gets us 4 wins.
50/50 games:
at Browns
at Steelers
both games will be toss-ups IMO. Both teams having mediocre years, but will be tough. If we can pull 1 win out of these 2 that gets us to 10 wins, BOOM!
Not likely:
at Cowgirls
at Pats
vs Ravens
These are the toughest remaining games left and don’t see us winning. If we take care of business above, we won’t need to win any of these games, but if we ***** the bed against any of the must win games we may be forced to win at least one of these games which would not be ideal.
