A win against patriots or jets puts us at 10 wins, can’t Steelers and Tennessee get to 11 and knock us out? The thing that’s probably been answered already is if the titans get to 11, that means they beat Houston twice, which means Houston would be 9-7 at best. That’s why it’s possible for just one win to make it. If Tennessee weren’t playing Houston twice (with Houston and Tennessee both at 5 losses), then we’d need more help. We can also clinch, if I’m not mistaken, with all three being losses if..... Tennessee loses 2 Oakland loses 1 cleveland loses 1 So at this point, I would (to not worry), root for Baltimore to need week 17 against Cleveland. Tennessee probably loses 2 (Hou, NO, Hou) And Oakland to lose one of I think Jax, Chargers, Broncos (any one works). So, even if we lose out, it’s going to be tough to miss at this point. We stacked enough wins early on to even “back in” to the playoffs. Edit: I think we are above the colts in this scenario as well, even if they win out.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2019/12/8/21002008/how-the-buffalo-bills-can-clinch-a-playoff-spot-in-week-15 the meat of the story Thanks to the Tennessee Titans’ win (8-5) and the Houston Texans’ loss (8-5) in Week 14, it has set up the AFC South death match Buffalo was hoping for. If the Titans win out, beating the Texans twice in the process, a ten-win Buffalo will pass a seven-loss Houston for the Wild Card spot. If the Texans beat the Titans in one of those games, the ten-win Bills are ahead of Tennessee. Buffalo’s win would also come against the Pittsburgh Steelers, currently 8-5, and Buffalo would hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over them at a hypothetical 10-6. IF you want to go even further .... https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2019/12/8/21002014/how-the-buffalo-bills-can-still-win-the-afc-east-new-england-patriots How the Buffalo Bills can still win the AFC East We’ve done the math. If the Bills lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15, the Bills can still win the division if the Patriots lose to the Dolphins in Week 17 and Buffalo wins in Weeks 16 (Patriots) and 17 (New York Jets). The Bills can’t be eliminated from the AFC East race before Week 16, so that game is going to have implications one way or the other when Buffalo travels to Massachusetts.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 NFL Playoff Projection: Could Deshaun Watson and Texans miss the playoffs https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-playoff-projection-could-deshaun-watson-and-texans-miss-the-playoffs-151609349.html The Houston Texans’ loss to the Denver Broncos was shocking because of the way they got dominated. They were down 38-3 at home to a 5-8 Broncos team with rookie quarterback Drew Lock. No matter the margin, any loss to the Broncos was costly. There was no bigger loss by an NFL team in Week 14 as it pertains to the playoff picture. Not even close. The Texans are in danger of losing the AFC South, and even a wild-card spot in a weak conference isn’t assured anymore. The Titans take over the Texans’ spot atop the division in this week’s playoff projection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Titans are playing lights out and I see them winning that division. No one wants to play them in the playoffs(aside from Baltimore obviously) and they’re firing on all cylinders. Each phase is on point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
