Stallions Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Losing to the Steelers this Sunday puts our play-off hopes in jeopardy. They have the Jets & Ravens remaining on their schedule. A win over the Jets gives them 10 wins. And, the Ravens may rest their starters for the final game of the season. So, that basically puts our fate in the hands of the Texans & Titans. Tennessee is hot and the Texans just lost to the lowly Bronco’s at home. It would be great if Houston wins the division and the Titans finish 10-6 with the playoff tie-breaker in favor of the Bills. BUT, these teams play each other twice in the last 3 weeks of the season. A scenario could develop with the Titans winning the division and the Texans finishing 10-6. Would we have the tie breaker over Houston with mutual 10-6 records??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 And I actually feel pretty good about winning a wild card game this year even if we have to play on the road. With the exception of the Eagles game we have been in every loss. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penfield45 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Titans need to lose 1 out of the 3, and we need to win 1 out of the next 3 OR win next week vs Pittsburg and in there is a very good chance the titans go 11-5 and win out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes,largely because HOU lost to the Broncos today. Bills are in with one more win, period. 1 minute ago, Penfield45 said: Titans need to lose 1 out of the 3, and we need to win 1 out of the next 3 OR win next week vs Pittsburg and in there is a very good chance the titans go 11-5 and win out No, it doesn’t matter if the Titans win out. That would mean they sweep HOU as they play twice in last 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texans get to 10 wins by either: 1. beating titans 2x, lose other. outcome is they win division, as titans would have 7 losses 2. splitting with titans, winning other. they win division in this scenario too, as they would have better division record than titans. titans would assuming have 10 wins, and we beat them on head to head, if we win 1 more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
