Scott7975 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Should have moved the Pats/Miami game. At least that one has playoff implications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been protected by CBS. It is their number one lead game next week, with Nantz and Romo Ian Eagle and Charles Davis calling it. [EDIT: Nantz and Romo were actually assigned to the late game between Minnesota and GB.] Edited December 26, 2022 by chongli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheektowaga Chad Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Rams chargers was the better game unless Lamar Jackson is back for the ravens Steelers are a bad team that plays a very boring style Edited December 26, 2022 by Cheektowaga Chad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazinBill Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Yeah - this is awful but unfortunately the Steelers may squeeze In the playoffs winning out and getting some help from others- very unlikely yes but given those circumstances this game means more- Chargers are pretty much a lock to take the 6th seed- maybe...

They might even get the 5th, since if Baltimore loses to Cincy in Week 18, the Chargers and Ravens would be tied, but the Chargers would have the better conference record. 54 minutes ago, Billznut said: I think Baltimore being flexed into next Sundays game pretty much solidifies that the final Sunday night game will be Jax/Tenn. I had thought Cinn/Balt would get that final Sunday night game. But no way they will give Baltimore the two final Sunday night games. Not necessarily. if Jax wins next week against Houston, and Tennessee loses to Dallas, Jax would clinch the divsion, since even with a loss in Week 18 to Tennessee, they would still have a better conference record (head to head and divsion record would be identical). Therefore, it still could be Baltimore and Cincy on SNF in Week 18 (or some other teams too).

They are 3-2 in their division, and would have the tie breaker if they beat Jax week 18. Week 17 means nothing about who wins the Afc south. It's all about week 18, and for that reason, it will be the flexed game. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Part of me would love to see Jacksonville surpass Tennessee for the AFCS. I just hate the Titans. But OTOH I'm not sure I want to see Jacksonville in the tournament. The Titans would be a much easier game for the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimore vs cincy might make more sense on SNF since cincy plays on MNF this week. Jax vs Ten goes on Saturday. I think the saturday games are on ABC as well as ESPN so same audience size as NBC. Either works. Edited December 27, 2022 by wagon127 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my tally, Steelers are going to need both the Dolphins and Jets to lose this week, in order to still have playoff hopes by Sunday night.

Thinking about it, I believe I'm right in saying the Steelers have an outside chance if the Dolphins lose but Jets win at the weekend? But that's only if the Jets and Dolphins play out a tie in week 18; then both teams will be on 8-8-1, and the Steelers can leapfrog by winning out.
