1. BUF over SF

 

2a. PIT over NE

2b. DEN over NYJ

3a. CIN over BAL

3b. CLE over IND

4. STL over MIA

 

Unfortunately, it doesnt look like we will get much help in the wildcard chase this upcoming week. PHI handed BAL the game this week, as Im not overly impressed with BAL. I could see both NE and NYJ losing next week, with NE more likely to lose than NYJ. With a game to play vs. MIA, we control our destiny with regards to MIA since we are both 6-5.

 

BUF being 0-3 in DIV games is awful, but there is a chance every team in the AFC East could go 3-3, that is go 1-1 against each of the other 3 teams. NE and MIA are 1-1 vs each other and NYJ and NE are 1-1 vs each other. If BUF wins their remaining 3 DIV games they would have split with each of the AFC east teams. The only remaining AFC east game not involving BUF is NYJ @ MIA on the last week of the season. If all the teams went 1-1 in the AFC east against the other opponets this would be huge with regards to tie break implications as the deciding tie break would be record in common games. That is, how BUF did against the AFC and NFC west. Right now BUF is 5-1, NE is 5-1, MIA is 4-1, and NYJ is 3-2. Thus, it is still possible for BUF to have some division title tie breakers in their favor if all AFC east teams go split their games.

 

I think IND will have one of the wildcard spots locked up. Their remaining games are against CLE, CIN, DET, JAX and TEN. They go 4-1 over there last five games easy. BAL has to play CIN, WAS, PIT, DAL and JAX. They go 2-3 over their last 5 for a 9-7 record. That leaves all of the the AFC east teams battling for two playoff spots.

For the Wildcard: the second tiebreaker for teams in the same division is conference record.
