So I skipped this last week. Sue me. :-)
- Colts, 9-4
- Ravens, 9-4
- Jets, Dolphins, Pats, 8-5 (Note: One of these teams will win the AFC East and thus not take a wild card spot)
Pretty easy at this point honestly. The Colts control their own destiny and are very close to clinching. Stampede Blue explains:
1 Colts win + 1 Pats loss
or
1 Colts win + 2 Ravens losses
or
2 Colts wins
or
2 losses by any 2 of Jets, Pats, Fins
Like I said, easy. You have to assume the Colts will beat the Lions, so we just need them to also beat the Jags, making the Titans game and what other teams do irrelevant. In case they drop both those two, the Pats won’t lose this week against the Raiders, but both the Cards (especially) and Bills are loseable games for them. The Jets and Dolphins also have chances to lose, and we’re helped by the fact they play each other the last game of the seaon. So there’s plenty of contigencies. Basically we Colts fans are cheering against the Ravens and/or the AFC East.
