My God, the NFC South is awful.  We have two guaranteed wins coming up against Carolina and ATL…Tampa is very beatable too

 

Agree. The way I see our season there are three all but certs on the schedule:

 

Jets

Falcons

Panthers

 

Then three toughies:

 

Patriots

Buccs

Patriots

 

10-7 probably gets us in as a wildcard. 11-6 (split with NE) definitely means a wildcard (they'd have the tiebreak on us via conference record so win the division). 

 

To get in as a division winner I suspect we either have to sweep New England OR split with them and beat Tampa.

I thought if we split with NE and end up in a tie with them, (assuming we beat the Jets), we would win the division (due to their loss to Miami).  It is division record not conference record, that is used as the tiebreaker for the division.

Yea. Ignore my post you are right. For some reason in my head their in conference loss was Houston. Of course it was Miami. They pulled the Houston game out.
