Playoffs ( early commentary)

[djp14150]

 

Buffalo clinches the division by beating Miami and any 2 of BUF W or MIA L. They would be up by 3 games with 3 to 392 to p,ay or up by 2 with 1 to play.

 

 Baltimore at Cincinnati to close the season. Baltimore one first meeting. After H2H, Baltimore will have a better division record or thry are tied, Baltimore would have the better common game record because  non common games is 2-1 CIN vs 1-2 BAL. Cincinati needs to be tied or ahead of Baltimore heading into the week 18 game

 

Tennessee at Jacksonville for week 18. Right now Jacksonville is 2 games behind. If they can pick up one game over the next 3 weeks could make that game a winner gets the division game. They both play Dallas and houstonsnd each play a WC contender with tenn at chargers and jags at jets.

 

KC magic number is now 1.  If Wilson didn’t get injured I think KC loses that game.

Chargers win against Miami puts them into the WC battle.

 

the WC battle seems to be CIN/BAL div loser and then 2 of MIA, NE, jets, chargers, JAX/TEN at 9-8 could be in the hunt too. 

 

Minnesota and niners look like they will win their division. Minnesota magic number is 1.

 

someone must win the nfc south even  if they may try and not.  Atlanta said they were going to start a rookie QB. Surprising givrn thry are 2 game out of division lead. Atlanta snd Carolina are behind by 1 and both play TB over the rest of the schedule.

Dallas and Philadelphia look to be a WC and a division winner.

 

it looks like it’s WAS, giants, SEA, DET in the battle for  the last two WC spots. A few current 8 loss teams have an outside shot if they win out and get to 9-8. Tampa bay finishing 9-8 out of the division lead could get one too.
