I understand it's based on if we beat both the Cowboys and Chargers. It's still the better outcome. Giving the Steelers a 7th loss and having them give the Bengals a 7th loss is better than having both play each other at 8-6 next week and having one team go to 9-6 and the other at 8-7. If the Steelers go in 7-7 and beat the Bengals to have both teams go 8-7 is much better if we get both the Cowboys and Chargers to go to 9-6

That makes sense

We would want Denver to win so they can beat the Chiefs for the divisional crown. We then have the tiebreaker over the Chiefs, not the Broncos.

While technically not wrong that’s not realistic 

[Dr. Who]

I wish you all would come to consensus on who we want to win, so then I'd know the other team is the one that will prevail.

It's all rather droll.

Simply put, if the Bills can’t beat the Cowboys, Chargers, Patriots and Dolphins all in a row then they won’t win 4 playoff games in a row. This is them studying for the final test 

So every SB winner won 4 in a row throughout the season?

[Taro Nimbus]

Or.........we can just worry about the Bills and just have them win out.  Let everything else fall into place

Ball absolutely came out

[dma0034]

Not related to the game rn but I was listening to Vikings fan do play by play and he said the Vikings have the best defense in the league because they only allowed 1 TD in 4 games (played bad teams like Falcons, Bears, Saints). He kept saying until the Bengals started going down the field at will. He no longer thinks they have a top 5 defense lol

I would guess most, I'm curious what percentage has

Well that was quick.

This doesn’t make any sense mathematically.

 

Matchup of 8-7 teams don’t matter. Either way, there will be a 7 win team.

If Colts win today, they likely get a wildcard spot. Their schedule is easy. And Browns too.

 

That leaves 1 spot for several teams to fight over.

Would be nice if anything today could go our way.

So what college games are on that conflict today? Some random Doritos Bowl involving the 25th ranked team? 

sorry. I wasn’t clear. The reason there is NFL football is because there arent any college games.

Colts have:  Falcons Raiders Texans

 

Steelers have:  Bengals Seahawks Ravens

 

To me, it looks like the Colts have the easier schedule for sure.  So, it would be great for the Steelers to give them a loss today.

 

On the other hand, the Steelers have the Bengals (who I think will kill the Steelers next week), a very inconsistent Seahawks team, and a Ravens team that may be resting starters in the last week of the season depending on how things go.

 

So, all that said, I think it is still more likely for the Steelers to lose 2 of 3 rather than the Colts who I can definitely see winning 2 of 3.  So, for me, it's rooting for the Steelers all the way today.

 

EDIT:  For the record, the Colts are going to win this game easily today.

Eisen is getting better at play-by-play. Hope he has plans to do this full time. I think he’d be great!

that's irrelevant. you can't change the past. it wasn't dorsey throwing those interceptions that were game changers. the only thing you can do rather than looking back is look ahead and hope, as it has (the change to brady) already shown, that brady running the offense is what has helped win them some games as long as JA avoids the turnovers and hope they can win 4 more? regardless of when coach made the decision, it was made and proved to be the right decision. had he not done it, then you would have to believe he would be relieved of his HC duties at the end of the season, extension or no extension ?
