Sadly in the NFL there can’t be teams that can both lose, but such is life in the NFL.

The three games that will affect our seeding this week are CIN vs BAL, PIT vs CLE, and TEN vs JAX. (If we lose then AZ vs HOU comes into play)

Now this is assuming Steelers win for the scenarios below (FYI: a CIN & BAL tie is the same as a CIN win)

CIN win over BAL:

Division wise: PIT jump to 1st, BAL drops to 2nd, CLE stays at 3rd, CIN stays at 4th.

If TEN beat JAX then we become 2nd seed

If JAX beat TEN then we become 3rd seed

BAL win over CIN:

Division wise nothing changes

BAL claim 2nd seed and PIT stays at 5th seed regardless of the outcome of TEN vs JAX.

However, if KC loses to PHI, then BAL moves to 1st seed & KC drops to 2nd seed.

If Steelers lose:

Givens:

PIT drops to 6th seed, unless HOU wins against AZ, then we drop to 7th seed

PIT also drops to 3rd in division

If CIN wins, then CLE takes 2nd seed and 1st in division.

If BAL wins, then CLE takes 5th seed and 2nd in division

    If Cincy loses and we beat them next week, I think they’re almost out.

    I think that’s what I’m rooting for.

    I think we’re more likely to be competing for a WC spot than the division.

    I also was hoping the Rats would beat the Browns last week too.

    These next two weeks are really important for us (obviously).

      0-4 in the division could be fatal for them.
