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
I’m honesty fine with not winning the division as long as we stay in 5th place and jags stay 4 cuz I wanna rematch with them and then I feel Miami is about to go on a run after they bye and may overtake the chiefs at 1 if we beat the jags in the wild card then we can potentially face the dolphins in the divisional game I like our chances at beating them then the chiefs and we could hopefully be in the afc championship game I might be crazy cuz I have little faith in this team to beat the browns with a rookie qb we leak yards like crazy and we cannot get off the field on 3rd down
