If we lose to the Chargers, AND
-Broncos tie. Colts and Steelers win. OR
-Colts, Browns, Steelers all win or at least tie. OR
-Bengals, Colts, Texans, and Steelers all win. OR
-Colts, Texans, and Steelers win. Jaguars tie.
There are a few other scenarios that requires multiple crazy ties and stuff. But these seem reasonable and even likely. Scenario 2 is +793 on DraftKings right now.
What do you think Bill does when he’s no longer competing for the playoffs? (Remember, Brady never took a snap in his career where he was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs)
What do you think Kraft does when his team is the first team eliminated?
Are the ties required in this scenario?
If so, highly doubtful we see a bunch of tie games to break the Patriots this season
