If they lose to the WFT and to the Browns and we lose to the Saints, they win the tiebreaker due to strength of victory.

We need them to lose to Buffalo.

Or it looks like maybe we win the strength of victory tiebreaker if they lose to the Bengals.

This is what I've got. Make sure to place your bets now. You can thank me later.

You've got Pitt losing out? :-)

You must have been drinking pretty hard when you did this. :-)

The Dupree injury really derailed their season. And the Lions respond to the new coach.

there would be a lot of folks losing jobs if this scenario plays out lol.....

EDIT: Couldn't find a way to squeeze the Jets and Jags in either? JK....both are out

I'm really rooting for the WFT, win that div!! They'll def beat Pit, & 'cuz Chiefs it won't affect the try for bye.
I think Pit also loses one to either Buf or Ind.

I’ll have to take a mulligan on the Cardinals. They have fallen off the map.

Bump for all your tie breaking scenario explorations.
[Reply]

A very possible tie breaker is common opponents which are the Broncos, Texans, Ravens, and Bills. So a loss to the Bills all but guarantees the Chiefs get the bye if the win their two AFC games. In that scenario the Chiefs would have to go 13-3 to lose the bye.

Here’s where the Saints game is still very important. It helps our strength of victory a lot if we can beat them, and that could very easily wind up being the tiebreaker.

If you lose to the Saints, you root for Miami, LAC, and Atlanta to win all their other games and improve the Chiefs SOV.
[Reply]

Yep.

The most important game left is the Steelers against Buffalo. If Buffalo wins that game, we have the #1 pretty much tied up.

After that, the most important games are Chiefs/Saints and Steelers/Browns. If the Steelers lose to the Browns, that will drop their SOV a lot. If we beat the Saints, it raises ours.

When I watch Buffalo I just really feel like they’re a bad matchup for Pittsburgh. A QB who will stretch their defense out downfield and isn’t easy to bring down.

If they can score 24+ they should have a good chance.
[Reply]

Somebody said there's like a 70% chance of rain. That favors Buffalo because Pitt's running game just isn't very good.

Midgets do that.
