The three seed could lead to the Titans. Doubtful the four seed does. So at this point I’m fine with the four seed. In that scenario we get the Bills almost assuredly who don’t concern me.
However, the three seed and facing the Steelers would be my preferred path then the Patriots in the second round. Since I don’t really think the Texans are winning out and therefore their head to head victory won’t matter I will root for them tonight to get the Patriots to that two seed. [Reply]
I know Baltimore looks the best right now but I can’t get super excited about playing NE off of a bye. They’re just too well prepared in those situations, all situations. Meh.
Of course, the biggest thing to determine where I would wanna play is weather. Something we can’t predict right now accurately. [Reply]

I'm not going to concede we cant get a Bye just yet if the Pats lose tonight, they got us and Buffalo.
Baltimore still plays Buffalo and Pittsburgh. Still alot of season left and let's not pretend Jackson isnt getting hit more than any other QB in this league with as many carries as he gets too. Eventually it takes a toll. [Reply]
I don't think there is any path for us to get the 2 seed where we don't win out. Gotta take care of our business and let the rest fall where it will. [Reply]

We aren’t jumping the Patriots, even with a win against them. Even if they get to four losses, then the Bills could conceivably win the division at 13-3 and would get the bye week. But if both are 12-4, as well as us, then our head to head over the Patriots doesn’t come into play because the division tiebreaker is done first which would still go to the Patriots so our victory and same record wouldn’t matter anyways. Really the only hope for a bye week is two losses from Baltimore and tonight’s game doesn’t affect that. [Reply]

Not sure I understand this. If the Chiefs, Pats and Bills all wind up 12-4, and the Pats win the division tie breaker over the Bills, and we win the head to head over the Pats, how would that not give us a bye along with the Ravens (unless of course Houston finishes at 12-4 and they have the breaker over us).
And if a bye isn’t a possibility, when do we start thinking about resting banged up starters for the playoffs. The division is very close to being in hand. [Reply]
