I think if the Colts win out they will get the last WC spot. That would mean they beat the Titans. I think Baltimore drops at least one more. The Dolphins have all the appearance of an 8-8 team, they aren't making 10 wins and the Colts beat them head to head.

One loss though and I can't see it happening. Would need a whole lot of help then

I think the Ravens will win two of their last three, ending up at 9-7, and winning the division, because...

The Steelers are not going to right the ship. They will lose two of their last three and end up at 8-7-1.

Indy should win against NYG and if they win one of the Dallas/Tennessee combo, will end up at 9-7. If it's only one though, it needs to be the Titans game, because Tennessee will not lose to either the Giants or Skins, so they could end up at 10-6, with that third wild-card spot.

Miami could also end up 10-6. I don't see the Bills or Jags beating them, but I imagine that Minnesota will give them a game. I wish the Vikings were not playing tonight. That extra day of rest gives the Fins more advantage than they deserve, this late in the season.

So, as has been mentioned multiple times, for a playoff spot, it will likely come down to that week 17 game in Tennessee. I think that at this point in the season, the Colts are a better team than the Titans, but being on the road will make it tough.

Here's to beating the Cowpokes, crushing the Giants, and going into Tennessee on the 30th just needing a win to secure the #6 seed. Then they can go back to Houston or into Baltimore with a puncher's chance to advance.

Agree, I don't see this Steelers team beating the Patriots or the Saints. We don't fully control our own destiny, but it looks like there is a scenario where we bump the Steelers for the 6 seed.

And there are few things I would like better.

Well, maybe getting a chance to crush the Cheatriots in the playoffs, but other than that.

Hey, a guy can dream, right?

There have been lots of missed opportunities all year, going back to week one. Bengals, Eagles, Jax, Houston game #1 just making the first down at the end. Any one of those close games changing to a win/tie would make a huge difference.

But such is the life of the NFL. All teams have those games. The good ones win them.

Making the playoffs would be great. However I think most are satisfied so far that the team is on the right track and the fact they are even in the playoff hunt this late in the season is about as good as we could hope for this year. Especially after starting 1-5. I think most of us felt this was a 10 win team max and they are on track for the upper end of those projections so far.

A little over a month ago, I said that the 2 games left on the Colts' schedule that caused me the most concern were the ones against the Cowboys and the Texans.

The game that caused me the least concern was the one against the Jaguars.

Somehow the Colts managed to beat the 2 good teams, and screw it up against the bad team.


8-6 overall, heading into the homestretch ........
