Playoff Scenario in AFC

Seed 1 = Tenn (13-2) - get 1st round bye / will rest starters vs Indy

Seed 2 = Pitt (11-4) - get 1st round bye / will rest starters vs Clev. (Pitt = 5-0 in division)

Seed 3 = MIA (10-5)

* Need to beat Jets this week to advance to 11-5

* Even IF NE wins / Miami has a better conference record at 7-4 over NE - who is 6-5

* IF Miami beat the Jets and Ravens beat Jax- they will HOST the Ravens in the playoffs - round 1

Seed 4 = Denver (8-7) - they have to beat San Diego to make it to the playoffs

* IF SD wins - they become the #4 seed because they have a better division record at (4-1)

keep in mind - the first time these 2 teams met - was the Ed Hochuli debacle (Denver won 39-38)

Seed 5 = Indy (11-4) / can rest players vs Tenn / cannot improve position

Seed 6 = Ravens (10-5)

* Need to beat Jax to advance to (11-5) and secure the 6th seed

* IF NE wins as well as MIA - Ravens win 6th seed over NE because of better conference record (7-4 vs. 6-5)

* IF NE and Jets win and the Ravens lose - NE will win division and Jets will take over the 6th seed because the Jets will have a better conference record than the Ravens

Therefore!!!

1 - Ravens NEED to beat Jax

2- IF Miami wins they advance to 11-5 and Ravens will travel to MIA for 1st round of playoffs

3- IF Jets win and NE lose - Ravens will go to NY Jets - because Jets will have better conference record and better division record over NE

4- IF NE wins and MIA lose - Ravens travel to NE

Ravens Fans want:

1- Ravens to win over Jax

2- Miami to win over Jets

3- NE to lose vs Bills

4- and cheer for whoever you think has a better opportunity to beat the Colts (SD or Denver)

5 - Tenn / Pitt / Indy games - a non issue

and with ALL THAT being said…
