NFL Playoff Predictor

And let me add. GB makes it from the other side. I want a rematch where a **** RB won't give the game away.
 
Here's what the playoffs look like now.

Pats have clinched the #1 seed.
Broncos clinch #2 with wins vs Raiders or a Bengals loss

I am going to assume the Broncos win vs the Raiders so for all scenarios below it's 1 Pats and 2 Broncos

Steelers beat Bengals
Ravens beat Browns
Chargers beat Chiefs

3 Steelers vs 6 Chargers - Steelers would play Broncos with win
4 Colts vs 5 Bengals

--------------------------------------------------------

Steelers beat Bengals
Ravens beat Browns
Chiefs beat Chargers

3 Steelers vs 6 Ravens - Steelers play Broncos
4 Colts vs 5 Bengals

Takeaways
There does not appear to be a scenario where the Steelers and Bengals play 2 weeks in a row.
Steelers are 3 seed if they win - opponent depends on other games
Steelers are 5 seed if they lose - play At Colts no matter what.
Ravens need Chiefs to beat the Chargers or they are out.
 
So we'd rather play the Chargers than the Colts

that means we gotta win
 
Don't quote me that these scenarios above are 100%. Maybe there are scenarios where certain unrelated teams win or lose and it changes some tiebreakers or something, but these seem to be the most likely.

The Chiefs can also get in as the 6 seed in place of Houston if Houston loses to Jax.

I'm not afraid of the Colts, but i'd rather the home game that comes with the 3 seed. The 3 seed also sets the path through Denver which looks a lot better than going through NE right now.

I definitely agree. We want a home game, and then with a win... we want to go to Denver.

If we win on Sunday against the Bengals... I think we match up very well against the Texans (1st choice), Ravens (2nd choice) and Chargers (3rd choice).

I really like how this team is playing right now. If we make it in to play the cheats in NE... we should be a well-oiled battle-hardened machine. I can hear the words of the sage... when asked, What is best in life?" "Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women." LOL.

I for one, would LOVE to beat NE in NE!

Wait..... I'm thinking of the second to last time we played them haha (the only time they didnt rape us). That just makes my previous comment more sad

The Steelers have won 3 of the last 4 and 8 of the last 10 they have played against the Chargers. 22-9 all time against the Chargers. The Steelers, however, are 1-2 against the Chargers in the playoffs.
 
Indy appears to be locked into the number 4 spot. I can't see Indy or Cincy going into NE and winning.
 
Here is what I want to happen:

Steelers beat Bengals
Browns beat Ravens
Chiefs beat Chargers

3 Steelers vs 6 Houston - Steelers would play Broncos with win
4 Colts vs 5 Bengals
