My Play-off Prediction

[SuperSize]

Okay, after some review of the current standings & schedules, I would like to make my prediction as to which teams get into the AFC play-offs.

Baltimore, currently 9-5, loses to Dallas & beats Jax to finish 10-6, 8-4 in the conference.
NY Jets, currently 9-5, loses to Seattle & loses to Miami to finish 9-7, 7-5 in the conference.
Denver, currently 8-6, beats Buffalo & loses to SD to finish 9-7, 6-6 in the conference.
Miami, currently 9-5, beats KC & beats NYJ to finish 11-5, 8-4 in the conference.
New England, currently 9-5, beats Arizona & beats Buffalo to finish 11-5 in the conference.
San Diego, currently 6-8, loses to TB & beats Denver to finish 7-9, 7-5 in the conference.

Under this scenario, Denver wins the West & SD is eliminated. Denver would get the 4th seed. Miami (11-5) would win the East & the 3rd seed over NE (11-5) by virtue of a better conference record (8-4 vs. 7-5) because they split their head-to-head. New England would then claim the 2nd Wildcard & 6th seed over Baltimore because of a better overall record (11-5 vs. 10-6).

That leaves us the following for Wildcard weekend:

Colts @ Broncos
Cheatriots @ Dolphins


Any other opinions, or corrections if I missed something?

I say if Colts have to go to Denver, The Donkos come up with an amazing upset led by Cutler's 4 tds. Manning and Colts suck in road playoff games, especially in not so nice weather.

Just some chick that followed me home from the mall. Since I can't get rid of her, my wife put her to work cleaning the house.

You probably have seen more Bronco games than I have, but from what I've seen the Broncos would have trouble with the Browns. Peyton and company would really have to self destruct to lose to Denver.....IMHO.

Re: My Play-off Prediction

If your predictions are correct, I fear the wildcards more than the division winners.

Steelers over Panthers in XLIII

That is what I am talking about. Simple. Brutal. Effective.

Re: My Play-off Prediction

I would really like to see SD end up making the playoffs and playing the Colts in the first round of the playoffs. They always seem to give the Colts more than they can handle.

I want the Colts gone, too, but PLEASE don't let the SD fans have any reason to think they have any hope for anything but their tradition of lameness. Can't describe how pathetic those fans are.

If this is the scenario, than I would rather we be the second seed so we can play miami instead of the colts in the first round.

Re: My Play-off Prediction

Well, Ravens beat Dallas last night, so it might be Ratbirds instead of Cheaters in your scenario.

Bottom line still holds, though: Steelers win 3 straight and hoist the 6th Lombardi.
