Playoff Picture Going Into Week 17

[StealthShot]

Jets playoffs are going to be hard to pull of but there's 2 ways they can get in:

1) Jets win, Bengals loss, Titans Loss, Broncos Loss

2) Jets win, Bengals loss, Titans Loss, Raiders Loss

The Jets pulling out a win vs the Dolphins in Miami will be a tough game but I see them pulling through to get it done. Ground an pound all game and not Sanchez throwing the ball more then 15 times gets the job done.

Bengals losing to the Ravens is a very good possibility as well, the Ravens win the game they get a 1st round bye and they sure as hell will be playing to get that done.

Titans losing to the Texans is a tricky call here it can go either way here. The Texans can try scheming new plays for the offense to get better for the playoffs and see if Yates is able to make plays when he needs to. They can also try playing Delhomme or Garcia to see what they have else to go along with Yates if he can get it done in the playoffs. The Titans look like they have a good shot at winning this game but let's see if the Texans want to knock out a divisional opponent, I hope so.

The AFC west games as well play a roll in the Jets making the playoffs or not. Orton and the Chiefs will surely want to play hard this game even though their season is done, revenge at the Broncos will be sweet in the eyes of Orton.

The Raiders vs the Chargers is another toss up game from the look of it now. Rivers and his sourpuss attitude seems like the player that will not give his all in this type of game so I don't see him giving 100% out there. The way the Chargers win this is the mistake by the Raiders if they make the ones that they always seem to make the Chargers can pull off this upset.

 

[Houston]

A Bengals win shuts it all down.

 

[Youk]

May the power of Ray Rice compel you.

The three official Titans scenarios (all need a win over HOU):

CIN L + NYJ W + OAK L or tie
CIN L + NYJ W + DEN L or tie
CIN L + NYJ L or tie + OAK W + DEN W

Unlikely, but definitely possible.

From Yahoo Sports:

The Raiders are currently the No. 7 seed, and the following is what needs to occur for the Raiders to secure the 2nd wildcard spot and 6th seed:

7. Oakland Raiders (8-7)
Lead the Titans and Jets for the No. 7 seed due to strength of victory (53-66 vs. 45-75 and 47-73, respectively). Would clinch the West and No. 4 seed with a win and a Broncos loss. Would clinch the No. 6 seed with a win and a Bengals loss and either/both a Titans loss and/or Jets win.

How awesome is it that Kyle Orton will have a shot to knock the team that cut him out of the playoffs?

If the Jets lose in either scenario, the Titans would still make the playoffs, correct?

I believe you had the same kind of comment before week 1... then again before week 7.

Keep talking that ish, Ravens will keep showing up on the field.

No, cause they it would leave the Bengals as the only other 9-7 team with us and they hold the head-to-head tiebreaker. Three-way tie is the only way TEN can get in.

Gotta love the fact we control our own destiny, even if it is going to be a tough ass game against Baltimore. I said a month ago that if the season came down to week 17 vs Baltimore, I would go to the game...so definitely picking up tickets to the game tomorrow. It's gunna be rockin in the Jungle!

Same here. If on September 1st, you're told your team has the opportunity to get to the post-season by winning their week 17 game, everyone signs up for that.

Now just gotta get it done.

Especially this team. Like I've said my realistic expectations before the season was 6 wins. How can I expect this from a team with a rookie QB, new offensive coordinator, losing Jonathan Joseph etc. Now we're on the verge of a 10 win season and the playoffs if we win Sunday

Fun fact for Houston.

According to him, right now the Texans are the #2 seed because Ravens/Steelers have not clinched their division yet. But there is no way possible the Texans can actually get the #2 seed regardless of what happens in week 17.

To be fair, he's never been in this kind of position so he doesn't understand this playoff stuff at all.

No. They longer have a tied record, keep being dumb.
