LA vs Cincy

We end up with 2 home games



I actually think a "Freezer Bowl " rematch in the AFCCG is not that unlikely.   The Chargers could beat the Chiefs. Dan Fouts sucked in 59 below wind chill and he sucked as a broadcster. I don't think he ever got over the loss to Cinci that day.

My first round looks like this (based entirely on predictions, not hope of losses for a team like KC):

Jets @ Bengals
Rats @ Bills
Chargers @ Jags

So, my final four would be: 

Jags @ Bengals 
Bills @ KC

Should the unthinkable happen (damn, they are so lucky) and either Dumpster Fire Denver beats KC, or The Fighting Josh McDaniels beat them, it would look like this:

Jets @ Bills (would actually be a good game)
Rats @ KC (llaugher)
Charges @ Jags

And my final four in that scenario would be:

Jags @ Bengals
KC @ Bills

I like that one, too.

Yep ThumbsUp


RE: Your Final Four AFC Teams ??? - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 12-27-2022

I am in the camp that says: 


Chargers at Chiefs 
Bills at Bengals (or Bengals at Bills) 


RE: Your Final Four AFC Teams ??? - Science Friction - 12-27-2022

I have the feeling that we all may become huge Chargers' fans for a day, late next month. I may be a Nostradumbass for saying so, but just have a feeling...

Wildcard Round:

Dolphins @ Bengals
Ravens @ Bills
Chargers @ Jaguars

Divisional  Round:

Bills @ Bengals
Chargers @ Chiefs

Just switch Chiefs#3 and Bills#1, with Conference Round Bills vs Bengals in Buffalo.

Never a bad way to go, that would be ideal for us and for the Jags to make it that far. I don't see the Jags beating us in our place.


RE: Your Final Four AFC Teams ??? - Bengalholic - 12-27-2022

In all 3 Bengals AFCCG victories, they had also beaten their opponent in the regular season. They've already beaten the Chiefs, so a win over the Bills would cover both possible matchups. and all but guarantee... Ninja

RE: Your Final Four AFC Teams ??? - grampahol - 12-27-2022

Personally I kind of hope the Titans suddenly get right for the last 2 games..although they probably won't which is why I hope they do..  I'd love to beat them into the ground again and give Henry exactly 4 yards..  Tongue

Lot of different scenarios are still possible that you can play around with.   I'm gonna say(hope) that the Bengals win out and grab the #2 seed.  I see KC as #1 ,  Buffalo as #3 ,  Jacksonville #4  ,  LA Chargers #5 ,  Baltimore #6 , and Miami #7 .

That's my Final Four .   ^^^^^

 What would be interesting is if the Chargers dropped a game(say, to the Rams), then they could slide to #6 and have  to travel to Buffalo instead of Jacksonville. That could send the Ravens to Jacksonville, for a rematch of that thriller a few weeks ago. I could see the Chargers having a shot at upsetting the Bills, which could set up a potential divisional round of  Ravens/Jags @ Bengals  and Chargers @ Chiefs .  But that's more unlikely than the one I predicted above.

Who do you have for your Final Four AFC teams left standing?

I rhink Chiefs would prefer Jacksonville, 2 games this year with Chargers have been epic

Doubt if they want any part of Chargers , Part III. I hope(and think) that is exactly what they'll get.


RE: Your Final Four AFC Teams ??? - rfaulk34 - 12-27-2022

You're all gonna love this one. I just did the playoff machine on ESPN and this is what i came up with after making my picks for wks 17 and 18. 

1. Bengals
2. Bills
3. Chiefs
4. Jags
5. Chargers
6. Ravens
7. Steelers

WC round
------------
1. Bengals bye.
7. Steelers @ 2. Bills
6. Ravens @ 3. Chiefs
5. Chargers @ 4. Jags

Divisional round  (my final 4)
-------------------
5. Chargers @ 1. Bengals
3. Chiefs @ 2. Bills

AFCCG
---------
2. Bills @ 1. Bengals

I have the Steelers winning out. Bengals winning out. Chargers winning out. Jags winning out. Ravens losing out. Dolphins losing out. Titans losing out. Pats splitting. Jets splitting. Bills splitting. Chiefs splitting. 

In my scenario, the Jets would have to win out to get the #7 seed. @Seattle @Miami. The question is Mike White's status.
The Dolphins only have to win 1 more game to clinch the #7 seed. @Patriots vs.Jets. The question is Tua's status. 

Don't kill me for the Steelers thing. They're at the Ravens this week and Lamar's status will be huge for the outcome of that game and they finish at home against the Browns. Things are actually set up pretty well for them to make the playoffs (spit!!), where they will get smashed like last year (smile).  

Going back to the WC round of the playoffs, the Jags could beat the Chargers at home but that would not change what came after other than it would be the Jags travelling to Cincinnati. 


Just for shitz and giggz, here is how it turned out in the NFC. 

1. Eagles
2. Minny
3. 49ers
4. Panthers
5. Cowboys
6. Giants
7. Seahawks

P.S. If KC beats the Raiders in wk 18 (i had them losing), that would make the Bengals the #2 seed and Pitt would have to travel here for the WC round.

Definitely possible and would love it honestly. I like our chances of beating the Bills if we beat them in a tight one Monday night.

Burrow is always better the 2nd time he faces a Defense in the same season. I do love this scenario maybe even more than Wedge's.


RE: Your Final Four AFC Teams ??? - rfaulk34 - 12-27-2022

This is my alternate reality where KC hangs on to the #1 seed. 

1. Chiefs
2. Bengals
3. Bills 
4. Jags
5. Chargers
6. Ravens
7. Steelers

WC round:
1. Chiefs bye
7. Steelers @ 2. Bengals
6. Ravens @ 3. Bills
5. Chargers @ 4. Jags
---------------------------

Divisional round:
5. Chargers @ 1. Chiefs
3. Bills @ 2. Bengals
-------------------------

AFCCG:
5. Chargers @ 2. Bengals


RE: Your Final Four AFC Teams ??? - Science Friction - 12-27-2022

Yep. I was just playing around with the simulator. A bunch of grown ass men(me included) playing with simulators is kinda sad but here we are. lol

1. We win out AND KC wins out .

2. Dolphins lose @ NE AND at home to the Jets.

3. Jets lose @ Seattle

4. NE loses @ Buffalo

5. Steelers win out (@ Ravens and home vs Clev.)


If all of the above happen.... We host the Steelers in the WC round !!!!


RE: Your Final Four AFC Teams ??? - IcoHolic - 12-28-2022

I don't want the Chargers, just because of the Burrow vs Herbert nonsense.. the lead up to that game would be super annoying.
