NOT how many games do you think they will win but how many games do they NEED to win to make it to the post season.

I think they are going to have to go 6 of 8 if they want to make it into the playoffs. I was teetering on 5 but there are too many other factors involved and can see it going into a tiebreaker scenario with the records so close to one another. Looks like the Bills and Pats will be division winners and one wild card team if things continue down the same path,  which would leave one other team for wild card in my scenario. You would have the Chargers/Raiders/Chiefs to contend with and then obviously our division.

Unless I'm reading your post, you're stating there's only 2 WC spots which is wrong. I think 5 could be enough as long as those 5 include both LVR and LAC
