Pats have Colts this week then Bills the week after. They could go 2-0 in those games.
Titans have Steelers and 49ers. They also might be able to go 2-0.
Even if the Pats and Titans go 0-2 over the next two games and end up 2 games behind the Chiefs by the time the Chiefs play the Bengals, Chiefs may still not have the 1 seed locked up due to tiebreakers (Titans beat them, Pats beat Titans), and as such the Bengals game could be a clincher.
I'm not trying to say I'm Nostradamus here, but I think the Pats might lose both those games and the Titans might as well. Pitt sucks but the NFL will want the pig to have a big final home game sendoff. Maybe a Chicago-style shit show flag on the Titans that gives pitt the advantage? Who knows, but I just have a feeling that the Chiefs may not be as desperate as the Bengals.
I think if the Bengals beat Denver and Baltimore, they will be really up to show they belong and beat the Chiefs. First up, beat Denver.
