The second easiest way is if the Browns lose to pitt (Pig Ben's last home game ought to have some fishy officiating), and Ravens lose to Rams, Bengals win AFC North with win the next week at Cleveland OR a loss by pitt to that Ratbirds.
After that it gets pretty convoluted.
The best case scenario is that the Bengals beat KC and then Browns are eliminated and put half their team on IR and have their bags packed. Bengals could get up early and play backups 2nd half. Chiefs could actually lose at Denver traveling back to an altitude game, costing them the #1 overall seed. Bengals would also need Titans to lose to either Fins or Texans, both which have suddenly found life.
Most likely scenario is that the Browns are eliminated by steelers and Bengals clinch AFC North beating them in week 18, but I really think Bengals will beat the Chiefs. I am so pumped for that game.
I just know if Browns win and Bengals lose we will get moved to final game week 18. I'd like to have a wildcard clinched before we play that game. That would be quite a gut punch to be eliminated by Browns in final game of the regular season. A loss like that under those circumstances could set the franchise back for years just like the Steelers loss did.
