Pittsburgh and Cleveland both play each so someone will get a win. If we don’t win the North and go 9-8 I don’t see us getting a wildcard spot. The Titans already have 10 wins and the Clots play the Jags week 18 think they win that gets them to 10. A Patriots win vs. the Jags gets them 10 wins and the Bills play the Falcons and Jets so if they go 1-1 that’s 10. That would leave one wild card spot and if a team like the Chargers goes 1-1 they would get the last wildcard because they beat us head to head. Basically win the Division or bust the way I see it.
I was playing with the generator yesterday and found a couple scenarios where the Bengals can get in as a wildcard with a 9-8 record.
It's possible. Hardly anyone in the AFC is playing any cupcakes these next 2 weeks.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
