1) You have to beat chargers, currently a playoff team and tie breakers will matter. Need momentum going into the bye.
2) They then have two sets of 3 games. The must got 2-1 or better in each mini series, with some key must wins.
- Split, or sweep Steelers. Can’t lose both.
- beat broncos (another team with playoff aspirations, tiebreakers matter).
- unless they win out, the best game to drop would be cowboys.
I expect 9-8 will get you in (when the dust settles), if you beat chargers, broncos and Steelers 2x
not to be a Debbie downer but LAC is a way better team , they have a talented O Line and will pound the ball on them with Dobbins setting up Herbert perfectly to slice up our pathetic secondary and impotent pass rush. Not to mention better Coaches. I want a W but im now getting in that all too familiar feeling as a long time Bengals fan to just tank and get a high draft pick. The higher the pick the more likely Duke cant screw it up right?. I hate seeing Burrow looking like Andrew Luck Part II and they better stop putting him in if they get into a situation where no playoff path possible.
