I don't think a single game went the way of the rooting guide, neither for the playoffs or the draft.

You are correct.  And if the Browns actually win tonight, we are tied for last place in the division.  Ugh.

The Bengals WILL finish last in the AFC North again. It’s a foregone conclusion.

I think the Bengals actually have a good chance to win the next three games tho, @Dallas, Titans, and Browns. Not so much the last two games tho against Broncos and Steelers.

Browns on the other hand have a much tougher schedule for their last 6 games. If I had to bet right now, I would say Bengals finish 3rd going 3-2, Browns 4th in the North going 1-5 losing tonight @Broncos.

Only thing is Browns always play us tough. The final game is just up in the air. If Pittsburgh and Baltimore are neck and neck, it'll be tough. But they may have it locked up and resting starters.

The remaining schedules for each team:

Us:
@ Dallas
@Tennessee
Cleveland
Denver
@Pittsburgh

Maybe two wins?

Cleveland:
@ Denver
@Pittsburgh
Kansas City
Bengals
Dolphins
@ Baltimore

Maybe three wins?  So much will depend on what playoff teams rest payers.  The race for the North and for seeding is still ongoing, so Cleveland will get Denver, Pitt and KC at full throttle, while Denver and Pitt may have their fates decided by the time we play them.  So many ways it could break, but I think we squeak out third place. Week 16:  The Battle for the Dweller of the Cellar!
