I thought it was a done deal and we were playing them. Is that accurate or what has to happen for us to play someone else?

If KC loses and Miami beats NE, we play KC then I think

yes, but what is the chance A.) Kc wants to play us first round
b.) the Dolphins want to blow their wad trying to beat the Pats when they may face them again in the playoffs? And even if so, that they beat them anyhow

I think Houston is the easiest team for us to beat.

Well I highly doubt they go into Foxboro and win let alone win in the first round.. The only way we see them is in the AFCC.

Except that KC isn't likely to lose and I don't see the Fins beating the Cheats either.

I can see Miami winning that game. They're going to go all out to win that and Pats are most likely sitting starters.

Pats need to win to lock up #1 seed so they will not be sitting starters.

****, I didn't realize they didn't have the 1 seed locked up yet. Yeah, we could definitely be playing the Chiefs.

Actually, I can see Raiders losing at Denver. So even if KC and Patriots both win, that would leave Dolphins at #6 so we would end up playing them.

I'm not a complicated guy---this is the scenario I expect to see as well...

Yup, Brady has to go full bore against Suh and Wake. Do us a solid!

I expect NE to go all out and beat Miami, KC will knock off the chargers and since Denver's season is done Oakland will slip past them and take the West

I agree, and NE is playing for home field still, the part that sucks is I can see KC winning, and Oakland going to Denver and losing, thus giving KC the 2nd seed and we'd have to go to KC rather than oakland for the divisional round if we win the wild card game. That leaves the houston-Miami winner going to NE, and neither has a **** there. That's why I hope KC stays at 5, they can go to NE and possibly win

I hope raiders get the number 2, and we get the fins. Best set up for the good guys.

No Tannehill helps

That was a bad game, counld't stop the run or pass
