    Pittsburgh is in the same position with Ravens as we are with Texans ... so, have to factor them into the Wild Card race, too. It'll be Ravens/Steelers. But I think it's going to be for us to get a Wild Card. I'd say take the Dolphins out ... they're done after their QB went down. But here's the most likely scenario for these teams, I think:

    - Dolphins: beat Jets (maybe), lose to Bills and Pats, finish 9-7
    - Broncos: lose to Pats and lose at least 1 of their remaining division games, finish 9-7
    - Ravens: lose to Pats and Steelers, finish 9-7

    If we finish 9-7, then Ravens would win the 4-way tie between us. So, we would need the Ravens to drop an extra game to the Eagles or Bengals, making them 8-8.

    It's the same result with Steelers, if Ravens took the AFC North and Steelers were at 9-7, they'd win the 4-way tie.

    So, our most direct route to the playoffs is definitely the division, or hoping the Steelers/Ravens lose every week. lol

    Rooting for Pittsburgh and Baltimore to lose? No problem. Been doing that for a decade. I am good at it.

    You left the Eagles and Bengals out of the Ravens remaining schedule. They do not have to lose out. They can win one of those and lose the other and finish at 8-8.
    Then, if we finish 2-1, we are in.

    I listed the teams I expect them to lose to, which is 2 teams leaving them at 9-7. They should beat the Eagles and Bengals. Of course, should doesn't always happen when playoffs are on the line and you're playing a divisor all rival who are essentially playing in the super bowl, so bengals could get lucky.
