Titans Playoff Predictor

Not true if the Steelers win both games.
We still have to win the saints game

 

If the Steelers win out then it doesn’t matter what we do. The Saints game literally means nothing if the Texans beat the Bucs.

 

Sorry, this is completely wrong. see my playoff scenarios above (#1 and #2 under Wild Card).

If the steelers win 1, we have to win 2. N.O. matters regardless of Texans winning.

If the Steelers lose both, we can get in with a win over N.O., again regardless of a Texan win at Bucs.

 

I suppose by the time we know if the NO game mattered, we’ll either be eliminated already or in the playoffs. At that time, we can dissect all 16 games on which ones mattered.

As of now, the NO game matters, titans need to win regardless off TB/Hou. A loss just doesn’t eliminate them. A win and a Pit loss sets Tennessee at the #6 spot going into week 17.

 

Did you guys even use the tool provided on the first page? The NO game doesn't matter. Steelers lose to Ravens, and we beat Texans, and we're in.

 

Wow- logic fail!

You picked out one scenario and said “see, it doesnt matter”. what you obviously dont get is that it just might matter A HELL OF A LOT. what if we lose to the Texans? plug that into that dummy helper and see what you get if Pitt loses both games. We get in with a win over NO.

Beating NO gives us another path to the playoffs.

 

If Pittsburgh loses both games, then NO still doesn't matter. Because we could lose both games and still get in at 8-8 on the tie-breakers.

If Pittsburgh wins 1 game, then we would get in at 9-7 with tie-breakers by losing to NO and beating Houston. If we beat NO and lose to Houston, we would be out based on tie-breakers with Pittsburgh at 9-7.

The only way the NO game matters at all is if Houston loses to Tampa Bay on Saturday. If Houston beats Tampa Bay, the NO game will then have zero bearing on our playoff berth.

 

I get that. But Pitt ain't losing both games. We're lucky if they lose either. If Houston loses to Tampa this week, I'm sitting Henry to heal up for Houston rematch.

 

You would sit Henry if Houston wins in Tampa this week, because then NO is meaningless. If Houston wins, then Saints game can not help or hurt us toward the playoffs.

If Houston loses, then you play Henry, because by beating New Orleans we can then win the division in Week 17.

 

If Tampa beats Houston, but the Titans lose to NO, then Houston wins the division regardless of what happens in week 17.
