Strung Out
How's the regular season gonna end?
AFC
East; Pats and Jets, right? No debate there. The 7-2 Jets hold the edge as of today for the division with a huge game at NE in three weeks. They go Houston at home, Cinncy at home, at NE, Miami home, at Steelers, at Bears, Buffalo at home to finish the season.
Houston has to win or their season may be over, if it isn't already given that a wildcard ain't likely to make it out of the AFC South. Cinncy at home they should pummel. Then the big one at Pats. Should be able to handle the Phish in a home hangover game (week after a big game is the hangover game) then another big game at Steelers, a test away with the Bears who are flirting with being for real and then a late season bye with Buffalo at home to end it.
That's three wins, likely, Cinncy, Phish and Bills, to get to 10 plus call it 2 out of three one way or the other with with Texans/Steelers/Pats to get to 11 or 12 and a coin toss with the Bears which may be one heck of a game if they both still need it. Call it 12-4? 11-5 at worst?
Pats, also 7-2, start with Indy at home. I only see this going one way, especially with Brady on a mission. Beating Detroit on the road, the monster with Jets at home which they must win if they need to win the division though it is shaping up for both the Jets and Pats to get in. A potential big game at Chicago, then GB at home, another big game, at Buff and finish with Miami at home in a blizzard.
Colts, Det, Buff and Miami make them 11 with their big three games, Jets, GB and Chicago, leaving them at, if they go 2 out of 3 one way or the other, 12 or 13 wins. They beat Indy, they are in the drivers seat for the division.
Everybody else wanna pick a division?
