JohnnyLV Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Simply things for me too - what needs to happen for the Jets to win the division this year. Simple: Jets win out. NE losses out. Seems pretty likely to me, Vegas might give some nice odds for a wager on that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Interesting movement in the playoff picture this week ... Pitt losing to Seattle was huge, it drops them below us (as of now) due to conference record, BUT that's a very incomplete tie breaker at present. KC still look the best bet for a WC spot as things stand ... easiest schedule of all the 6-5 / 5-6 teams, PLUS the best conference W-L record to boot (5-2). And they've beaten Pitt, Buffalo and Houston, so own head to heads there if needed. Two games vs. Oakland book-end a fairly soft run in their schedule (SD, Bal, Cle), SD could be a surprise but that game is at Arrowhead, so definite advantage for KC there. AFC South is getting tricky ... it'd be better for us if Houston win the division, due to the head to head tie breaker, but if there are 3 or more teams on the same record that doesn't factor in. Houston's next games are very interesting for us - Buffalo next week then Patsies followed by Colts. Another Bills loss could pretty much put them out of the race, and the Colts game could be the difference in the division title. Indy play Pitt this week ... if ever there's a game you wish both teams could lose, this would be it. Game's in Pittsburgh, so Steelers should be favoured, but Big Ben's health will be key. Pitt are below us right now due to conference records - we're 5-4, they're 3-4 and have games vs. Indy, @ Cincy and vs. Denver the next three weeks. That's a rough road. If they lose 2 of those 3 we may be able to stay ahead on conference record. I'm assuming we have to beat Tenn and Buffalo to stay in the race, so in that scenario we'd end up 6-6 conference record (unless we can beat NE ...) Lots of key match ups this week - Jets need to take care of business vs. the Gints first and foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Still 6 weeks to go and everyone bunched up at 5-5, at this point, just root for the Jets to win!! This, basically. Odds are pretty poor for us, all things taken into account. But who knows, odder things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
