Best Upcoming Games
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh Week 16
If Baltimore upsets Pittsburgh they could get into and knock Houston from Playoffs (assuming rest of picks are accurate)
******Edit**********
Miami @ Buffalo Week 16
Odds are pretty close, but Buffalo is favored right now. If the Dolphins win either Houston or Tennessee maybe out of playoffs ( KrisSTORY pointed this out to me and I haven't been able to run a Dolphin win through the simulator...)
******Edit***********
Denver @ KC Week 16
KC is expected to win, but if Denver prevails Oakland finishes first in AFC West instead of KC, and Denver goes to Playoffs instead of Houston. (assuming rest of picks are accurate)
UNLESS...
Houston @ Tennessee Week 17
If Houston manages to beat Tennessee in this game, Houston would knock Tennessee out of the playoffs. (assuming rest of picks are accurate)
Comments
I really doubt houston and tennessee could get into the playoffs together.
Dolphins are probably going 10-6.
Tennessee is either going 9-7 or 10-6, they will win against jax so that's 9-6 and if they beat the texans then they're in with 10-6 to the texans 9-7. This pretty much goes vice versa with these two teams.
No way they both get in unless the Dolphins lose, and in that case, I believe that the Ravens would get in at 9-7 instead of a 9-7 team from the AFC South (if their conference record is better which it should be)
