Title: Standings now Post by: dolphins4life on December 16, 2018, 03:50:00 pm Baltimore 8-6
Indianapolis 8-6 Tennessee 8-6 Miami 7-7 Miami must win out Tennessee must beat Indy week 17 Redskins need to beat the Titans. That would give them all 9-7 records and Miami would make it Cue Tenshot posting the Dumb and Dumber picture Title: Re: Standings now Post by: dolphins4life on December 16, 2018, 04:07:52 pm You forgot that Indy would have to lose to the Giants. Good luck with that. Wrong My scenario gives all three teams 9-7 records, this would give Miami the tiebreaker. This is also assuming the Steelers lose to the Patriots and Saints Title: Re: Standings now Post by: Pappy13 on December 16, 2018, 04:10:00 pm Wrong Sorry, I checked again and you are correct. Pittsburgh would need to lose twice or win 1 and tie 1. Still Miami just winning their last 2 games seems a long shot at this point as they have not looked good away from home and they have to play Buffalo away in week 17 with the Bills looking to be the spoiler. That will be a tough game. I see the Dolphins finishing 8-8 at best.My scenario gives all three teams 9-7 records, this would give Miami the tiebreaker.

Title: Re: Standings now Post by: Spider-Dan on December 17, 2018, 10:15:55 am Baltimore 8-6 Incorrect. As the 5th seed is going to KC or LAC, BAL needs to lose a game in the next two weeks to get to 7 losses. You did not mention a BAL loss.Indianapolis 8-6 Tennessee 8-6 Miami 7-7 Miami must win out Tennessee must beat Indy week 17 Redskins need to beat the Titans. That would give them all 9-7 records and Miami would make it MIA playoff conditions: First, win in Week 16 and 17. Then one of the following: a) 2 NE losses, or b) 1 PIT win + 1 BAL loss + 1 TEN loss + 1 IND loss, or c) 2 BAL losses + TEN loss to WSH + IND loss to TEN MIA will be eliminated from playoff contention with 8 losses, so that part is easy going forward. Title: Re: Standings now Post by: Pappy13 on December 17, 2018, 07:15:27 pm Here's the problem.
Titans will likely beat the Redskins this weekend. Colts will likely beat the Giants this weekend. Patriots will likely beat the Bills this weekend. If that happens no matter what Miami does they are out of the playoffs. Title: Re: Standings now Post by: Spider-Dan on December 17, 2018, 07:27:46 pm Correct: if all three of those teams win this weekend, MIA is eliminated from playoff contention.
Title: Re: Standings now Post by: raptorsfan29 on December 17, 2018, 07:42:41 pm Baltimore would have to lose against the Chargers for it to help the Dolphins. i believe they would have the same Conference record and a phins win against the bills would even the common games so it would go to Strength of Victory. which Miami would own if the Ravens win isn't against the Chargers.
Title: Re: Standings now Post by: Spider-Dan on December 17, 2018, 08:13:51 pm BAL and MIA have the same conference record right now, 6-4. BAL and MIA's remaining games are all against AFC opponents, which means that if MIA and BAL wind up with the same record, BAL will necessarily have one more conference loss than MIA.
