Post season seeding, preferences and chances (merged)

I wonder if there ever has been a 12-4 wildcard before. I cant recall any.

I read somewhere that there is an idea that if if a team only had a .500 or below record, they wouldn't host a playoff game, despite winning the division. That wouldn't help this season, but there has to be something like that if the games won spread is substantial, like 3 games or so.

Since we both play at the same time, that will be kind of hard to do.

Still waiting on opening lines for the AFC West games, due to Monday Night Football... but AL is all in.

Denver had lost four games at home this season.

Lost to Chiefs, Rams, Texans, and Browns at home. None are exactly pushovers. Not sure what you're saying. My point is that Den is a tough divisional opponent in the Mile High city who will want to knock off the Chargers, and Miller and Chubb will thrive on pounding Rivers.

My point is they haven't been great at home. Don't care who it was against. They have more home loses than we do and I don't consider us a great home team. I expect it to be a tough division game but I like our chances better there than at home.

The only homefield advantage the Bolts have are sleeping at home the night before.
From afar the ratbirds game seemed like the closest thing in the past 2 seasons and it was what 60-40 at best?

[blueman]

We seem to do better not sleeping at home. Just saying.

Also just realized Baltimore can miss the playoffs with a L and a Steelers W. We would play winner of Tenn/Indy.

[Budsman]

On the bright side even though they lost this is a Christmas I can extra enjoy looking forward to Charger stuff under the tree.

We get them on a short week in the last game of the horrible season coming off an ugly loss to a bad Raider team. I'm not sure they'll mail it in, but I do expect we will want a little payback and to make up for last week.

TEN minus Jurrell Casey and plus Marcus Mariota with a stinger, that would be my preference.

I would expect IND's Oline to chew them up pretty good Sunday night.

Maybe we can catch TEN on a short week on Saturday, and get our running game cranked back up.

BALANCE.
