Playoff Wildcard Senarios

Week 17

It appears... in the NFC (I did not pay attention to first round bye):

If DET wins and DAL wins... DET is in the playoffs

If DET wins and WAS wins... WAS is in the playoffs

If DET loses... the winner of DAL vs WAS is in the playoffs.


It appears... in the AFC, the Titans have locked up the first round bye.

If all three BUF/IND/SD win... it appears BUF and SD make the playoffs.

If both BUF and IND lose and SD wins, it appears BUF makes the playoffs.

If the Colts win and BUF and SD lose, it appears IND & BUF make the playoffs.


My take...

It's a 3-horse race in the AFC (assuming everyone has healthy QBs) - DEN / NE / TEN
I tend to believe it's a 3-horse race in the NFC - STL / MIN / SEA... with PHI / ATL being a long shot.
8 teams with a legitimate shot... DEN / NE / TEN / STL / MIN / SEA / PHI / ATL
