It Comes Down To The LAST Scrimmage
This weekend is the final regular season set in the National Football League. While the six teams of the NFC playoffs are set, it still needs to be decided which teams play each other. Meanwhile, there are seven contenders in the AFC for two playoff slots, and all that will be decided Sunday.
Being the Steelers fan that I am, I will need to watch this intently. For the Steelers to make the playoffs, not only do they have to win their game against the Dolphins in Miami...
They need the Patriots to eliminate the Texans (likely), and/or...
The Raiders to eliminate the Ravens (perhaps a 30% likelihood?), and/or...
The Chiefs to eliminate the Broncos (not frickin' likely).
And even if the majority of the above happens, the Steelers can still be knocked out if...
The Jets beat the Bengals in prime-time.
But that last game is probably the only game I'll be likely to actually see, as here the expected televised games will be:
The Colts at Buffalo.
The Falcons at the Bucs.
And the Titans (boo hiss!) at Seattle.
I hate the TV here.
