And of course the Chargers game.
I can't believe Buffalo has an outside chance! If all those teams wind up 9-7 as well as the Bills they would get in. Winning at Baltimore in Week 17 is a huge task though.

Well the thing about the game against Balt is that Balt is going to sit most of their players if they are locked into seed 2 or 3. If Balt is playing for seed 2 then Buffalo can forget it. But yeah, I cant believe the Bills have a chance. UNREAL. And what about San Fran having a chace to win their division. Seattle plays San Diego at home and they play at Tampa. San Fran is at home against Arizona and then at Denver.

Baltimore might be playing for a bye, something that team desperately needs, the porblem is the Steelers will beat them up this weekend win or lose...

I agree with you on that 100%. If Pitt gets to the playoffs, they could be a very scary team.

Wishful thinking myself a Steelers fan
but, losses to the Raiders & Falcons earlier in the season hurt them
Just wished this year that they were in the NFC

Nothing surprises me in the NFC. There is one very good team, two decent teams and a whole bunch of mediocre to bad teams. New Orleans went 1-3 against the AFC yet could be the 2 seed in the NFC. St Louis and San Francisco have to be two of the worst 6-8 teams in the history of the league.

Pitt will beat the Ravens to a pulp this weekend, those two teams hate each other, the Ravens are an old team and will be hitting the wall, looking at the scenarios, Buffalo might be in the best spot...The Bengals beat the Ravens after they palyed Pitt, I think they were softened up from that game...

Imagine Tenn and Buffalo getting the wild cards. Now that would be weird.

Have to see that game. Should be great.Two energized rolling teams back from the dead battling to maybe make the playoffs. WHo the hell would have thought that possible a couple of months ago?
I'll say this, Buffalo is a crazy diehard football town, and they haven't had a game this important in a LONG time. I expect the stadium to be rocking with crazy Bills fans.

It will be interesting to see what size crowd they get with it being Christmas Eve. There were 18,000 tickets available as of yesterday. Most of them will sell but I highly doubt it will end up a sellout, although the game will almost certainly blacked out which will lead to more people buying tickets late like this weeks game. This week there were still 4,000 tickets left until the blackout was announced and then 3,000 more were sold by gametime. Regardless of the size of the crowd it will be one pumped up crowd.

As a Bengals fan, hopefully Tenn wins, but I don't see it...

Hopefully, they are a 1 oclock game and then the Bengals and Denver at 4pm, wouldn't be a bad Christmas Eve, I could drink myself into a stupor and ignore the in-laws like I usually do...

I think that is the schedule. According to NFL.com this is the schedule.
Baltimore at Pittsburgh 1:00 p.m. 128 107
Carolina at Atlanta 1:00 p.m. 130 155
Chicago at Detroit 1:00 p.m. 121 181
Indianapolis at Houston 1:00 p.m. 144 147
New England at Jacksonville 1:00 p.m. 123 146
New Orleans at N.Y. Giants 1:00 p.m. 110 125
Tampa Bay at Cleveland 1:00 p.m. 152 143
Tennessee at Buffalo 1:00 p.m. 153
Washington at St. Louis 1:00 p.m. 158 119
Arizona at San Francisco 4:05 p.m. 110 143
Cincinnati at Denver 4:15 p.m. 147 130
San Diego at Seattle 4:15 p.m. 125 123

Look at these games on Sunday--Balt v Pitt, New England v Jacksonville, Tenn v Buffalo, Cincy v Denver, New Orleans v Giants.
