Goff! A surprisingly good game from him

Bummer. Looks like a good time to test some things out with our strategy

From what I can tell, I need to outdo either the Ravens or the Bills to make the playoffs. Matching them will result in elimination as Bills will beat me on tiebreaker if they pick up another win and the Ravens have the tie (plus tiebreaker anyway if they beat the Browns)

Technically I can beat the Bills on tiebreaker (I think) if we both lose out but that also requires the Jets to lose to the Bengals.

Cam decided on a revenge game. Oops.

And I guess our playoff hopes depend on...

Here Comes the AFC South
9. Columbus Pioneers 6-9
10. Indianapolis Colts 6-9
11.Tennessee Titans 6-9

Eliminated from Playoff Contention, Part II
12. Cincinnati Bengals 6-9
13. Kansas City Chiefs 6-9
14. Denver Broncos 6-9
15. Oakland Raiders 6-9
16. Mexico City Browns 5-10

I'm not going to bother bringing up Week 17 ties in scenarios

Express will get #1 seed in AFC with a win or a loss, Dolphins loss, and Pats loss

Dolphins will get #1 seed in AFC with a win and Express loss

Pats will get #1 seed in AFC with a win, Dolphins loss, and Express loss

Ravens will win AFC North with a win or Steelers loss

Steelers will win AFC North with a win and Ravens loss

Jags > Pioneers > Colts > Titans is the definitive tiebreaker ranking for the AFC South and will not be changed on Week 17 results, so with all the teams being 6-9:
- Jags win AFC South with win or losses by other three
- Pioneers win AFC South with win and Jags loss
- Colts win AFC South with win, Jags loss, and Pioneers loss
- Titans win AFC South with win, Jags loss, Pioneers loss, and Colts loss

Browns will be guaranteed #1 pick with a loss to the Pioneers

NFC Playoff Picture

Playoff Teams
1. San Juan Orcas 10-5 (clinched NFC South)
2. St. Louis Rams 10-5 (clinched NFC West)
3. Chicago Bears 10-5 (clinched NFC North)
4. New York Giants 7-8 (NFC East leaders)
5. Atlanta Falcons 9-6 (Wild Card, clinched playoff spot)
6. San Francisco 49ers 8-7 (Wild Card)

In Playoff Contention
7. Detroit Lions 8-7

Eliminated From Playoff Contention
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-8
9. Green Bay Packers 7-8
10. Minnesota Vikings 7-8

Here Comes the NFC East
11. Dallas Cowboys 7-8
12. Washington 7-8
13. Philadelphia Eagles 6-8-1

Eliminated From Playoff Contention, Part II
14. Seattle Seahawks 6-9
15. Toronto Wildcats 6-9
16. Carolina Panthers 6-9

Orcas get #1 seed with a win or losses by both the Rams and Bears

Rams get #1 seed with a win and Orcas loss

Bears get #1 seed with a win, Orcas loss, and Rams loss

Falcons get #5 seed with a win or losses by both Lions and 49ers

Lions get #5 seed with a win, 49ers loss, and Falcons loss

Lions get #6 seed with a win, 49ers loss, and Falcons win

49ers will clinch Wild Card with a win, but they can maybe get #5 seed if Falcons also lose, but it would go to common games record

Giants > Cowboys/Wash > Eagles is definitive NFC East ranking, so:
- Giants win NFC East with a win or losses by other three
- Cowboys clearly win NFC East with a win and losses by both Giants and Washington
- Washington clearly wins NFC East with a win and losses by both Giants and Cowboys
- Eagles win NFC East with a win and losses by other three

The tricky scenario here is if the Giants lose and both Cowboys and Washington win. Due to identical records in other tiebreakers, it would go to common games record, which Cowboys must be leading Washington in right now. I'm not going to take the time to calculate it, but it's possible that could flip in Week 17 if Washington defeats the Steelers, whom the Cowboys lost to earlier in the season.

lol what a disaster of a division

holy 6-9 batman

Your B8NFLL Season 16 AFC playoff teams

1. Portland Express
2. Miami Dolphins
3. Baltimore Ravens
4. Columbus Pioneers
5. New England Patriots
6. Pittsburgh Steelers

This is the fifth straight playoff appearance for the Express who earned their first conference #1 seed.

This is the sixth straight AFC East crown for the Dolphins.

This is the sixth straight AFC North crown for the Ravens.

This is the third AFC South crown for the Pioneers in the past four seasons and they join the S8 Steelers as the only teams to make the playoffs with losing records (those Steelers also played and upset the visiting wild card Patriots).

This is the first playoff appearance for the Patriots since S13, and all four of their postseason trips have come via the wild card.

This is the first playoff appearance for the Steelers since S11.

Your B8NFLL Season 16 NFC Playoff Teams

1. San Juan Orcas
2. Los Angeles Rams
3. Chicago Bears
4. Washington
5. San Francisco 49ers
6. Detroit Lions

This is the second straight postseason trip and third overall for the Orcas, including their first bye and conference #1 seed.

This is the eighth-straight postseason trip for the Rams.

This is the first postseason trip for the Bears, so now all 32 franchises have made at least one postseason trip.

This is the third postseason trip in the past four seasons for Washington.

This is the second straight postseaon trip for the 49ers.

This is the first postseason trip for the Lions since S13.

I want to apologize to MMX if he's reading this for erroneously reporting that the Falcons secured a playoff spot following Week 16. I was not aware that the head-to-head tiebreaker is used in a three-way tie if not all teams played each other, so even though the 49ers played neither the Falcons nor Lions, the Lions victory over the Falcons during the season eliminated Atlanta after Week 17.
