    For the next few weeks, you might want to scoreboard watch. Obviously, our best chance at the playoffs is to win the division. Second is wild card.

    So you might want to watch...

    Titans v Chiefs - We need a win to make our path easier but all is not lost if we drop this one.

    Colts v Vikings - Need the Vikes to take care of business and knock Indy off. With losses to Vikes and Raiders next two weeks should knock Colts out.

    Houston v Jags - Can Jags exact some revenge? Take all that frustration for a disappointing season and take it out on the Texans. Bottles will need to get them a lead so Osweiller can lose it! If Texans and Colts lose, we are in the drivers seat for the division!

    The wild card is complicated and much more of a long shot with the Dolphins winning. Frankly, to get the wild card we'd pretty need to do what it would take to win the division in terms of # of wins needed. Would need at least 9 wins most likely and might need 10...which would almost certainly win us the division.

    But here are the games to keep and eye on...

    Ravens v Eagles - Want Eagles to win!

    Cleveland v Buffalo - Go Browns!

    Pitt v Cindy - Go Cincy!

    NE v Denver - Go Pats!

    Raiders v Chargers - Go Chargers!

    Don't forget to cheer for the Bears against the Packers...to help our Rams pick

    But I'm actually rooting for Denver over the Pats and for the Raiders over the Chargers....If the Pats lose one more and the Raiders win out then I'm pretty sure that the Raiders will have the #1 seed because they win the 3rd tiebreaker which would be record against common opponents.

    Our most likely scenario is winning the division and being the 4th seed. If we win the wild card game then I'd rather play at the Raiders than at the Patriots.

    But what we really need is just a chilly win in KC!!!!

    10 wins would win us the division no matter what the Texans or colts do. We control our destiny now

    This is like a playoff game. This is the first game in a while where I am going to get that excited-nervous playoff feel.

    I think it is going to be a great game.

    Indy will be eliminated from playoffs with a loss and a Titans win OR a Texans win.

    With a loss today, Indy will be at 6-8, then best they could be is 8-8.

    If titans win (coupled with Indy loss), then Titans would be 8-6, meaning worst they could do is 8-8. 1 more win, and Indy couldn't catch them.

    Since Texans have 7 wins and the breaker, Indy would need them to lose out all 3 games (including today's game).

    Basically, colts lose today and Titans win, they would need both Titans and Texans to lose out, but that is impossible since we both playnweek 17

    The Texans could very well lose today. They are very banged up and not very good on offense. If the Jags can limit the mistakes they can win.
