Week 12 - Browns (3-7) v. Bucs (5-5)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
If we win out, Browns win tiebreaker over Bengals and Ravens. Since division record is next tiebreaker. Just would need two additional losses from the Ravens. The challenge is winning out. If we can get defense today for the rest of the year, the chances are much better.

So if we win out the Ravens have to lose 2 games somewhere for us to get in. That's kind of what I was wondering, thanks for that info.

So basically here's what the Browns need...

TO WIN THE AFC NORTH
-Finish 6-0
-Both Cincinnati AND Baltimore to finish 3-3

This one is gonna be tough.

Baltimore Remaining Schedule
vs. Denver, at Pittsburgh, at Cleveland, vs. Atlanta, vs. Pittsburgh, at Cincinnati

Feels like 4-2 and the AFC North division title for the Ravens.

Cincinnati Remaining Schedule
vs. Kansas City, vs. Cleveland, at Tampa Bay, at New England, vs. Buffalo, vs. Baltimore

3-3 feels more realistic here.

TO EARN AN AFC WILD CARD

Let's assume the following...

Kansas City wins the AFC West
Tennessee wins the AFC South
One of Miami/Buffalo wins the AFC East
One of Cincinnati/Baltimore wins the AFC North
One of Miami/Buffalo gets the 1st Wild Card

That would leave 2 Wild Card spots left and the Browns would need the following...

-To finish 6-0 to get to 10-7

And two of the following to happen...

A 2-4 finish by New York to finish 9-8
A 3-3 finish by New England to finish 9-8
A 3-3 finish by the non AFC North winner Baltimore/Cincinnati to finish 10-7

This feels like a more realistic possibility than both Cincinnati and Baltimore going 3-3.
 
Literally just that Jets game…

I mean if we’re sitting here right now at 5-6… Damn

The Browns should have won the Jets game, no question. However... I hope everyone has been keeping an eye on the Jets season ever since they stole the Browns game. They are now 7-4 and beat both the 8-3 Bills and 8-3 Dolphins. They are comfortably in that second tier of my AFC contenders. There was no shame in losing to Bob Saleh.
