With Week 16 losses at JAX Jagoffs and NO Aint’s respectively, Tennessee Tuxedos and TB Bucs ate their tickets to the playoff party.
In the NFC, TB has a very slim hope, a Motor City Kitty win at home in their winner take all match vs GB AND a G-men win at WAS.
Given the latter is a meaningless game for NYG, who already have the #5 seed locked in, this is NOT a likely scenario for fans of the Pirates in Pewter Pants.
But you never know, as one would have thought having sewn up the #1 seed, the Big D Pokes would have not risked injuries and taken Sunday night off vs the Lions?
In any event, a Redskins win over NYG and they are in at #6. A DET loss to GB and an unlikely NYG win make the Pontiac Pussycats a backdoor #6 seed.
IMHO, the Sausage Packers win out at DET, while the Military Insects (GI-Ants) take a much needed week off, putting the screws to both TB and DET, by letting the Deadskins in the back door.
Elsewhere, to assure a week off with #2 seed the Hot-lanta Falcons need a win vs Aint’s, as a loss could nest them at #3.
Flipside, #3 SEA Squawks having squandered #2 win a home loss to ARZ, need a win at SF for any hope of the #2 seed. The Phony Niners with their 2nd win of the year, both over the LA Lambs, just blew the #1 pick, and celebrated?
The AFC six pack is already set, just a small kerfuffle for positioning remains. To assure #1 seed, NE Minutemen must win at MIA Fish, who are locked in at #6.
To assure #2 seed home field and week off, and have a chance at #1, OAK Raiders must win at the eliminated DEN Buncos, as a loss could be devastating.
Locked up and taking the week off, PIT Steelers #3 and HOU Texans #4. Big question is #5 and #2 seed, the current #5 seed is KC.
With a Chef win at SD Dolts) AND a Raider loss at the Buncos, KC Chefs nab #2, while Da Raiders fall from grace to #5.
With one game to play, our picks with final record and seeding for the playoff 12 pack, and playoff predictions.
