Georgiafan's thoughts
With the Chiefs now being CPU that's huge for the user teams in the AFC as that should open up a wildcard spot. Whoever doesn't win the AFC west will get one of the spots but the 2nd is up for grabs.

The ravens now being CPU (I think) hurts that team and at 2-4 they are close to being out of the playoff race. That makes the road to division a little easier for the 3 user teams in that divison.

This is quietly a big game for the Jets as his next 3 games are raiders, bills and saints. He needs a win to stay close to the Bills who have won that divison 2 years in a row.

Georgiafan's thoughts
The 3-3 Broncos have some life after CPU beat the Jets last week and bringing a new owner now. He still has a long way to go to make the playoffs.

The dolphins are also getting some life with a CPU win last week and also a new owner. They are getting thrown into the fire this week vs the vet owner Bills.

The Jags continue to win and are looking good in the playoff race. The AFC south could get 2 teams into the playoffs for the first time.

There is a lot of games vs the CPU in the AFC this week it will be interesting to see what games the CPU decides to cheese it up and get a win.

The titans schedule looked manageable at the start of the year but now not so much. It went from 5-1 cardinals to 6-2 Jags and now 5-2 Steelers followed by the 4-3 Bengals. Still have tough user games to go with Browns, Rams and Seahawks.

The chiefs will not last as the last wildcard spot with user games left vs Dolphins, Jets, Jags, Cowboys, Broncos and Bills

Will be interesting to see how much Chargers dip in Glen's absence. 6th spot is as open as it's ever been

 

[Danperez]

Bengals need a big win against bigtexas browns!

 

[georgiafan]

Yea I was gonna add that to my thoughts but wasn't sure exactly how many games he plans on missing.

To me that makes the bengals vs Browns game the game of the week

 

[Danperez]

Looks like we might be playing sunday morning.

Georgiafan's thoughts
As was mentioned in the other thread the Raiders vs Bills is a huge game with the winner getting the inside for not only the #1 seed but more importantly a 1st round bye. With the chargers likely getting one of the wildcard spots both of these teams want to get a bye to avoid that potential game vs him or the loser of the AFC south.

The titans and steelers both play CPU games that they should win so that puts a little extra pressure on the game above.

The Jags game vs Cards was suppose to be played last night and hopefull will find a way to get played today. While it may not get the spotlight that raiders/bill will. It be a better game from the standpoint that both of these teams have a little more the prove and the winner can make a statement. I have played both teams I expected a clean game from both sides that will be close.

The chargers might not get to play his game vs broncos so if that happens gives the wildcard teams a little more hope as a loss would make him 5-5.

I added Benglas to major game list as its a elimination game from him as he is still looking for a signature win vs a user team this year. So tune in tonight before the main event to watch this one.

Georgiafans thoughts
Do not sleep on the chargers even after this weeks lost vs the raiders. They will win out and end up being 11-5 and nobody wants to play them round 1.

The jags have the toughest schedule left with major user games left vs Steelers and Bills.

This is a big game for the titans as a win vs colts gets them a 5-1 divison record which would give them the tiebreaker over the Jags.

The Browns are rolling now and have bengals, Steelers and Lions to go.

The raiders should all but clinch the #1 seed next week vs the 0-13 Texans. They have 2 user games left that they will be big favorites in.

The steelers with games left vs Jags, Bengals and Browns could be in trouble if they lose 2 of them.

The bills with 3 games to go have Bucs, Jags and chiefs so no cupcake games for them as they go for a 1st round bye.

I don't see the bengals winning out with Andy Dalton hurt with games vs Browns, Steelers and Broncos

Division records
Steelers 4-0
Titans 5-1
Bills 6-0
Browns 4-1
Chargers 3-2
Jags 3-2

A broncos win over the chiefs this week would officially eliminate them

The bengals lost vs the browns this week all but ends there playoff dreams. Espacally with a game vs steelers to and Andy Dalton hurt.

The bills not only lost to the bucs last night but more importantly they lost star QB Tyrod Taylor for around 2 months or so. This makes them getting a first bye even more important but that looks to be a tough task with 2 games left vs Jags and Chiefs. Michael Floyd a 63 overall QB went 9 for 21 with 147 yards, 1 TD and 1 Int in his place. No 3rd QB is currently on the roster.

The Jags play a CPU teams this week and should win. The titans will have a user 3 win Jets teams. Chargers have the user Dolphins.

The Browns score another win vs a solid user team in the Bengals. They have the tricky cheesy CPU lions next.

Chargers play a user this week lol

Jags

Steelers
- Have clinched the division
- Could get a first round bye with a win and titans lose

Bills
- Have clinched the divison
- Needs to win out vs Jags and Chiefs and have titans and steelers lose to get 1st round bye. If this happens all 3 of those teams would be 11-5 and bills went 6-0 in division
