syd Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 AFC North Baltimore Ravens: They beat the Jaguars and Dolphins to challenge for the top seed in the AFC Baltimore plays Jacksonville and Miami in the final month of the season. Both teams, like the Ravens, are 6-2. But the Jaguars simply don't have the top-to-bottom talent the Ravens possess, and Miami hasn't been good against strong opponents on the road. Watch the Ravens win both of those crucial affairs to give themselves a chance at that first-round bye. Cincinnati Bengals: They make the playoffs That wouldn't exactly have been a bold call at the beginning of the season, but the Bengals started 1-3, they remain in last place in the AFC North, and they have a tough matchup with the Bills this weekend. Still, Joe Burrow has a 111.8 passer rating on the team's current three-game winning streak. You know he'll find a way. Cleveland Browns: Deshaun Watson helps them make the playoffs as well In other words, with the Jets fading, the Bills in trouble and the AFC South full of tumbleweed, the AFC North sends three teams to the postseason. But Watson is too good to not have some strong moments upon his return from a shoulder injury, and his defensive support is undeniable. Pittsburgh Steelers: They avoid a losing record for 20th season in a row Nine wins might not be enough to get to the playoffs in the AFC, but the Steelers should again be good for it despite their struggles this season on both sides of the ball. The defense is still jacked and getting on track, and that should be exacerbated by the return of standout defensive lineman Cameron Heyward. That'll at least get Mike Tomlin's team in the mix.

syd Posted November 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 A lot is riding on the Cleveland Browns’ matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. At 4-3, the Browns are very much in the playoff hunt – both as a division winner or as one of the three wild card teams. But the result of their Week 9 game could swing their chances to make the postseason by a lot. The Browns have a 15.4 percent difference in playoff probability depending on if they win or lose against the Cardinals, according to Sumner Sports. A victory on Sunday would give the Browns a 49.8 percent chance to make the playoffs, but a loss would lessen that probability to 34.2 percent.

I'm going to remain an optimist regarding the Browns, but how exactly are the NY Jets fading (3 wins in a row), and the Bills in trouble? The Bills could be in trouble with a loss in Cincy because they do have one of the toughest remaining schedules on paper. Regarding the NYJets, they have just been finding a way, kind of like the dreaded Steelers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob806 Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Just now, syd said: I have zero faith in either team I have zero love for either team lol. I used to "kind of" pull for the Bills but after last season, I got a little sick of 'em. Mainly because they had ample time to leave a snowstorm, but chose not to. Their reward was getting an outdoor game (vs the Browns of course) moved indoors to Detroit, while Heinz Field & Fedex Field were unoccupied- I just thought that was dead wrong by Goodell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed off SNF, MNF for a big change. It as deja vu all over again. The favorite hosted a "lessor" team which missed an extra point putting it one point behind in the last two minutes only to drive down and kick the winning FG as time expired (of course it helped that the slugs inexplicably had 12 men on the field for the first missed FG try subtracting penalty yardage from the winning kick-ST coach is an idiot apparently because he can't count).

syd Posted November 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 NFL standings for Week 11 AFC playoff picture 1. Kansas City Chiefs (7-2), first place, AFC West. The Chiefs are returning from a bye with a tough schedule, starting with the Eagles at home on Monday night. They need to win to keep pace and stay ahead of the winning Ravens. 2. Baltimore Ravens (8-3), first place, AFC North. The Ravens rebounded well from their Week 10 home loss to the Browns by opening Week 11 with a home win over the Bengals. They have opened up a nice lead in the league's toughest division, continuing to put pressure on the Chiefs. 3. Jacksonville Jaguars (7-3), first place, AFC South. The Jaguars rebounded from their terrible Week 10 home loss to the 49ers to also keep pace with the Ravens by drubbing the Titans. They also stayed ahead of the Texans in the division before facing them again. 4. Miami Dolphins (7-3), first place, AFC East. The Dolphins are up 2 games on the Bills, to whom they lost earlier in the season. They also are 2.5 games up on the Jets, whom they play for the first time on "Black Friday" in Week 12. That all comes with holding off the upset-minded Raiders at home. 5. Cleveland Browns (7-3), second place, AFC North. The Browns got within a half-game of the Ravens after beating them in Week 11. They did so by winning another walk-off field-goal game over the Steelers to split that season series. 6. Houston Texans (6-4), second place, AFC North. The Texans saw their offense come down to earth a little with some key turnovers from C.J. Stroud, but they held off Kyler Murray and the Cardinals with some big plays from their young defense. They kept pace with the Jaguars and jumped the Steelers as a result. 7. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4), third place, AFC North. The Steelers couldn't overcome inept offense beyond Jaylen Warren's big game and fell by three points in their rematch with the Browns. They slid a spot in the division and also fell behind the Texans because of a slightly worse conference record. Who's in the hunt? 8. Indianapolis Colts (5-5) 9. Cincinnati Bengals (5-5) 10. Buffalo Bills (5-5) 11. Las Vegas Raiders (5-6) 12. New York Jets (4-5) 13. Denver Broncos (4-5) 14. Los Angeles Chargers (4-6) 15. Tennessee Titans (3-7) The Bengals had a big chance to rebound from the Texans loss but they fell again at Baltimore to open Week 11 with Joe Burrow getting hurt with his right wrist early. They're now in that muddle .500 mix with slimmer playoff hopes with the division already possibly out the window. The Raiders and Chargers suffered key losses on Sunday, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re talking 4-3 or 5-2 finish, quite possible the ravens are looking at 3-3 or 4-2 The Steelers suck, but they always own Lamar The AFCN is really a possibility for the browns.

hoorta Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Some playoff thoughts. The Bungles game this Sunday against the Steelers is pretty much their season. A loss puts them at 5-6, 0-4 in the division, and 1-6 in the Conference. Stick a fork in them, they're done. OTOH, the Browns had better keep winning, because the Steelers have by far the easiest schedule the way out. Wounded Bengals twice, Cardinals, Patriots, Colts, then finish up with the Seahawks and Ravens. Can the Browns cool off a hot Broncos team on the road? Stay tuned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly AP! The Browns don't have to pray/watch for everyone else to lose if they keep winning. IMO, pretenders count on everyone else while contenders take care of their own business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
