1. New England Patriots (9-5) [Arizona, @ Buffalo]
2. Miami Dolphins (9-5) [@ Kansas City, @ NY Jets]
3. New York Jets (9-5) [@ Seattle, Miami]
4. Baltimore Ravens (9-5) [@ Dallas, Jacksonville]

Assuming the Colts (10-4) get the other one, which team out of those 4 get the second wildcard spot? Oh my so many possible scenarios. Obviously one of those 3 will win the AFC East, and 2 of the 4 will get left out. These playoff implications can help in picking for this week 16. Gotta love the last 2 weeks....pretty much playoff games.

With that in mind, I think Cowboys blowout the Ravens. Line's at -4.5 down from -5, will probably go up to 6 maybe 7 though? Safer to get the ML though.

[Cougar Bait]

Looking at the schedules I'd say the Patriots and either the Jets OR the Dolphins considering they play each other. However, the Ravens might be the best team of the bunch. It would be a shame if they didn't make it.

Another interesting thing to note, the futures bet on division winners before the season started:

Patriots -800
Bills +800
Jets +800
Dolphins +2000

Titans gonna cash the best odds for that bet at +800 and then Broncos at +400.

This is the week to parlay money lines. Teams that are desperate to get in the playoffs should win, cover or no cover. Parlaying these 3 ML will probably get you some good odds. Teasing 6 points for 3 teams gets you +180.

Philadelphia -5 @ Washington
San Diego +3 @ Tampa Bay
Chicago -4 vs Green Bay

The Bears absolutely need this one against the Packers to have ANY chance at the tie breaker with Minnesota. The Eagles at 8-5-1 trying for a wildcard spot have 3 teams ahead of them with 9-5 records. It's a must win.

And the Chargers....well all they can do is keep winning and hope for a Denver lost. And yes, Tampa needs a win to stay alive too so careful with that game.

Jets will lose in Seattle...

1) Holmgrens last game at Seattle
2) Holmgren VS Favre, Holmgren has the edge here
3) Jets suck
4) Jets suck on the road
5) Jets suck on the west coast

I agree. I mean, I'm not guaranteeing a Seattle win, but it's a good bet. The Jets aren't really that good. I actually think the worst part of the Jets as a team is the head coach. All of Belichick's assistants that went to head coaching jobs are hacks.

As for who gets into the playoffs, I think the Pats & Dolphins win out and make it. The Ravens are out because they play they Cowboys and I just can't see them going into Dallas and getting a win. The Jets will lose at least one of their last two, if not both, they just aren't a high caliber team.

3 of those teams are from the AFC East, so one's guaranteed a spot. I think New England will clinch the Division. Baltimore will lose to Dallas and be out. Jets have Farve, and I trust him more than pennington.

So it's the Jets and Pats.

You know what happens when you ASSuME! Don't count Indy a shoe in,Jacksnoville has the recipe to beat them,then they go to Tennesse next week! I think everyone is going to be suprised when Baltimore beats Dallas outright this week!(Remember Dallas coming off playing physical game against NYG on short week) I see Baltimore the strongest team out of these teams.

[unit1884]

And all the talk of the Jets going to the superbowl after beating the Titans, they also lost to the Raiders... People seem to forget about that.

[unit1884]

No chance for Baltimore in Dallas. It will be similar to the BAL @ INDY game earlier in the season, total blowout.

its gotta be a tough year for them losing the way they did IN pitt then at home against pitt ;not to mention the phantom roughing the QB in the final minute of the titan game for them to kick the winning field goal .. the ravens always get hosed by the refs and they one of the best teams (ATS) in the league
