Pretty cool.  We win out and the Pats win out but the Rats drop one, we're the 1 seed.  No shit.

It sure would be sweet to have that one seed, but I just don't see Balty losing the rest of the year.  Then again, the games they lost were all games they were heavily favored in so who knows?

Yeah, they had that out a few weeks ago, but there were so many permutations then that it was impractical.  Worth a look now though.

Was interesting in that, at least then, if you sorted by best offense, NE, NO, and GB all won out.  But sorting by best D they lost every game.

I'm hoping the Raven's will cough one up to the Chargers and that the Bengals willcome through at the end of the season.  That may be more unlikely than the Chargers winning Sunday night.

With Ben and Pounce's HAS, I almost think they should sit against SF, and maybe against the Rams and Browns, because even one more win or a combination of likely losses by AFC teams would ensure we get a WC.  Playing them through injury on the hope that the Ravens drop a stupid game just so we can get 1 week of bye time to heal seems less desirable than having several weeks to heal now and the team going into the playoffs more healthy.
