nfl playoff scenario
The NFL playoff scenarios look extremely complicated right now in the AFC. However, the current NFL playoff scenario isn't so bad, as long as certain teams win to start 2010. Despite five 8-7 teams fighting for two wild card spots, two
NFL Playoff Scenarios 2010 Inch Towards Simplicity
of them control their destiny. If the Jets and Ravens both win next week, there will be no more need for crazy tiebreakers and math. But if they lost, the NFL playoff scenario that unfolds could be very hard to figure out - though fortunately, that's the only complicated one.Aside from the AFC wild card mess, the rest of the NFL playoff scenarios for 2010 look pretty easy, especially in the NFC. All six playoff teams in the NFC are set, but the seeding order still needs to be settled. The Vikings can't clinch a bye tonight against the Bears, but they can avoid slipping behind the Eagles with a win.Next week, the Saints will try yet again to clinch home field against the Panthers. The Eagles can possibly get a two seed by beating the Cowboys and winning the NFC East - or they could go down to sixth with a loss. The Vikings must win tonight and beat the reeling Giants next week to guarantee a bye - and then get home field with another Saints loss..The NFL playoff scenario of choice in the NFC is just to determine first round matchups. The AFC isn't that simple, but the top of it is. The Colts and Chargers are locked in at 1-2, while the Patriots and Bengals are fighting for the three seed.The Patriots can get that seed by beating the Texans, who are still trying to get in. But if the Patriots win, then the Bengals might have less to play for against the Jets - which could severely alter the wild card picture.For all the 8-7 AFC teams, the playoff scenarios favor the Jets and Ravens. The Jets can get in with the fifth seed by beating the Bengals - their second straight opponent who might rest people. The Ravens can clinch by beating the Raiders - who are specializing in upsets lately.
