Well, at least the Jets are used to road playoff games. ...Assuming they still make the playoffs.

If Cinci or Baltimore start getting destroyed down the stretch, they have a shot; personally I hope the Ravens just tank the rest of the season because except for that one game where they destroyed the Steelers early in the season I hate the Ravens and also because three AFC North teams in the playoffs would be basically the worst thing in the history of things.
The Bucs, on the other hand, need a miracle. And for half the NFC to be replaced with defective androids.

Jets:
at Broncos
v Bills
at Redskins
v Chiefs
at Eagles
v Giants
at Dolphins
...I do legitimately think they could win out, but they probably drop at least 1 of those. So I'd say 11-5, with 10-6 as a possibility if they decide to drop a game they shouldn't.
Patriots:
v Chiefs
at Eagles
v Colts
at Redskins
at Broncos
v Dolphins
v Bills
...Yeah, the Patriots should win out. Maybe they drop one if the Eagles actually show up-ahahahahahaha. 13-3, win the AFC East.
Ravens:
v Bengals
v 49ers
at Browns
v Colts
at Chargers
v Browns
at Bengals
...Ugh, predicting the Ravens is impossible. I could see them winning out or going under .500 to finish depending on which Ravens team shows up to these games. Let's say 6-1 or 5-2 to finish. 12-4/11-5
Bengals:
at Ravens
v Browns
at Steelers
v Texans
at Rams
v Cardinals
v Ravens
...You know, I'm still not sure I take the Bengals seriously. So, let's say they go 4-3 over that stretch. 10-6.
So, that's coming out to something like:
Pats 13-3
Ravens 12-4/11-5
Jets: 11-5
Bengals: 10-6
"yay" for sneaking into the wildcard again (and if the Pats really do go 13-3 like that, another Divisional Round game against them in all likelihood).
I'm assuming the Jets beat the Bills again and effectively eliminate them from this discussion. I'm also assuming between the Falcons, Saints, and Texans that the Titans lose enough to also play themselves out of this.

Ha-ha, Eagles! Nobody likes you!
The Patriots are pretty schizophrenic so who knows, maybe they'll play down to the Eagles' level. And... KC's level. I don't know. Fuck these guys.
I could see them winning out or going under .500 to finish depending on which Ravens team shows up to these games.
They could conceivably lose a bunch of those games, in particular, against the Bengals, 49ers, and Chargers, depending on which version of the Chargers you see out there. Basically either the Bengals or Ravens are unlikely to hold on to their Wild Card slots because they both play each other and also they're both fairly mediocre.
I don't buy the Bengals myself (they're basically the 2010 Bucs, complete with 3-team division race) but I like Andy Dalton and would like to see him in the playoffs if at all possible. Definitely over the Ravens.
I'm assuming the Jets beat the Bills again and effectively eliminate them from this discussion.
This seems likely. The Bills also have a somewhat more difficult schedule than the Jets or Pats so it seems like they're not much of a threat at this point.
I'm also assuming between the Falcons, Saints, and Texans that the Titans lose enough to also play themselves out of this.
I still find it a little surreal that the Texans don't suck this year. What world is this? I don't understand!
But luckily the Titans are there to provide some memory of the world that used to be. By which I mean, the Titans are not very good. The Jets also hold a tiebreaker over them, I believe, so they're doomed barring some kind of divine intervention. And it's a known fact that God hates Tennessee.

This guy.
EDIT: Also, speaking of field goals, Colt McCoy wondered where all the bad luck was coming from when the Browns kicker missed a 22-yarder to give the game to the Rams. Kellen Moore just passed Colt McCoy's win record and is wondering the same thing. Moore-McCoy QB system for the Browns, anybody? Make it so!

I know I even accounted for them possibly blowing a game they shouldn't. Not this game. Not like that.
Most embarrassing Jets loss in years, by my memory. 45-3 was nothing compared to this. (Honestly, 45-3 never really bothered me any more than any other loss to the Patriots would. Sure it was prime "lol" material but it didn't make me think the Jets couldn't beat the Patriots or anything).
This was just such a pathetic performance. I have no idea what the defense was even thinking on that final drive. I almost feel bad "blaming" this on them given how awful the rest of the team was, but what the hell was that last drive?
As a side note, everyone needs to stop treating the Jets Defense like they're the same defense from the past two years. They way they've played this season they are not an elite defense. And yet week after week people act like they are. The Patriots last week, and I'm sure it'll happen again now.

How do you give up a 95-yard touchdown drive to a team whose coach just admitted they had to trim down the playbook to cut out passing plays because they "can't do all that other crap"?
You be the Jets. That's how!

The sad thing is, after the first NO game I fooled myself into thinking this team was going to take a step up from last year's "almost got there" and become a legitimate playoff contender. Instead they took a huge step back.
OF COURSE THEY DID. THEY ARE THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS.

Meanwhile, so long as Aaron GODgers can lead the Packers to continued victory, then this will have been a glorious week for the Jets. Literally would have every single team they needed to lose to gain control of their destiny lose this week, with at least two in dramatic fashion. (Alternate path: Broncos lose to Bears, but somehow I think the Packers are the more likely candidate)

As for the Jets, it's always pretty cool when you can cast your lots with the team currently on its way to an undefeated season. Looks like they're going to accomplish their time-honored tradition of sneaking into the playoffs somehow!
If the Bucs snuck into the playoffs, someone would call the cops.

Packers accepted the penalty and challenged, but it was still interesting to think about.

New best part of this game.
Raiders challenge that the Packers stepped out of bounds much further back on a kickoff return. They are clearly going to win this challenge.
"The replay system is malfunctioning, so there is no challenge. The Raiders will not be charged a timeout. The play stands."

I don't actually need the Broncos to lose anymore. But I think I might have to root for the Patriots anyway just because I need some team to prove to me that they can play competent football against the Broncos at the end of the game.
