AFC Playoffs

(1/5) > >>

Shallow:
NFL.com says

1. Colts
2. Chargers
3. Pats
4. Bengals
5. Jets
6. Ravens


I'm curious as to why NE is over Cinci and NYJ are over Bal. Both Cinci and Baltimore have better division records and there's no head to head matches. Why is the seeding in this order?

white Boy:
hmm, i dont get it either

Jaydc:
Im kinda curious as well.

Shallow:
At least I'm not alone. The reason I noticed is because the best bet for the Colts was to face the Ravens and Jets and I can't see the Jets beating the Chargers so I wanted Baltimore in the 5 seed. The Ravens I believe have the ability to shut down the Chargers and score on them. I see both Wildcards winning next week in the AFC. Unless Cinci was hiding something up there sleeve in an attempt to surprise the Jets next week I can't see them winning. And no Welker should be the difference in the Pats/Ravens game. I'd prefer Indy not seeing SD or NE at all. SD because they can walk right over that D line and NE because if they do happen to win that's Brady winning over Manning and I obviously don't even like the possibility of that. I'll take the ring on the finger over the strength of victory at this point.

And Dallas is the only team I worry about for Indy in the Superbowl, because of the size of their lines.

Teddy Roosevelt:
The Patriots and Bengals have the same conference record (7-5), so the tie breaker is based on games against common opponents.  The Patriots record is 2-3 while the Bengals are 1-3. Same for the Jets and Ravens. Both have a conference record of 7-5, but their record against common opponents is Jets 4-0 and Ravens 1-4. Division records only matter if they are in the same division.
