Without using my Battle Red glasses I could see a 9-7 team getting the 2nd WC spot.

Denver or KC (more likely) will get the #1 WC spot.

There's a whole host of teams in the 2-4 win category that could get there @ 9-7.

I see a pulse, its pretty damn faint, but there's a shot. In order to do that, we'd have to beat the teams we are supposed to beat (5), which we've only done 2 out of 4, split with Indy (1), and steal one from NE or Den (1), who could be resting as early as week 16. That's the recipe for 9.

That "could" happen.

Will it? Unlikely, but there's still a glimmer of chance.....

If one of these other teams gets on a run to 10 games, we are pretty much toast, as I don't see even a remote chance of being better than 6-2 over the next 8.
