That makes sense since the scenario assumes Dallas as a 4 seed and Arizona as a 3 seed, which I figure is the way it plays out.
Either way, a potential GB/ARZ playoff game could easily be the most entertaining opening round, if not the entire playoffs game....
I see the Bengirls going into Viqueen land and leaving with a W. The way that defense keeps stepping up, Brett and AP will have their hands full....
Some might think that there is 9-team scrum for the wildcards spots in the AFC, HOWEVER: PITT, TENN, HOUS do not have tiebreakers, so they are seriously out of the picture even if they finish 9-7.
MIA has tiebreaker over NE at the moment and the JETS have no tiebreakers.
BALT beat DEN and has an advantage over MIA in the tiebreaker.
DENVER could easily fall out of it.
