Colts will be without leading tackler rest of regular season , but I still think they beat Houston to take first place next week . The problems they have after that is I doubt they can score much in Minnesota or enough in Oakland That would leave them @ 8 wins and a sweep on Titans & split with Houston.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...:nfl:clubhouseBroncos-Titans Is The Biggest Game Of Week 14
The NFL has its first playoff team! While the 11-1 Cowboys don’t quite have a lock on the NFC East title, they will at least make it as a wild card. They’ll now be playing for a bye and home-field advantage while the rest of the league fights for the remaining playoff spots.
For the last couple weeks, we’ve been using the model behind our 2016 NFL predictions to calculate how much each team’s playoff chances “swing” depending on the outcome of each game. For example, we currently give the Pittsburgh Steelers a 67 percent chance of making the playoffs. If they beat Buffalo this week, we project those chances will increase to 84 percent (independent of other games). If they lose, their chances drop to 53 percent.1 That’s a 31 percentage point swing! By doing this same math for every matchup and factoring in how each team’s resulting record will affect others’ playoff odds, we can find out which games are the most impactful.
Here are the top five for Week 14:
The Raiders, Chiefs and Broncos all won last week, and we now think it’s pretty likely that the West will take both AFC wild card slots. Tennessee has had a commendable bounceback season, but they’re in a tough playoff situation. The AFC West’s success means that even if the Titans run the table to end the season at 10-6, that might not be enough to make it as a wild card, and their 0-3 record against the Texans and Colts makes it unlikely that they’d win a division tiebreaker. We give them just an 11 percent chance of making the playoffs, much lower than the chances of Green Bay, Minnesota, Indianapolis and Houston, who all share the same 6-6 record.
As straightforward as it gets. Whichever team wins takes control of the AFC South and gets a big playoff boost. The Titans have an outside chance at the division but don’t really care who wins here.

Is there an official NBA thread? Klay Thompson scored 60 pts. last night and sat out the entire 4th quarter.
Bay Area pro football is peculiar. 49ers at the bottom of the NFC West. Raiders on top of AFC West.

Houstons problem is they cannot score . Averaging 17 points a game and going to Indy is fail. They have the best cheerleaders though.

If Denver loses, they will be three or four games behind the Raiders (depending on whether or not they beat the Chiefs Thursday) with three games remaining- out of a shot at the division. That leaves them fighting for the wild card. They will be two or three behind KC and facing a difficult final three games- Raiders, New England, and Kansas City. Denver probably needs at least two of their final four to get a wild card spot. Both Chief and Raiders currently hold any tie breakers vs Denver.
Big game about to start!

Raiders can't get it together on either side of the ball. Their weakness is the run game.

Well , Raiders have two timeouts , KC ball 2nd & 2 with 1:58 to play . I dunno who the Raiders thought they could beat with 13 points ......
Do something Danke
So , KC & Oakland will both be 10 - 3 it looks like ....
Do something Danke
And KC beat Oakland twice, so they are in the driver's seat now. With this loss, Oakland went from 1st seed in AFC to 5th.
Carr was so off it was crazy. Either the cold or his injured finger screwed him up. Should have put in McGloin.

Until you've mentioned the Lions, you've made this thread garbonzo. The Lions are gonna win the division and then host a playoff game that they'll likely win.
Geez I was off a day - was thinking this was still Wednesday.
Their QB Stafford is on the short list for MVP this season.

They are supposedly starting RGIII this week.

Alright , I will mention the Lions . Have not won a playoff game in 25 years , once lost a playoff game 5 - 0 . Once elected to kickoff in sudden death overtime. On the bright side , the defense is only giving up 17 a game past 6 games and they look to win the division . However , if they host the Giants or Vikings or Packers I would expect them to lose .
