Seeding Scenarios




Seeding Probabilities (assuming full strength team/no starters rested)

 

[balmainforever]

 

[aussiedude]

Saints/Falcons at 1PM
Arizona/Seattle 4:25 on Fox

 

[aussiedude]

looks like the teams are leaking the week 18 schedule. Bills, Falcons, Texans, Arizona have all leaked game times

 

[aussiedude]

Full schedule.

 

[aussiedude]

didnt expect the Packers to be a late game. also thought the NFC East would be early since they are both s**t games.

 

[aussiedude]

dont get the Ravens/Pitt game. Ravens can just rest everyone, unless they think the Ravens will want to win for rivalry reasons and block the Steelers from playoffs

 

[drd23]

Apologies to those using Dark Mode as this image renders terribly

Did you just out yourself as a light mode heathen?

Did you just out yourself as a light mode heathen?

Nope

[kaiserchief13]

So if Buffalo win they're the 2 seed but lose and no playoffs?

Don't understand why Eagles and Dallas aren't on at 1pm same time as Lions

 

[balmainforever]

So if Buffalo win they're the 2 seed but lose and no playoffs?

Not quite.
Bills are out if miami jags and pitt all win

 

[kaiserchief13]

Not quite.
Bills are out if miami jags and pitt all win

Ravens will rest their starters surely. Steelers and Jags should win

 

[aussiedude]

the Sunday early and late windows dont really have any standout games. perfect for Redzone if your team isnt playing.

 

[aussiedude]

Ravens will rest their starters surely. Steelers and Jags should win

Ravens will prob plan on playing the starters about half. 2 weeks off for some is too long. anyone banged up wont play. Jackson will prob be rested.

 

[Exe Gesis]

In the final week they used to play about 14 games all at the same time, same day. With a couple games in the late window on the same day still. So all playoff spots and seeds were in flux.

Staggering the games across two days and three different time slots will spoil most of the playoff spot/seed intrigue

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Ravens will rest their starters surely.

Last time they rested players in week 18 (week 17 back then) with the #1 seed secure they came out sloppy and lost to the Titans easily and were one and done. Doubt Harbaugh does it like that again.

 

[LittleG]

Last time they rested players in week 18 (week 17 back then) with the #1 seed secure they came out sloppy and lost to the Titans easily and were one and done. Doubt Harbaugh does it like that again.

Likely to see Jackson for a quarter and Huntley the rest of the way.

The secondary is quite banged up, so they are missing most of the starters anyway (not that the backups aren’t decent).

 

[Exe Gesis]

Was reading playoff scenarios for all the relevant teams, with the idea of pasting it in here.....but each one is like a war and peace novel in itself.

 

[revo333]

So looks like Chiefs v Fins week 1

I'm glad it's simple for the Colts.

Win and we are in!
