...starts with Jacksonville. How about they go out and blow them out? That would increase their odds of making the playoffs and increase my confidence level in them actually making the playoffs all at the same time.

If the Dolphins lose to Jax, the odds for the Fins drop from almost nil, to completely impossible.

So what unlikely scenario does MIA need to make the playoffs now?

All I know (or think I know) is the Bengals cannot win a game for the rest of the year and Miami to win out. I'm sure there's about 3 other things that would have to happen as well.

I believe if the Jets win 2 of their last three, Miami would be eliminated as well. Currently (tonight's game pending) Miami is still behind PIT and NYJ. -EK

Mathmatically, yes. That's about it.  Grin

Presuming MIA wins out:

- CIN must lose out
- PIT must lose to CLE (they play CIN next week, so they have to win that)
- NYJ must lose to TEN+SD, or to BUF

The winner of next week's CIN@PIT game will almost certainly be the last playoff team.

Really Miami shouldn't worry about the playoffs, they should just try to win 8 games and prevent this from being the first 4 year streak of below .500 finishes for the franchise ever. That alone would be quite an accomplishment.

Just to have the Dolphins' logo on the screen when they're discussing playoff possibilities with 2 games left is a welcome change.  That hasn't happened since 2008.

In 2009, MIA was 7-7 and in a tie with 5 (!) other teams, one game back of the two wild-card teams at 8-6.  Of course, we all remember how that turned out.

Have a feeling this goes down to the final weekend.

Pitt will squeak by Cincy...while..

Miami crushes Buffalo....

Final weekend?Huh?....could definitely see:

Cincy losing to Baltimore &
Pitt getting swept by an upstart Cleveland team.....now can Miami go into Foxboro and steal one...highly unlikely, but you never know?

^^ Might depend on if the Patriots have anything to play for.  But, knowing Billy B, it won't matter either way.

Unfortunately (?), the MIA, PIT, and CIN games are all scheduled for the same time.  Otherwise, if PIT and CIN both lose, NE would be put in a position of potentially choosing their first-round opponent: MIA if the Patriots win, PIT if the Patriots lose.
