I saw this somewhere:

 

JAX defeats NO
DEN defeats CIN
MIA defeats NE
BUFF defeats NYJ
BALT defeats CIN
JAX defeats HOU
INDY defeats TENN
DEN defeats SD

This doesn't bode well for us

 

I just confirmed it here:

 

Playoff Machine

 

Plug in the above and the Colts win the division.

 

Not likely to happen but anything is possible.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic, but the Colts have virtually no shot of winning an 8-8 tie.

Not even sure I would want to win the division at 8-8, feels like crap peddled into the playoffs. We are better then that.

Yes... If you're assuming Jags beat the Saints (doesn't look good early).

 

If Saints beat Jags we need Raiders to beat Chiefs plus the teams you named.

 

If the Saints win and the Raiders win, we'd also need a Miami win

If Colts win next week and Texans lose, tied at 8-8. 

Current strength of schedule is Houston 26, Colts 23. 

Texans win total is increased with wins by NO, NYJ and Cincy,

Colts win total is increased with wins by Denver, Atlanta and Miami. You can do the math from the remaining games below. Pretty sure this is all correct, but not 100% sure. 

 

Games still to be played:

 

JAX vs NO

Cincy vs Denver

 

NO vs ATL

SD vs Denver

NYJ vs Buff

NE vs Miami

Balt vs Cincy

It's true. Who cares about draft picks. Picking 14th or 17th, whatever...you root for your team to win. I know, "[nasally voice] but a higher pick will..." I got it. If that's a fortunate side effect of losing, then fine, whatever. But actively cheering for your team to lose, especially when they can make the playoffs, is for the birds...

LOL, come on you should have known as soon as we lost to the Texans that our season was over!   IF not then it should have been obvious as soon as we signed Stephen Morris as a QB ... it is pretty clear that Luck will not be playing again until next season.

    • Come on now…  Lamar Jackson is a two time NFL MVP.   Justin Fields is entering his 4th season, and he wasn’t terrible with Chicago.    Anthony Richardson started 4 games for the Colts.  He’s thrown just 84 total passes.   We’re all pulling for the kid to succeed,  but he’s got a lot to prove before  anyone can credibly say AR is better than Fields or Jackson.    There are plenty of questions to be asked and the answers wont come until early next year.    We all could be having an entirely different conversation next off-season.    
    • People saying he was a run first QB never watched his college tape. I won't lead the witness, but you can make some basic assumptions as to why people believed that.   IMO, his actual football problems coming into the league were:   - bad footwork. Made him have some inconsistent, wild throws at times. - not that great at making easy, short passes. The layups, essentially.     I'd say in the short sample we saw last year, that the latter issue he dramatically improved on. For the former, there were still some erratic throws (when he missed, he really missed), but he also showed progress there a s well (his completion percentage in the NFL was 59.5 vs 53.7 in his one year starting at college. It's usually the opposite trend for most rookies)   I'm absolutely on board on AR becoming a franchise QB, the only issue he has is proving he can stay healthy. I also don't think calling out two minor injuries vs one major injury is enough to call injury prone, but he has to prove it all the same.
    • He can’t as you pointed out those contracts are more or less slotted.
    • No , he is not holding out for first round money. Those days are long gone.
    • Part of me wishes AD gets 88. I like what Dallas does with their 88.
