Yes.  There is a sernario if the Colts phins and Ravens all finish 11-5 the Colts are the odd team out.  Colts really need a Miami or Baltimore loss.

Yes. They beat us earlier this year. 
 

If we tie with the Dolphins, Ravens, and Browns, we don't make the playoffs. 
 

We have about a 60% chance to make the playoffs IMO. 
 

Ravens are in. Browns are in. IMO. They have easy remaining schedules. 
 

It comes down to Colts & Miami.

Good news Miami still has to play the Raiders and Buffalo.  

[bestQBever]

Miami plays @Raiders and @Bills. They'll probably beat the raiders but the Bills game could be an L assuming Buffalo has something to play for week 17

Ok...   look at the odds listed by Kevin Bowen.

 

Now look at all the posts leading up to that posts.   Colts fans seen to be saying we need help to make the playoffs.  
 

Kevin says with a win today (which we just got) we have a 96% chance to make the playoffs.   I don’t see that from our posters. 
 

What am I not understanding?   Something seems off in this thread.   

[Nesjan3]

I think the bigger question is can the Colts get over the hump in Pit and finally get a win against them at the most crucial point in the season where it really could mean playoffs or not.

I think those odds are assuming Miami or Baltimore lose at least one more game and with Miami’s schedule that’s a pretty good chance.  That or if the Colts just win out what other teams do doesn’t matter other than the Titans who finish with the Packers and Texans which are both winnable but could also be loses for the Titans.

I don't trust their percentages.

 

Unless Miami or Baltimore lose another game, 11-5 leaves us out of the playoffs.

 

Really need to beat PIT next week.

Miami won't beat Buffalo, so that is taken care of.

Yea those percentages are off. We need to beat  the Steelers  and jags to guarantee  a spot. Lose to Steelers and  we might not make it

I mean 5-30-8 know their stuff so if you’re gonna call out their numbers let’s see yours?

They aren’t off.  The only way the Colts don’t make the playoffs is if the Titans split or win out and the Ravens and Miami also win out and the Colts lose one or both of their remaining games.  When you factor in the teams these teams play those are pretty slim odds of happening.  Miami having to go to LV and Buffalo alone is huge for the Colts playoff odds.  These odds basically say the Colts aren’t a lock but it’s looking really good which it is.

If we lose to the Steelers  and the  ravens and dolphins  win next week those numbers plummet  big time. Considering our struggles  with the steelers and that I certain Miami  and the ravens will win next week I don't  trust the 90 percent  odds.

LV has Mariota at QB now, and their season is over.

 

Bills may be resting starters in week 17.

 

Miami has a legit shot to win out.

Our playoff hopes rest on beating the steelers and jags in my opinion. Don't  see the ravens  losing. Bills probably  rest their starters week 17 if we fail to beat the Steelers

The Bills won’t be resting their starters.  The Titans are on their heels for the 3 seed and the Titans own the tie breaker.  Also they are the Steelers heels for the 2 seed and they own the tie breaker over the Steelers.

Right... that’s the difference. In your opinion you’ve called the games as you feel fit. 
 

That’s different to working the probabilities.

The Bills won’t be resting their starters because they need to stay a head of the Titans.

 

Also your assuming everything will go wrong for the Colts.  Odds don’t do that.  Yes there is a scenario where it can happen but the reason the odds don’t like it is because there are many more odds where everything doesn’t go wrong for the Colts.

I hope you're right.

 

Not sure how important the 2 seed is vs the 3 seed this year, since only the 1 seed gets a bye.

Just win baby...

Playing in Buffalo rather than on the road is big, fans or not.

Of the three teams that could impact our play off chances the titans have the hardest schedule  assuming  texans play them tough

You’d rather be at home in the second round vs the 3 seed than going to their place. 
 

Still I’d rather the Colts just beat the Steelers and Jags and the Titans lose to the Packers or Texans and have a home playoff game.

Getting a 2 or 3 seed means you won't see the Chiefs until the AFC Title Game so it is big. A 2 seed means you will have HFA in the divisional round no matter what.

Which is why it’s not 100%.  No one is saying it’s a done deal they are just saying it’s more likely than some feel that the Colts will get to the playoffs.  Things can happen happen but I can think of one 11-5 team that’s missed the playoffs in recent memory and that’s the Pats the year Brady was hurt.  It just doesn’t happen.

The only advantage  of the 2 versus the 3 is a oiding the chiefs as long as possible

Well, there is a chance that both we and Titans lose the next week.
 

After that, We should win over the jags, and then Texans pull off a narrow win over Titans.

 

play offs sorted

And knowing you would only have to go on the road if you play the one seed in the AFCCG.  When you are talking about avoiding going to Pittsburgh that’s huge.  Add in getting those games in Buffalo where weather is very likely to be a factor it’s even more huge.

Hopefully  we beat the Steelers and I'll feel better  about our chances

Weirdly, I feel like we’d do okay in a bad weather game.

The Colts are built for bad weather games.  I wasn’t really talking about it from the Colts point of view though I was talking about it from why Buffalo would want the 2 seed rather than the 3.

[bleed blue4life]

Since we lost head to head against the ravens and browns will 11 and 5 still get u past Miami?
