Playoff Predictor/Simulator (538): Colts #11 in AFC, and 38% of chance of playoffs

Ravens should be done tomorrow. So that hopefully eliminates  browns and Ravens.

A ravens loss doesn’t knock them thanks in large part to their tie breaker over the Colts. Now if the Colts win tonight that helps them probably avoid that tie breaker scenario.

I know bur it helps. They have a very hard schedule left. Plus there is going to be several teams with the same record still after tomorrow. Won’t come down to head to head yet.

My understanding of the tie breaker is that the Colts are 5th and the Ravens are lower than us in the playoff standings.  

Even though they beat us head to head, we’re above them because they have a worse record in the Conference than we do.   So the Ravens don’t have the benefit of their win against us.   
 

Apologies if I have misunderstood your comment. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

One more win most likely. Hopefully we get it next week. Covid has to be done. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Titans failed to clinch the division with this win lol.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Never mind.

This might be an unpopular opinion but barring any major Covid complications for Nelson or Leonard these 2 weeks off are going to do wonders for their nagging injuries. As long as we have everyone for the playoffs it’s going to be a heck of a ride.

I was thinking the same. At least we know they won’t be tested for a bit too.

Your right. Plus they get a covid holiday. 
 

I just saw someone say Wentz should get covid now then come back for jax so he can get a covid holiday. Lol

I was thinking the same thing. Get the sniffles this Sunday, Wentz, so that you miss only 1 game . 

[GoColts8818]

Basically the only way the Colts miss the playoffs at this point is finish 9-8 and lose out on the tie breaker to the Ravens, Bengals, or have the Steelers finish a half a game in front of them because of their tie.  I just want the playoff simulator.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

A win tomorrow for pats would put colts a game ahead with the tiebreaker over the bills.

It’s huge that these guys will get a covid holiday. Now we just need to hold Wentz donr get it.

We can beat the raiders with one of our backups and Taylor I think. Lol

That's honestly not the worse thing in the world to happen for the Colts especially if the Steelers + Ravens lose tomorrow

[JediXMan]

Something to keep an eye on later on.

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

If Carr goes on Covid-19 list we could face the mighty Pete man  

[2006Coltsbestever]

What if it was Sam vs Pete  next week?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

With that Texans Chargers score if Bengals win against ravens colts have a easy path to playoffs now. Next week will be fun when we clinch. Carr is vaccinated so he would probably be cleared before Sunday but worth to keep a eye on.

Oh wow. 

[Colts1324]

I'm pretty confident that the Jaguars are going to give us the win Week 18, so they can clinch the No. 1 overall pick. 
 

Playoffs are looking very good for us. Now, we just need to make sure we get the 5th or 6th seed 

[SurfinKal]

Houston putting it to the Chargers. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If Colts are locked into a 5 seed after a raiders win how much to rest starters? How much does Sam play.

[IrsaysArmy]

If Patriots lose this game. How does that effect their playoff picture

[JediXMan]

Bills are the 4th seed now don't like that lol.

Well forget that it let me see it free earlier.  Easiest way in is to just win the last two games.  There are some complicated scenarios that can get them in with beating the Raiders.

[JediXMan]

I just realized if Dolphins win tomorrow they get the 7th seed. AFC is absolutely nuts this year lol.

Which is strange because they'll have the same record as the raiders and they lost to them this season

Wow that is crazy. They were 1-7. They have a good chance too. Good thing colts have the tiebreaker. I wonder if it’s teams are mediocre or just more good teams beating up on each other.

It’s all those teams that are tied with same record. Ravens are in that mix. It’s like how can colts have to go to bills when we beat then 41-15. 

[JediXMan]

 

 

Covid really throwing a monkey wrench on so many teams playoff chances.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Never mind 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts probably need dolphins to lose to Saints  tonight and Titans next week.

Nah. That game gets played at same time as ours I believe so let Titans win. Of course if we win yesh Titans loss would be great but we can’t afford it if we lose.
