Playoff update
The Colts are much closer to a playoff spot now than I realized and are on the verge of controlling their own destiny, but not quite there
Dolphins lost today.
So tied with Baltimore, Titans for the last spot, but then Pitt is only a half game up on the division/WC race and could be easily overtaken for both.
Play the titans week 17, need to win that one, basically a week 17 playoff game there, lose and you're out.
I believe the Colts just need to :
Win their last two games, puts the Titans out AND
A single loss sometime between now and the end of the season by Pitt OR Baltimore. Then the Colts will be ahead of one of the two of them and the other team will win the division, most likely. (Cleveland still with an outside shot)
Pitt has NE right now and NO next week.
Baltimore has SD next week. And Cleveland, no pushovers now
It is looking good, two winnable games left basically to make the 6th spot.
