Okay! here are the Jets playoff scenarios:Most important thing is to win vs MIA otherwise they lose their edge in division record and in conference record which is vital in any tie-breaker situation!
To win the division:
a) Win both games - simple!
b) lose vs SEA win over MIA; Pats need to lose to ARI or BUF (hold tie-breaker with MIA in head-to-head)
c)win vs SEA lose to MIA; MIA to lose to KC; Pats need to lose to either ARI or BUF; then it goes to best record among the three..Jets 2-2...MIA 2-2, Pats 2-2..then it goes to division record(if Pats lose to BUF then they are out) otherwise all tied at 4-2; then it goes to best record in common games and your on ur own there...
To win the wildcard:
Only team that is realistic is the Ravens (since Colts have 2 game lead on Jets) and if tied with Pats or Phins then division rules apply so see above..
a)As of now they are both tied in Conf record at 7-4..that is first tie-breaker..so if Jets lose to SEA and Ravens lose to JAX then Jets get in..
b) If tied in Conf record then goes to common games in which they have played:
CIN: Jets win; Ravens 2 wins
OAK: Jets lose; Ravens win
TEN: Jets win; Ravens lose
MIA: Jets 2 wins (if they win last game); Ravens win
So as you can see the Dolphin game comes in again, so it is a must win..
c) If common games is tied then it goes to Strength of Victory in which i believe it means points for subtract points against...in that case as of now the Jets are +66 and the Ravens are +112 so we lose there...
I hope I didn't lose you!
IF THE SEASON ENDED TODAY:
Titans - Bye and Home Field throughout playoffs
Steelers - Bye
Ravens @ Jets
Colts @ Broncos
