Schedule prediction for next week…

A lot will depend on what happens today but I’ll throw this out there now don’t be surprised if either the Dolphins or Colts lose today with the 2 Saturday games next week at 430 and 8 if the Steelers and Bengals are the first game and the Broncos and Chiefs are the 8:00 game. I could see the NFL doing this now with the Bengals needing to win first to stay alive and then needing the Broncos to lose the game to the Chiefs to get in as the 7 seed. So we’ll see how it all shakes out but it won’t surprise me if these are the 2 games that are flexed to Saturday next week if either the Dolphins lose to the Browns or the Colts lose to the Giants today.

 

So since MNF is meaningless for AFC we have to wait until around 7:00 tonight for results that matter to us. Wonder how soon we'll know schedule for week 18??

 

I thought the last week all teams played the same time so that teams couldn’t rest people based on other games outcomes?

 

With my luck, Bengals game will be flexed to 8:30 PM, Sunday night. I hate night games.

 

I see it now there will be 2 games on Saturday and the rest Sunday afternoon and one Sunday night. I thought they avoided that to not makes games meaningless based on other outcomes. For example if they make us the Sunday night game and the Broncos and Ravens win beforehand the game means nothing.

 

My guess is Steelers vs Bengals game will be Saturday.

Both a Steelers or Bengals WIN, would not settle anything for the Playoff picture. Leaving both the Ravens and Broncos game meaningful.

I wonder if the NFL will reach out to the Chiefs before they announce the schedule to see if they are going to play their starters. Broncos vs Chiefs seem like a good Sunday Night game, if KC plays their starters.

 

They should have Bengals, Steelers, Broncos, Chargers, and Dolphins all play at the same time on Sunday.

Teams not in the playoffs should play Saturday and Monday as to not give any playoff teams an advantage or disadvantage.

 

There is no Sunday night game next week NFL Network reported the Chiefs will rest their starters next week.

 

The #7 seed comes down to the Broncos, Dolphins and Bengals. If all 3 win the Broncos get in. If all 3 lose the Broncos still get in. If the Broncos lose, the Dolphins win and the Bengals win then the Dolphins get in. The only way the Bengals get in is if the Broncos and Dolphins both lose and they beat us next week.

 

MIN@DET is at 8:20pm Sunday.
