New commenter Justin provided this AMAZINGLY entertaining link to the Yahoo! NFL Playoff Generator. You can mess with pretty much anything on it to see who would and wouldn’t make the playoffs in different scenarios. The good news? There are several ways in which the Titans can make the playoffs. However, there are a few definitives, from what I could see:
- Either Baltimore or Denver has to lose out if Pittsburgh wins out.
- If Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and the Titans finish 9-7, the Titans are the odd man out.
- Miami is the odd man out in several scenarios, that seems to be the one team the Titans can beat out.
- In a very odd scenario, if Pittsburgh beats Baltimore then loses to Miami followed by the Ravens beating Oakland (not much of a reach there), followed by Denver losing out, then the Ravens and Dolphins are in and the Titans and Steelers are 9-7 teams that are out.
- Get crazy enough and you can break it. I found a way to where the Steelers would play as the 5th and 6th seed at the same time!! Now that would be insanity.
Anyways, go crazy. It provides several scenarios I have never thought of. Of course, ALL of this is moot if the Titans can’t win on Christmas Day. If you want, post some of the weird scenarios you find in the comments. I shall do the same.
What a year.
