How Pittsburgh Can Still Qualify for the Postseason!

[Seanis00]

It all comes down to the final week with either Oakland beating Baltimore, or Kansas City beating Denver!

It can still happen if Pittsburgh win their two remaining games and the following happens!

Week 16:

Pittsburgh to beat Baltimore +++ See Week 17
Philadelphia to beat Denver +++ See Week 17
San Diego to beat Tennessee (knocks out Tennessee)
New England to beat Jacksonville (knocks out Jacksonville)
Miami to beat Houston (knocks out Houston)
Indianapolis to beat NY Jets (knocks out NY Jets)



Week 17:

Pittsburgh to beat Miami (knocks out Miami)

either:

Kansas City to beat Denver (knocks out Denver)
or
Oakland to beat Baltimore (knocks out Baltimore)

Which must be worth a few pennies E/W at 80/1!

Pittsburgh actually don't need either of these. If they win both games and the eagles beat denver, they'd have the tiebreaker over them.

Lot bigger than 80/1 on betfair

[Seanis00]

Tyranis - What you haven't taken into account is that if Denver and Baltimore won their last games there'd be 3 teams tied on 9 wins (Denver, Pittsburgh & Baltimore). In the event of 3 or more teams being tied, only the highest team from each division is taken into account, so it'd be Baltimore (ahead of Pittsburgh) and Denver that progress, irrespective of the fact that Pittsburgh have a better head to head over Denver. Pittsburgh can only qualify if either of those teams lose their last game AFTER each of the beforementioned results occur as well. Good start though! San Diego beating Tennessee.

JMGinley200 - This isn't an E/W bet though - you'd have to place 2 bets on Betfair - the win part at 80's which is better, then the place part (to reach Superbowl), which isn't as good as the bookmaker's half the odds (33's).

Cant see us making the playoffs. Would be nice though and hoping we can turn over the Dolphins on there own patch!

gonna be a stetch to see Houston lose against the patsies, NE bound to rest a few stars.

Oakland have started thinking about the draft and their mini revival has died off, Baltimore should have no problem here, rice will run riot.

Jets have cincy who will rest starters and won't want to see us come post season!

and we need to beat Miami, of course it will be another close run affair, as the dolphin D is fairly stout allround.

So we need 2 from 3 miricles and to win ourselves, highly unlikely!

We don't deserve it to be honest.

There is talk of Troy playing, bit risky in my opinion, is it worth it?

[Steeler39]

No! in a word. Not worth it.

We should already have an eye on next year as even if we do get to the playoffs, we will get shreaded by the Colts et al.
