I believe if the Texans win against the Rams, they will still be mathematically alive...i.e. some other teams victory can't eliminate the Texans at this point unless the Texans eliminate themselves...
Baltimore, I'd say, is the favorite among this bunch. They may very well end up 10-6....

Jets lost today and Miami lost against the Titans. Now they are all even at 7-7.... I hope the Colts go for the undefeated season so they can bring their A game vs the Jets. If we beat Miami then we go ahead of them. What about the Titans? If they end up 9-7 also then who gets the advantage? Hard to believe the Titans are 7-7 after 0-6. That team is gonna be a tough one to beat if they make the playoffs.
Teams in playoff hunt that are still playing right now are the Ravens and the Steelers

Essentially, we are one game behind Denver and Baltimore and tied with a bunch of teams at 7-7. This gets pretty easy to figure:
Win both remaining games and hope the tiebreakers shake out in your favor. That'll be tough because some teams (Jacksonville and Tennessee included) have the tiebreakers over us. But anything can happen when the NFL calculators start crankin'.

Hopefully someone can re-crank out the possibilities. I just like to know what would have to happen, even though I know it's not gonna happen.

Games this coming week
- Jets(7-7) @ Indy- Hopefully the Colts go for the undefeated season - Ravens (8-6) @ Pittsburgh (7-7)- Who should we be rooting for here? And why? - Chargers @ Titans (7-7)- This game is on Friday and the Chargers are undefeated in December since 2006. Hopefully that streak continues. - Jaguars (7-7) @ Patriots- Im hoping that the good Patriots show up for this game. - Broncos (8-6) @ Eagles- Broncos are on a downslide so they can probably lose this game also. - Texans (7-7) @ Miami (7-7)- Dolphins are probably pissed by the way they lost so this is gonna be a tough game. This game is HUGE for the Texans so i hope they dont vlow it. All we have to do is win one game at a time.... It starts with Miami Last edited by Fonz the Boss; 12-21-2009 at 12:24 PM.

CBS Sportsline runs thru all the scenarios.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/standin...race/scenarios Our tiebreaker situation is horrendous.......IF we win these last two. I think both wild cards will end up 9-7, but division/conference record....not so good for the home team. BUT, there is a chance

perhaps an unlikely scenario is if we win our last two and everyone but Baltimore Ravens looses two we might have a chance. Otherwise, do we hold a tie breaker over anybody? actually everyone would have to loose atleast one and Denver has to loose two. ah, anyways, slim chance but its possible.

On one hand it's nice still being in the running this late in the season despite the long odds. But on the other hand, it's extremely frustrating that this team couldn't just take care of business early on and taken advantage of a fairly easy schedule and year in which the non-Division leaders in the AFC all suck. This season was our best chance ever at making the playoffs.

I haven't seen this discussed much so I am probably wrong, but Cincinnati losing their next two games (which are vsKC and @NYJ, so probably not likely) could be beneficial to the Texans as well since the Texans beat the Bengals this year. Right? The head-to-head tiebreaker here might not be as helpful though since there will likely be more than two teams at 9-7.
Makes me wonder if the Ravens winning over the Steelers might be not such a bad thing if the Bengals somehow find a way to keep their losing streak going against the Chiefs then Jets (assuming the Jets also lose to Indy this weekend). Ugh, I feel a headache coming on.

This is all contingent upon us winning out, of course:
Next Week: We need SD to beat Tenn, Indy to beat NYJ, Philly to beat Denver. Surprisingly, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't matter what happens in the Pitt/Baltimore game because one of them will lose and it will kill any of their tie-breakers against us. If the scenario above happens, which I think there's a good chance of it playing out that way, we would need: Week 17: Us to beat NE in the final and Denver would have to lose to .... ugh ... KC at home.

And, though unlikely we get to playoffs, first time since 93 Houston has had a team in the conversation for a playoff spot in the NFL. And there are like 13 other team in NFL who can't say that. And 9-7 Cardinals made it to SuperBowl last year. So, come on team, you gotta win the part we can control and see what happens.

I really don't see why people waste their time trying to calculate what it would take for the Texans to make the playoffs. At best we are in for another 8-8 season. That won't cut it. Again, our playoffs ended when we blew 4 straight division games in a row. Beating Seattle and St. Louis after that losing streak doesn't change anything. We are still the same mediocre Texans trying our best to reach .500 and stay out of the cellar of the AFC south. And that is after the Titans started out 0-6.

You guys need to quit inhaling the paint.
First off, we will lose to both Miami and New England. Secondly, we can't beat a single team mentioned in Fonz the Boss' post. We BARELY beat St Louis...barely. Snap out of it.

Week 16:
San Diego has to beat Tennessee Philly has to beat Denver Houston has to beat Miami Indianapolis has to beat New York New England has to beat Jacksonville Doesn't matter what happens in Baltimore/Pittsburgh Week 17: Houston has to beat New England Kansas City has to beat Denver ....honestly? I'd put it at about a 20% shot.
