Playoff Scenario Generator

I really think the AFC North ended up way overrated by playing the two worst divisions in football for half of their schedule (AFC South and NFC West). All of their defensive stats were inflated playing 7 bad offenses, and they got 6 easy games and only 2 real ones.

I was not shocked by the Broncos win because both teams tended to play close games, and neither score that much. Tebow is pretty tough in those situations. And Cincy was this year's version of Tampa.

Baltimore was clearly the class of that division (they went 6-0 in the division), but they are about as Jeckyl and Hyde a team as there is in the NFL. They are occasionally great, and occasionally flat. Unfortunately for us, they are usually great at home.

Given the state of the AFC right now, if we had Schaub (not to mention Mario, etc...), I would make us a favorite to reach the superbowl even with our flaws. Oh well.

If the Texans play two halves of football that resemble Saturday's second half there is no reason why they cannot beat anyone in the AFC.

If you are in the playoffs, then 2 halves of your best football almost always equals a win. We have no margin for error right now (not like NE who can spot the opponent 21 and still be 50/50 to win).

Also heard that Patriots hadn't beat one team with a winning record this year, so far.

Anyways I think it would be great if the AFC championship game was in Houston.
