I wish I could be at that game next week. I had written the chefs game off as a loss months ago, but not any longer. This is a game the Bengals can win and it's at home. Time to make a statement!

|High School Harry| Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 2 hours ago, AmishBengalFan said: Our magic number is TWO - any combination of Bengal wins and Steeler losses equaling two or more gives us the division. Furthermore, any Bengal win OR any loss by the Ravens or CFT will eliminate them, respectively. Remaining Schedule: Week 16: PIT at KCC Week 17: 1pm KCC at CIN, 4pm LAR at BAL , Monday: CFT at PIT Week 18: 1pm PIT at BAL, 1pm CIN at CFT (times may flex) Fastest way to the division: PIT loses to KCC, we beat KCC. I give up. I guess I missed it. Why the CFT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishBengalFan Posted December 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Chiefs rape the Stealers, 36-10 32 more rows deleted. There are five games left, 32 combinations. CIN (9-6, 4-1) 25/32 = 78% (Clinch with one win OR with one loss by all three division foes) BAL (8-7, 1-4) 2/32 = 6% (Eliminated with one loss OR one CIN win) PIT (7-7-1, 2-2) 2/32 = 6% (Eliminated with one loss OR one CIN win) CFT (7-8, 2-2) 3/32 = 10% (Eliminated with one loss OR one CIN win) Remaining Games: Week 17: KCC at CIN, LAR at BAL, CFT at PIT Week 18: PIT at BAL, CIN at CFT Spreadsheet: Columns: A = Division Champ B-C = Week 16 Results D-H = Week 17-18 Games I-L = Wins for each team (BLUE = Outright Champ, GREEN = Champ on Tiebreak, YELLOW = Tied but loses on Tiebreak M = Maximum # of Wins N = # of teams with Max # of Wins (if N=1, outright champ, if N>1, tiebreaker required) O-R = # of Division Wins S = Tiebreak Used T-W = # of Common Opponent Wins (not used in tiebreakers, all tiebreaks settled before we get this far) X-AA = # of Conference Wins (not used in tiebreakers, all tiebreaks settled before we get this far) Note: For ties involving CIN/BAL, BAL is eliminated on 0-2 sweep. For ties (now) involving CIN/CFT, CIN is eliminated on 0-2 sweep because the only way this tie can happen is if CFT runs the table (beating us) while we lose out. BAL win the North on Rows 17+21, where they run the table (BAL>LAR + BAL>PIT and we lose out KCC>CIN + CFT>CIN. The CFT/PIT game has no impact on BAL) PIT win the North on Rows 11+19, where they run the table (PIT>CFT + PIT>BAL and we lose out KCC>CIN + CFT>CIN. The LAR/BAL game has no impact on PIT) CFT win the North on Rows 7, 9+15, where they win the table (CFT>PIT + CFT>CIN, we lose to KCC, and BAL loses at lest once [to LAR or PIT]) CIN win the North in every other scenario Note also: The loser of CFT/PIT next week is eliminated The loser of PIT/BAL the last week is eliminated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishBengalFan Posted December 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 1 hour ago, High School Harry said: I give up. I guess I missed it. Why the CFT? Cleveland Football Team. The team named "Browns", founded by the Father of Football, is in Baltimore now. The current "Browns" are the Al Lerner Browns, wearing throwback uniforms and a 1946 patch honoring the Paul Brown Browns, who they played twice this year, once in the city where the Paul Brown Browns were founded and once where the Paul Brown Browns currently play. To avoid the confusion of a 22-season-old team claiming 75 years of history, I just refer to them as what they are... the football team playing in Cleveland.

membengal Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 I believe we want Pittsburgh to beat Cleveland next week to take Cleveland off the board and then ravens to beat Stealers in last game and if so we are in even if we don’t win another game assuming ravens lose to rams next week. or, just beat KC and clinch the damn thing next week.

Gary Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 We most likely still make playoffs even if we finish 10-7 (if we won a game and lost a game). http://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/machine Like messing with the playoff machine.

Nope. A Cleveland loss means a Steeler win and that would mean that they're back to a half game behind us with one to play. I think the only way we clinch next week (with a loss to KC) is if Clev and Pitt tie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
