Just who do you think the Browns can beat in the payoffs?

I definitely expect them to beat the Ratbirds the next 2 games. They are by far, the most overrated, luckiest team to ever play a game.

As I've said around 100 times or so, I'd rather be lucky than good... Like winning a Super Bowl catching the ball on your helmet.   

The Browns best (possibly only) path to the playoffs is sweeping the Division.  When it comes to tiebreakers, the Patriots, Chiefs, and Chargers all have head to head tiebreakers on us. NOT GOOD.   

[Unsympathetic]

I like cheese.  And optimism!

At least our CB's are balling out this year.. each of Greedy, Greg, and Denzel are performing better than any of the rest of the DB group.  Of course, this means our assumed-to-be-sound FA's have been.. not great.  AJ Green is actually outperforming Troy Hill to date, so the priority UDFA investment was a good bet.

Agree. Let's see if they can win Sunday. If they do then maybe we can discuss. Otherwise we are in for a losing season and no playoffs.

NFL standings for Week 12

Updated AFC playoff picture up to 4pm games

Who would be in?

1. Baltimore Ravens (7-3), first place, AFC North. The Ravens rallied without Lamar Jackson and Marquise Brown to survive in Chicago to maintain the lead in the division. They also put more heat on the losing Titans and stayed ahead of the winning Patriots, which they can do with a win in Week 12. They draw the Browns on Sunday night. Remaining schedule: vs. CLE, at PIT, at CLE, vs. GB, at CIN, vs. LAR, vs. PIT

2. *New England Patriots (8-4), first place, AFC East. The Patriots matched the Bills' result of Week 12 to jump back on top in the division by a half-game. They are behind the Ravens with a lesser winning percentage having played more two games. Their win over the Titans gave them the tiebreaker for No, 2, too. Remaining schedule: vs. BUF, BYE, at IND, vs. BUF, vs. JAX, at MIA

3. *Tennessee Titans (8-4), first place, AFC South. The Titans slipped from No. 1 with their loss to the Patriots, falling a full game behind the Ravens and and staying only a half-game ahead of the Chiefs, whom they beat earlier in the season, along with the Bills. The Titans still don't need to worry about the Remaining schedule: BYE, vs. JAX, at PIT, vs. SF, vs. MIA, at HOU

4. Kansas City Chiefs(bye) (7-4), first place, AFC West. The Chiefs stayed here after beating the Cowboys because they lost to both the Titans and Ravens and the Patriots have the superior conference record, too. A win was huge to keep staying ahead of the Chargers. The Chiefs get a much-needed bye in Week 12. Remaining schedule: vs.DEN, vs. LV, at LAC, vs. PIT, at CIN, at DEN

5. *Cincinnati Bengals (7-4), second place, AFC North. The Bengals have surged back into wild-card and division playoff contention with key consecutive big wins over the Raiders and Steelers after the bye. They beat the Ravens on the road earlier and can end up in first place if the Ravens lose to the Browns. They hold the tiebreaker for this spot over the Bills with a better conference record. There is nothing easy left on the slate, however. Remaining schedule: vs. LAC, vs. SF, at DEN, vs. BAL, vs. KC, at CLE

6. *Buffalo Bills (7-4), second place, AFC East. The Bills dropped down here after their win over the Saints because the Patriots responded by taking care of the Titans. They will get their shot to catch and pass the Patriots next Monday night. Other than New England twice, Buffalo has a big challenge left against Tampa Bay. Remaining schedule: vs. NE, at TB, vs. CAR, at NE, vs. ATL, NYJ.

7. *playing, down 7 to Den...Los Angeles Chargers (6-4), second place, AFC West. The Chargers outlasted the Steelers in Week 11 to stay in playoff position and a half-game behind the Chiefs in the division. Justin Herbert gives them a chance every week and Brandon Staley remains on his coach of the year path. Remaining schedule: at DEN, at CIN, vs. NYG, vs. KC, at HOU, vs. DEN, at LV

Who can get there?

8. *Las Vegas Raiders (6-5)
9. Cleveland Browns (6-5)
10. *Pittsburgh Steelers (5-5-1)
11. *playing LAC up 7...Denver Broncos (5-5)
12. *Indianapolis Colts (6-6)

*= Played

The Raiders won to help themselves in Week 12, while the Steelers and Colts lost to fall behind them. The Raiders hold the tiebreaker over the Browns with a better conference record.(head to head, coming) The Browns and Broncos have a big opportunity in their later games of Week 12.
