Look at the Broncos schedule and Patriots Schedule

Broncos: Bills, Chargers, Bengals, Raiders

Patriots: Chargers, Dolphins, Jets, Bills

Each of these teams have 3 games against guys we really need to lose, especially the Bills.

As Corso would say- not so fast my friend. Not likely, but it could happen. Browns win out- we're 11-5. That eliminates the Ravens. Bengals only loss is to the Browns- their record, 11-4-1, win division. Eliminates Steelers. BUT- if the Chargers win out they're 12-4, and if the Dolphins win out- 11-5, they knock out the Browns on better conference record- just like I just said. The best the Browns can finish in the conference is 7-5. And if we wind up tied with the Bills, we'll lose that one on head- to- head. A little early to be thinking about the permutations of three way ties.

If the Browns go 11-5, I think almost for certain they make the playoffs. Only 2 teams in the history of the 16 game schedule did not make the playoffs at 11-5: mid-80 Broncos and like 2008 Patriots.

Their best shot is win the division. It means win out, and hope the Steelers and Bengals split.
