So, at best, we go 1-3 the rest of the way.
I give you 2-2. I think you're going to beat the Titans. And I think you'll beat either the Raiders or the Chiefs. Division games rarely go the same way twice. We did play really well against you guys last time, but honestly, that's the single best game we've played all season. I wish we could play like that all the time! I doubt we'll see that again. I mean, I hope, but I doubt it.
So 2-2 would put you at 10-6. With that record, you might need some help from outside the division to go as a wildcard... oh, Dolphins and Steelers/Ravens are only one game back. Wow, you're right, this won't be easy. But all this hinges on you beating the Titans. If you don't beat them, you're effectively out. Hmm... betting odds favor the Titans by one point. I think there's some money to be made there! LOL, I don't bet on games. Except when I'm in Vegas, of course.
(with KC, NE, Chargers, and Broncos...my guess is you'll beat KC, lose to NE, beat the Chargers and beat us) - so you'll go 3-1
I just checked our schedule... we don't have NE. We have the Colts. Is that right? Wow, I'd actually rather play NE. I hope we face them in the playoffs. That's a game I really want to see. On average I think we lose because of our defense, but a good performance could collapse the pocket on Brady and give us the win. But they are a machine.
I give us... I can't even call it. I will be sad with 2-2 and ecstatic with 3-1. We're going to struggle with all these games. We will start the fourth quarter behind, that's almost a given. So can we come back... yet again? It's so nerve racking to watch these games! Honestly, Denver was our only solid win. I'm glad we don't face the Browns. We would probably be their one win. Ugh!
But, ya never know, and that's why they play the game right?
Absolutely! Good luck to us both this weekend!
Anyway, thanks for chiming in/commiserating! LOL
Hey, any time! I'm just glad you're welcoming a rival! Actually, outside of a football context, I find that football usually brings people together, even rivals. I'm just so glad we're a playoff contender this season. It's been well over a decade! Oh, and I've felt every year. Although, year before last was a good one. We went 3-13, but we beat the Niners! Ah, still savoring that one!
If we don't make it, kick the pants off NE and win the SuperBowl!
You bet! And be sure to beat KC for us. If we lose to them, we will be tied but they have the tie breaker. So we would need some help.
Wow, Oakland-New England and Oakland-Dallas would both be great games! Don't get me started! We still have to get through the AFC West regular season, and then the AFC West postseason. KC is going to make it, you know they will. And with some help, Denver too!
Good talking to you. Let's see how this week goes. These are extremely important games for both Denver and Oakland. Good luck!
