Bitne utakmice za playoff danas:

Dolphins (9-5) @ Bills (7-7) - Billsi su 7-7 i sanse ne postoje za playoff, jer jedno je mjesto rezervirano za vrlo vjerojatno Raiders/Chiefs, dok su Phinsi ispred njih, no oni mogu uvijek ici da "pokvare planove" svojim divizijskim rivalima...

Falcons (9-5) @ Panthers (6-8) - Panthersi moraju win out te da se ostali rezultati poklope  da bi usli, veoma veoma teska prilika, mislim da je nekako ovako: Lionsi da osvoje NFC North, Packers, Vikes, Bucs zavrse 8-8 kao i oni te da Washington u zadnje 2 ima poraz i nerijeseno, te da Saintsi izgube u zadnjem kolu od Falconsa ..no mislim da ce vec veceras ispasti. Falconsima je pobjeda u zadnja 2 kola dovoljna za playoff...

Redskins (7-6-1) @ Bears (3-11) - Redskinsima igra pobjeda u zadnja 2 kola, iako ni sa time nisu sigurni da ce upasti, ako Lionsi dobiju Cowboyse, imali bi 10 pobjeda, pa bi se morali nadati barem 1 porazu i Packersa i Bucsa u zadnja 2 kola...

Vikings (7-7) @ Packers (8-6) - Vikingsi su gotovo out, osim ako dobiju zadnje 2, uz 1 poraz Washingtona i 2 poraza Bucsa, onda upadaju...dok Packersi ulaze u playoff samo kao osvajaci divizije (ako osvoje diviziju to ce biti jer bi imali najbolji divizijski rekord), jer imaju najlosiji hand to hand u potencijalnom istom omjeru s nekom drugom ekipom kad se gleda za Wildcard...

Titans (8-6) @ Jaguars (2-12) - Must win za Titanse koji se bore za divizijski naslov, prije utakmice doma protiv Texansa za naslov u diviziji... Moraju obje dobiti da bi uzeli naslov u diviziji

Jets (4-10) @ Patriots (12-2) - Patriotsi s pobjedom su blizu broja 1 u AFCu, ako bi Raidersi izgubili onda bi sigurno bili broj 1... ako Raidersi dobiju obje do kraja, onda i Patsi moraju obje do kraja dobiti...

Colts (7-7) @ Raiders (11-3) - Sve je jasno, Raidersi su osigurali playoff, s 2 pobjede do kraja su sigurno broj 2 u AFCu, a Coltsima igraju isto 2 pobjede do kraja da bi u slucaju istog 9-7 omjera s Titansima u diviziji uzeli naslov..

Bucs (8-6) @ Saints (6-8) - Saintsi su isto kao i Panthersi u istoj situaciji, moraju dobiti obje i nadati se da im se poklope iste situacije kao i Panthersima, samo bi onda oni bili ispred.. Bucsima 2 pobjede osiguravaju 100% playoff, s 1 porazom su u situaciji da ne ovise samo o sebi...

Seahawks (9-4-1) @ Cardinals (5-8-1) - Seahawksi s 2 pobjede do kraja uzimaju broj 2 u NFCu

Bengals (5-8-1) @ Texans (8-6) - Texansi i s porazom danas su i dalje u igri, jer im pobjeda nad Titansima u zadnjem kolu donosi diviziju.

Sutra:
Ravens (8-6) @ Steelers (9-5) - Bitka za diviziju, Steelersi s pobjedom uzimaju diviziju, dok Ravensi s porazom gotovo da su out iz utrke za playoff, dok je pobjedom Ravensa, Steelersima potrebno da se poklope 2 poraza Dolphinsa da bi usli kroz Wildcard, sve to ako Ravensi dobiju u zadnjem kolu, inace bi Steelersi porazom Ravensa uzeli diviziju

Broncos (8-6) @ Chiefs (10-4) - Jedina opcija za Broncose da udju u playoff je da Dolphinsi izgube obje do kraja, a oni da dobiju obje i da u utakmici prije ove Steelersi dobiju Ravense. Chiefsi ispadaju s 2 poraza ako Ravensi uzmu diviziju a Dolphinsi i Steelersi imaju isti omjer kao i oni,tj. 10-6. 

Ponedjeljak:
Lions (9-5) @ Cowboys (12-2) - Cowboysi su pobjedom Eaglesa nad Giantsima u cetvrtak navecer osigurali broj 1 u NFCu. Mogu "odmarat" igrace zadnja 2 tjedna... Lionsima treba pobjeda danas i poraz Packersa da bi uzeli diviziju; s 2 poraza vrlo vjerojatno su out, s 1 porazom jos imaju neke sanse (ako Tampa ne zavrsi 10-6 su in), a sa 2 pobjede su sigurno unutra.

Ostale utakmice:
Chargers (5-8) @ Browns (0-14) - Borba Brownsa za prvu pobjedu

49ers (1-13) @ Rams (4-10) - Borba za prestiz


Danas je biti ili ne biti za:
Panthers, Saints, Redskins, Vikes, Broncos, Colts

Uglavnom, bit ce ludo..

Evo malo na engleskom, detaljnije objasnjeno, iako je za neke timove samo objasnjeno za ovaj tjedan

AFC

1. Patriots 12-2

New England has clinched the AFC East and a first-round bye. The Patriots will clinch home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs with a win over the Jets on Saturday combined with a Raiders loss to the Colts.

2. Raiders 11-3

Oakland has clinched its first playoff berth since 2002. The Raiders will clinch the AFC West and a first-round bye with a win over the Colts plus a Chiefs loss or tie to the Broncos, or with a tie and a Chiefs loss.

3. Steelers 9-5

Pittsburgh will clinch the AFC North with a win over the Ravens on Christmas.

4. Texans 8-6

6. Dolphins 9-5

Miami will clinch a playoff berth with a win over the Bills on Christmas Eve plus a Broncos loss or tie to the Chiefs the next night. The Dolphins also can clinch a berth in Week 16 with a tie, losses by the Broncos and Ravens, and either a Titans loss or tie or a Texans loss or tie. They also will clinch a playoff berth by winning out. Miami closes with the Patriots at home in Week 17, and New England might have secured the No. 1 seed by then.

Still alive: Ravens (8-6), Titans (8-6), Broncos (8-6), Colts (7-7), Bills (7-7). None of these teams can clinch a playoff berth in Week 16.

Baltimore will be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss to the Steelers combined with a Dolphins win or tie against the Bills.

Tennessee will be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss to the Jaguars, plus a Dolphins win or tie against the Bills, plus a Texans win over the Bengals; or with a loss to the Jaguars, plus a Texans win over the Bengals, plus a Ravens win over the Steelers.

Denver will be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss to the Chiefs plus a Dolphins win or tie against the Bills; or a tie against the Chiefs plus a Dolphins win over the Bills; or a loss to the Chiefs plus a Ravens win over the Steelers.

Indianapolis will be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss or tie against the Raiders. The Colts also will be eliminated if a number of other things happen involving other teams (click on the link). 538 puts Indy’s playoff chances at just 3 percent.

Buffalo will be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss or tie against the Dolphins; or a Ravens win over the Steelers; or with a Titans win over the Jaguars plus a Texans win over the Bengals.

Eliminated: Bengals, Chargers, Jets, Jaguars, Browns.

NFC (updated after Monday night’s Panthers-Redskins game)

1. Cowboys 12-2

Dallas has clinched a playoff berth but not the NFC East title just yet. They will clinch the division, a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs with one more win or tie or one more Giants loss or tie. Whoever wins the NFC East is guaranteed to be the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

2. Seahawks 9-4-1

Seattle clinched the NFC West. It can clinch the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye with a win over the Cardinals on Christmas Eve, plus a Falcons loss or tie against the Panthers, plus a Lions loss to the Cowboys.

3. Falcons 9-5

Atlanta will clinch the NFC South with a win over the Panthers on Christmas Eve plus a Bucs loss or tie against the Saints, or with a tie and a Bucs loss. There are numerous scenarios in which Atlanta can clinch a playoff berth in Week 16, most involving a Falcons win or tie against Carolina.

4. Lions 9-5

Detroit will clinch the NFC North with a win over the Cowboys plus a Packers loss or tie to the Vikings, or with a tie and a Packers loss. There are numerous scenarios in which the Lions can clinch a playoff berth in Week 16: Win or tie vs. Cowboys plus Bucs loss to Saints; win plus Saints-Bucs tie; tie vs. Cowboys plus Falcons win over Panthers plus Saints-Bucs tie; Bears win or tie vs. Redskins plus Falcons win or tie vs. Panthers plus Saints win over Bucs.

5. Giants 10-4

New York still hasn’t clinched a playoff spot despite having the second-most wins in the NFC. The Giants will clinch a playoff berth with a win or tie against the Eagles on Thursday night; or a loss by either the Packers, Falcons or Lions; or a Bucs loss or tie plus a loss or tie by either the Packers or Lions. The Giants will clinch the NFC East and the No. 1 seed if they win out and the Cowboys lose out.

6. Packers 8-6

Green Bay moved into the No. 6 spot after the Panthers’ win over the Redskins on Monday night. The Packers and Bucs are tied in conference record, record vs. common opponents and strength of victory, but Green Bay has the slightest of edges over Tampa Bay in strength of schedule. The Packers can neither clinch a playoff spot nor be eliminated from playoff contention in Week 16.

[The Redskins received an early Christmas gift from the Cowboys, of all people]

Still alive: Bucs (8-6), Redskins (7-6-1), Vikings (7-7), Saints (6-8), Panthers (6-8).

Tampa Bay can clinch a playoff spot in Week 16 with a win over the Saints, plus a Vikings win over the Packers, plus a Bears win over the Redskins, plus a Cowboys win over the Lions. The Bucs cannot be eliminated from playoff contention in Week 16.

Washington cannot clinch a playoff berth in Week 16 after its loss to the Panthers. The Redskins will be eliminated with a loss or tie against the Bears plus a Packers win over the Vikings; or a loss to the Bears plus a Bucs win or tie against the Saints; or a tie against the Bears plus a Bucs win over the Saints.

Minnesota cannot clinch a playoff spot in Week 16. The Vikings will be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss to the Packers; or a Bucs win over the Saints; or a tie against the Packers plus a Saints-Bucs tie; or a tie against the Packers plus a Redskins win over the Bears.

New Orleans will be eliminated in Week 16 with a loss or tie against the Bucs; or a Packers win or tie against the Vikings; or a Redskins win over the Bears.

Even with Monday night’s win, defending NFC champion Carolina has a nearly impossible path to the postseason: It will need to win out, have Tampa Bay lose its remaining two games, have the Vikings beat the Packers and both finish 8-8, have the Redskins finish the season 0-1-1 and have the Saints lose to the Falcons in Week 17.

Eliminated: Cardinals, Eagles, Rams, Bears, 49ers.

pogrešno.. Packersi mogu ući i kao Wildcard, čak već nakon ovog vikenda..

- Bucsi da izgube, a Falconsi dobiju (Atlanta uzima diviziju),
- da Skinsi izgube,
- da Texansi dobiju Bengalse, a Broncosi Chiefse
- i za ovo nisam siguran, ali možda i da Lionsi dobiju Cowboyse 

Naravno, preduvjet je da Packersi dobiju Vikinge.
Ovo se sve odnosi na to ako Bucsi i Packersi budu imali isti score 9-7 na kraju.. imaju dosta istih tie-brakera, tek će mislim peti odlučivati, a to je strength of victory.. (inače, zanimljivo je da su 2010.g. kad su osvojili SB, ušli u PO kao seed No.6 i upravo je ovaj strength of victory odlučio u njihovu korist)..

A ukoliku budu imali isti omjer kao Skinsi ili Falconsi onda ispadaju jer imaju lošiji head-to-head..

Doduše, mislim da u GB nitko ni ne razmišlja nego samo o tome da se osvoji divizija..

Greška za Bucse, moram te ispravit, nažalost ne ovisimo sami o sebi. 

Ako dobijemo dvije preostale treba nam poraz jedan poraz Falconsa da uzmemo diviziju, ili pobjeda Dallasa protiv Detroita da uzmemo wild card, to su dva najrealnija scenarija.

Uz jedan poraz još možemo ući unutra, ali idealno bi bilo da se taj poraz (ako dođe do njega) dogodi protiv Caroline, a ne protiv Saintsa jer pušimo tiebreakere protiv Detroita i Green Baya onda.

8-8 nas samo čudo može uvesti u playoff. Danas sam osim uz Bucse najveći navijač Caroline.

@Vujo

I stand corrected...

A odite u pm Panthersi.

I pick, Carolina samo učvrstuje vodeću poziciju na mojoj ljestvici NFL momčadi koje najviše mrzim.

Packersi ce uzeti naslov, kako napad igra, nema nitko sanse, Rodgers je u svom modeu

nije trebalo proć puno vremena da počne propadat iracionalna fantazija o Saintsima u playoffu...

Falconsi će izgubit, tu nemam brige, al nisu oni razlog da kopni vjera u iracionalnu fantaziju...
