At this point, which teams are on the cusp and HAVE to win?

I looked online and found a bunch of blowhard fans of their shitty team. If you find any links or have any info please post.

Thanks.

NFC:
Dallas must stay within a game of Philly, they meet in last game of the season. If they fall back another game it's all but over.
GB only 1 game back of Chi and Det, no wild card from this division.

NFC wild cards likely go to Car and nfc west SF/AZ.


AFC:
Chargers and Jets are a game back in wild card hunt, another loss and they are just about toast.

I'd say Arizona is the team with a realistic shot at a playoff spot (from the team's perspective) that is in the most critical "must win" situation. As a 2.5 pt fave that you're essentially just betting to win straight up, I feel the most confident in their motivation level of all the potential playoff teams that are "on the cusp" when factoring in the situation to their line value.

Season on the line for Miami........like their chances with Gronk out

Baltimore miami and sandiego.

I a thinking 3-0 from miami or baltimore and they are in.



Personally I think each loses and its a 3 way tie.

Baltimore beat miami, miami beat sandiego so tiebreakers will occur.

Fun year

Not that KC is on the cusp, but with Denver losing last night, I love the motivational spot for KC with renewed hope for the division lead and a possible #1 seed in the AFC. They really shouldn't have trouble covering the 4.5 at Oakland if they are serious about homefield in the playoffs.
