Wild Card Math

Everything is right in the world, at least the world of the NFL. The Steelers won, the Jags, Chargers, and Chiefs lost, and the Bengals and Broncos won. The Steelers are in no way going to win the division so catching the Bengals is really not an option. But with both Denver and Cincy having the same record they will have to keep playing their starters and both of them have to play teams that would be good for the Steelers if they lost, the Chargers and the Chiefs. With the Steelers being in a tie for the 6th spot, I’m not sure how the tiebreakers shake out. I think you need a degree in Wild Card math to figure it out but I do know at least this much. If Pittsburgh wins out and San Diego beats Kansas City then the Steelers are in because they beat SD. Good stuff.
