The Denver Broncos Playoff Guide: Who to Root for and How to Get There

Alright, welcome to the Denver Bronco's Playoff Guide

Lets jump to it-

 

Denver Broncos we are 8-4

The best record we can get is 12-4 the worst is 8-8, but lets assume it's 10-6 with wins at least against KC and OAK

Broncos remaining schedule

Dec 13 @Indianapolis 1:00pm
Dec 20 Oakland 4:05pm
Dec 27 @Philadelphia 1:00pm
Jan 3 Kansas City 4:15pm

 

 

AFC PLAYOFF PICTURE

AFC
Seed Team Division Record
1  Indianapolis (y) South 12-0-0
2  San Diego West 9-3-0
3  Cincinnati North 9-3-0
4  New England East 7-5-0
5  Denver West 8-4-0
6  Jacksonville South 7-5-0
Still alive (below)
7  Baltimore North 6-5-0
8  Miami East 6-6-0
9  N.Y. Jets East 6-6-0
10  Pittsburgh North 6-6-0
11  Tennessee South 5-7-0
12  Houston South 5-7-0
13  Oakland West 4-8-0
14  Buffalo East 4-8-0
Eliminated
15  Kansas City West 3-9-0
16  Cleveland North 1-11-0

crossed out those who cant beat us to playoff spot(assuming 10-6 at worst) *EDIT* I tried to cross them out, it didn't work imagine everyone from Tennessee down crossed out.

 

So first lets look at Pittsburg:

PITTSBURGH 

6-6

Dec 10 @Cleveland 8:20pm
Dec 20 Green Bay 1:00pm
Dec 27 Baltimore 1:00pm
Jan 3 @Miami 1:00pm

If they win out, we tie at worst. But a win against Indy or Philly kills them as well as a loss on their part.  But they win a tiebreaker.

We should beat them 

 

JETS

6-6

Dec 13 @Tampa Bay 1:00pm
Dec 20 Atlanta 1:00pm
Dec 27 @Indianapolis 4:15pm
Jan 3 Cincinnati 1:00pm

They are not a problem, if they win out, unlikley, and we go 10-6 we beat them on the tie breaker.  Dont worry about them.

Eliminated (from our POV)

 

MIAMI

6-6

Dec 13 @Jacksonville 1:00pm
Dec 20 @Tennessee 1:00pm
Dec 27 Houston 1:00pm
Jan 3 Pittsburgh 1:00pm

Same as Jets, I believe we have the tie breaker, pose no threat

Eliminated

 

BALTIMORE

6-5

Dec 7 @Green Bay 8:30pm
Dec 13 Detroit 1:00pm
Dec 20 Chicago 1:00pm
Dec 27 @Pittsburgh 1:00pm
Jan 3 @Oakland 4:15pm

If they win out were in trouble, they'd be 11-5 at most likely and likely above us.  Hopefully they drop one to 10-6 or more.  Balt is probably a wildcard

 

 

JACKSONVILLE

7-5

Dec 13 Miami 1:00pm
Dec 17 Indianapolis 8:20pm
Dec 27 @New England 1:00pm
Jan 3 @Cleveland 1:00pm

If they win out like the Ravens, were in trouble, they'd be 11-5, but most likely they'll be possibly 10-6 or most likley  9-7, lets say 10-6 to be safe.  Not all too much to worry about, we'll most likely have the tie break

Should be OK

 

 

SAN DIEGO

9-3

Dec 13 @Dallas 4:15pm
Dec 20 Cincinnati 4:05pm
Dec 25 @Tennessee 7:30pm
Jan 3 Washington 4:15pm

Anything could happen here, they could get sloppy and drop them all, unlikely.  In order for us to overtake them, they need to drop 2 games, between DALLAS, CINCY, and REDSKINS.  If they do we need to beat Philly.  In that case we are both 11-5 and the broncos have more victories against common opponents any way you cook it if they lose 2 of those 3.  or we win out and they lose 2. I think they have tiebreak if we tie 12-4 and they lose 1 of those 3

POSSIBLE (not all that far out)

 

ANALYSIS

We should get in at 10-6, we beat out Jacksonville, Miami, Jets.  But not in worst case scenarios although very unlikley.  Jacksonville, Baltimore and Pitt could still beat us out at that record.  Although Jacksonville will almost certainly drop one vs. Miami, Ne and Indy.  and Pitt should drop one vs. Green Bay and Balt.  Balt will probably also drop one game bringin them to 10-6....So at 10-6 the wildcard should be us and Balt 

At 11-5 assuming one win v Indy or Philly we'd be 11-5, at that record only Balt and Jacksonville can catch us.

 

PREDICTION

My prediction is that we go 11-5 (I want to say 12-4 but I won't) and we are in as a 1st place wildcard, and play New England in the first round of the playoffs.  Baltimore comes in behind us at 10-6 and plays San Diego.

 

 

FRINDLIES

Green Bay, Cleavland, New England, Miami, as well as everyone playing SD

There are others, but these should be our 2nd fav teams.  Root for them after you push Denver to victory, we will be better if these teams win out.

 

Thats all, thanks for reading, what do you think?

RiG's week 7 Picks ATS

 

Hello, So i got my picks below and stats from last week.  Please comment on my picks, the more discussion the more learned and revealed. I don't care if you disagree or agree I just wanna hear what you think, even if its just 'yea, I like indy to cover too' or 'I think cinncy will win'

 

If you've ever been interested in sport betting in the slightest you should check out CentSports (click here, link).  Only difference is its completely legal just like Football Pick'em and Fantasy Football.  You'll get 10 cents to bet with and can cash out when your over $10.  Its all paid for by their ads

Last week my picks lost a little money.  I laid my money in some of the wrong spots and won't make the same mistake.  I actually was a little disappointed in my picks and put a lot more on the broncos monday night then posted and came up with a positive 5 units for the week end. yay! but it wasn't  good idea...

RiG's Picks & Thoughts & Questions

Alright I researched all the teams and posted up my picks.  Ive done more research than it looks like.  I'm just not that good at explaining why I pick who I picked.  

 

If you've ever been interested in sport betting in the slightest you should check out CentSports.  Only difference is its completely legal just like Football Pick'em and Fantasy Football.  You'll get 10 cents to bet with and can cash out when your over $10.  Its all paid for by their ads

 

 

PICKS

 

 1:00 ET At Washington -6.5 Kansas City 37.5

I'm not going to bet on this game but my pick would  Washington -6.5 +0 units

 

 1:00 ET At Cincinnati -5 Houston 45

I think this has the makings of a trap game and don't want to get caught in it.  I'm going to stay away but would take the bengals if need be.


 1:00 ET At Pittsburgh -14 Cleveland 38 +1.5 units

I like pitt here.  Tomlin will prepare them well and they'll easily squash clevland by 14

 

 1:00 ET At Minnesota -3 Baltimore, over 43.5 +0,2 units

I like over 43.5 here; think they both can score over 20

 

1:00 ET At Jacksonville -9.5 St. Louis 42.5 +1.5 units

 

 1:00 ET At New Orleans -3 NY Giants over 47.5 +.5 units

 

 1:00 ET Carolina -3.5 At Tampa Bay under 40 +.5 units

 

 1:00 ET At Green Bay -13.5 Detroit 48.5 +1 unit

Detriot has been very competitive

 

 4:05 ET Philadelphia -14 At Oakland 40.5 +3 units

I think this game will be on the verge of a shut out

 

 4:05 ET At Seattle -3 Arizona 47 +1.5 units

Hassel is back, 3 points should be nothing in this kind of game

 

 4:15 ET At NY Jets -9.5 Buffalo 38 +.5 units

Both of these teams seem to be collapsing, but the Jets are defiantly better. 9 and half better? -you'd better bet.

 

 4:15 ET At New England -9.5 Tennessee 43.5 +2 units

Maybe this week tennesse comes back? NO. NE is mad/ has something to prove. Tenn is used up

 

 8:20 ET At Atlanta -3 Chicago over 46 +.5 units

tough to pick, probably Chicago with the points

 

 8:35 ET At San Diego -4 Denver 44 +2 units

I'd say under too, but denver may score too much :)  We show em who's boss of the AFC (west)

 

 

Alright next week Ill add up how I did to see how much money you'd woulda won had you believed me

RiG's Bets picks & assesments

Ok so here are some picks.  This week I feel I took a better approach researching the games and hope for improved results.  After my picks I have some 'assessments' on things.

 

If your interested in betting even in the slightest you should check out CentSports.   What happens is you get 10 cents of 'playmoney' to use and grow and cash out once you have over $10.  Its paid for completely by ads.  I'd say its Great fun, better than any Fantasy Sports or Pickem challenge I've ever done. and easier to sign up

 

 

PICKS

I think the Atlanta Falcons will get it done in San Fransisco.  They've just got a bye week and playing against a Gore-less 49ers team.  Researching both of them my final conclusion agrees with my original pick.

I like the Vikings to cover 10 points at the rams.  I think the spread should be much larger here and like the pick here and defintly to win straight up.

I also think the radiers can cover 16 points, even if they are pity points.

Dallas over Kansas City

Buffalo Bills over Cleveland Browns

I like Houston Texans to beat Arizona Cardinals although its very hard to call.  But the more I look the more I like it.

Carolina Panthers over Washington Redskins

Bengals to cover +8.5 @ the ravens

Denver +3.5 to win over the visiting Patriots

Colts to win -4 @ Titans

Jets to cover -2 @ Miami

The intracacies of Cash Considerations

OK so I'm more of a NFL fan (go broncos!) but I have always loved salary cap stuff.  Just recently I have been studying the NBA's 'soft' cap and its rules -which I find very interesting.  But one thing I can't  find any information on by googling is trading cash.
