Home Field Advantage - What are the implications?

[Fully Tilted]

I believe any NE win or NYJ loss gives us HFA throughout the playoffs, right?

 

[Box_O_Rocks]

Right.

 

[HomelessJoe]

yup

 

[Michigan Dave]

Yes. Our "magic number" is one.

I believe any NE win or NYJ loss gives us HFA throughout the playoffs, right?

Well, technically, I think it's 'any NE win or tie or any NYJ loss or tie,' but ... yeah.

That sounds right, as soon as we win the division, we also sow up the #1 seed.

Pitttsburg is irrelevant to this situation because they cannot finish with a better record than us, and we have the head-to-head tiebreaker.


A win gives New England 13, which the Jets can't reach.
A Jets loss gives them 5, which the Pats can't reach.

The "golden arches" never looked so good.

The "golden arches" never looked so good.

I wonder how many millions they've served.

 

[3 Point Stan]

I dunno... those golden arches look air-brushed

Wait, you thought that Mickey-D's was all natural?

Not only is their stuff full of additives and preservatives, THEN it is airbrushes to give it a fuller and more lucious look.

But it still hits the spot when you've got a craving, don't it?

And re: the OP - I don't see why you think this is a big deal. The Jets magic number is only 4.

So clearly the Jets would own the tiebreaker if the teams both finish 13-3?

I don't want to sound alarmist but if Jets win and Pats lose the remaining 2 games, Jets will have #1 seed.

There's really no room for Pats to get comfortable. Yet.

Damned squealers, I so wanted to see the Jest collapse completely.

Buffalo aside, if the Pats can't at least beat Miami (a team they trounced in Miami) at home then they aren't deserving of the division anyway.

Let's hope the Bears do us a favor next week and put this to rest.

 

[Grumpy_Bottom]

We did "Jets Favors" in 2008, I'd prefer we win out and put this to rest.

 

[EasyBigFella]

Come on, does anyone really think the Pats will lose to the Bills? I expect a crisp effort coming off last night's lackluster performance and the Pats to win by 21+ points. Jets losing to the Bears would be a bonus just because it would be funny and make the NYers sweat a bit.
