Their schedule is very favorable - @Texans and a home game vs. Browns to end the regular season.

Bengals have to play a prime time game next week, which means an automatic loss no matter the opponent. Given its the Broncos and they're looking to get the top seed ---> Forget about it.

My other prediction is that Bengals/Steelers in Week 17: Winner gets the 6-seed and the loser misses the playoffs.

Headed into week 16 and the Lions are atop their division


Havent to seen the videos yet, but 2 big fights today? Is that right? In games that were virtually meaningless!!! Good job.

Denver is really down right now, perfect time for Cinci to take advantage. Jeremy Hill has been the perfect player for them, should help balance the red head out some.

I hope Carolina wins out, Cam gets healthy and they force a team into a tough game round 1 of the playoffs. The rest of that division is a waste.

I don't understand Indy. They can't and don't run the ball, yet have 10 wins. I mean my Lions have managed the same but our defense is holding teams to 17 a game.

Harbaugh, he gone! LT made a great point tonight, said he is the most qualified coach and is 1 yr away from NFC championship game and 2 yrs away from the SB, why do they have to fire him?!? Yet everyone knows he is toast there it seems.

That's the oddest thing I've ever heard. Hooking up is one thing, but taking it there is on a whole different level, Jesus!!

Great job by my TN Titans today to somehow lose at home to the inept Jets. If we can just suck on the road against the equally crappy Jaguars...we should finish 2-14, which means a top 3 pick at worst for us.

Now I'm sure they will screw it up, but oh well.

Random thoughts/predictions:

NFC: Packers still win the division. Seahawks win theirs, Cowgirls look to win theirs (ugh), and Saints somehow win theirs. The biggest loser today was the Packers...what a choke job, and then Seahawks said wft Philly tonight because the Cowgirls have the tie breaker on the Seahawks head to head. I'm kind of curious to who gets home field if the Packers, Cowgirls and Seahawks all finish 12-4? Anyone know?

AFC: Patriots continue to roll and will no doubt win out, so will the Broncos probably, Colts clinch their crappy division, and the AFC North looks to get 3 teams in the playoff, although the Chiefs and Chargers are not done yet.

So what exactly does TN do that isn't "wrong" in the fans eyes?

I'm not totally sold on my Lions to win the division, but we did hold GB to 10 pts in a 14-10 win( I want to say say it was 10-7 but that sounds wrong and I'm lazy, either way). I know GB will bring it, and it's on the tundra.........week 17 will be tough and the loser may miss the playoffs or worse turn around and have to play the next week.

To answer your seeding question, right now Detroit is #2 and Seattle is #5 so I'm guessing both of the other ranks are hoping to be #3 or #6. I know that doesn't help but no one wants to play Seattle round 1.

I was actually happy with the outcome for the Titans yesterday. Winning now does nothing except drop our pick. Now we just have to lose @Jacksonville. Still need Tampa to win one of their two remaining games to get the #1 pick, but looks like that's not gunna happen. I ain't mad at the #2 pick though.

CBS has a nice mock 1st round draft up but it's mobile version so I can't link it.

Has Jamies Winston #2 to TN. Guess it could be worse, I think he is the best QB coming out, but I think teams fixing defense first start winning sooner.

Has Davante Parker going to Minnesota #11. Nice pick, reuniting Parker and Bridgewater.

Has Bud Dupree to N.O. #21. I hope not, Brees will not be around forever and they will fall apart after he is gone.

Denver is winning, but not because of their pass attack: Over the last 3 games Manning is only averaging 15 completions for 195 yards, with 3 TDs and 2 INTs.

They're also not very good on the road: 4-3 road record, with two of those road wins coming against the Jets and Raiders.

I still think Denver wins, but you never know. The Broncos haven't looked the same in the last few weeks.

Looks to me like Clausen is playing pretty good today. Especially considering he is being paid about $17.5 million/year less than Cutler this season.

Steelers in playoffs for first time since 2011. Todd Haley's playcalling has been nothing short of spectacular in the second half of this season. Big reason why they're finally back in.

Falcons beat the Saints which means the winner of the NFC South is guaranteed to have a losing record, yet will host a playoff game... Something is very wrong with that.

Really unbelievable as bad as they looked at points early on. I thought they were headed for a 5-6 win season.

Vikings need a good pick anyway, no real lose.

Indy looks terrible without TY Hilton roaming around, Luck also looks about lost.

35-0 and Dallas is running Murray still? I don't wish injury on anyone but it seems you could take advantage of the scenario and I've Randle the snaps.

I hope Arizona somehow gets this game tonight, no way Detroit wins at GB next week for a 1st round bye.

Biggest props should be given to the NFL. Gave the Bengals three straight road games and finish the season against Manning and on the road at the Steelers. Oh, and the Steelers get two straight home games to finish the season.

Jesus. Now your crying about the GD schedule? Spoken like a true UL fan. Cant say I'm surprised though, this is the same guy that thinks the only way the Steelers have ever beaten the Bengals is with trick plays.

Don't blame the schedule makers. Blame a dumb *** read option attack when nobody for the steelers could stay with 5 yards of AJ.

The Bengals usually beat the Bengals. Defense is the only thing that has kept them in most games. Still, they lose tomorrow and again the next week. I am hoping against that but....alas, I am a Bengals fan and have been disappointed more times than not. A lot more.

Does Denver have everyone healthy? If not doubling DT should go along way in controlling Peyton. Also Jeremy Hill should help with time of possession, really looking forward to this game!

Looks like if the Chargers had lost today it would have locked the Bengals in for a playoff spot.

They win this game and they move up to #1 in the NFC. Hard to beat them at home. The Packers really **** the bed last week.

No one's beating Seattle if they win home field throughout.

There's three head-to-head games that will decide division titles next week. The schedule worked out nicely.

That read option call was not what cost them the game. Giving up over 500 yards is what cost them the game. Also, the 20 yard run was a read option play. Were you complaining then? Probably not. People act like Hue Jackson called that play because he knew Dalton would fumble it. The read option has actually been pretty successful for the Bengals this year. Obviously, they aren't going to run it a lot but 3-4 times a game in certain situations is a nice wrinkle to the offense.
