All possible scenarios between CAR, SF, ARI. (32 exactly) UPDATED.

EDIT:

Even Better Odds !

I found a small error in Scenario 1 Case 2 (i didnt have us making playoffs if all three teams end up with 10-6 or 11-5 but we would)

10-6 record has us at 50.00%

11-5 record or 12-4 record, gives 100% to make the playoffs.

_________________________________________________

 

So I was bored this morning and figured out all possible scenarios between us, sanfran and arizona.

 

Before I give you the odds and percentages, let me explain how I got them.

Next week (week 16), there are 8 possible scenarios between the three teams.

-CAR loss / SF loss / ARI loss

-CAR loss / SF loss / ARI win

-CAR loss / SF win / ARI loss

-CAR win / SF loss / ARI loss

-CAR win / SF loss / ARI win

-CAR win / SF win / ARI loss

-CAR win / SF win / ARI win

 

Then, for week 17, there are 4 more scenarios but I call them cases. 

The four cases are:

-CAR loss / SF win / ARI loss

-CAR loss / SF loss / ARI win

-CAR win / SF win / ARI loss

-CAR win / SF loss / ARI win

keep in mind that SF plays ARI

 

With that in mind, each scenario of week 16 and 4 possible outcomes of week 17, gives us 32 possible scenarios.

 

Based on the tie-breaking between the three clubs, there are the following odds and percentages:

 

As of today:

CAR has 87.50% to make the playoffs

SF has 84.37% to make the playoffs

ARI has 28.12% to make the playoffs

 

With a W against the Saints week 16:

CAR has 100% to make the playoffs

 

With a L against the Saints week 16:

CAR has 75.00% to make the playoffs

 

With a W against the Saints week 16 & a L against Falcons week 17:

CAR has 100% to make the playoffs

 

With a L against the Saints week 16 & a L against Falcons week 17:

CAR has 50.00% to make the playoffs

 

With a L against the Saints week 16 & a W against Falcons week 17:

CAR has 100% to make the playoffs

 

So you see, if we split next two games, we make the playoffs no matter what.

 

For any questions, study the attachements I provided.

 

I only have one question, how will we be seeded if all three clubs finish the season 11-5 ?

I have CAR, and SF advancing to playoffs in my report (because of the Conference Record), is that correct?

 

Thanks for reading!

Good research. My only question is if we lose one game then win against Atl and SF, AZ wins out. That will leave us out wouldn't it?

 

Well AZ and SF play each other so both of them can't win both games.  If AZ wins out then SF has to loose and as long as we win one more we have the tiebreaker against them,  if SF wins and we win one more we automatically have a better record than AZ.

    • I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.  
    • This makes me wish we took a flyer on Quinn Ewers late in the draft 
    • He has been a good player and clean player over the years. I don’t follow that close but think he was closing in on setting his resume for his place in the all time rankings. I am sympathetic to him becaus this will hurt him there.
