I highly doubt that's going to happen. I think when the season ends, the Lions and the Falcons will be the wild-cards and either Giants or the Cowboys will win the NFC East while the Bears and the Eagles will remain out.
I think if the Giants win out, they win the NFC East. Technically, if the Eagles win out and the Giants AND Cowboys lose, the Eagles win the division. When I try to figure out the NFL Playoff Picture, I feel like I'm trying to study for an exam!!
Baltimore may have something to say about that (for either team).
I THINK, both Pittsburgh and Baltimore will be in the playoffs ...
Does the NFL always make the WC play the division winner in thier division in the first round ?
Just looked at the updated WC situation, I thought the Jets were OUT, but thats not the case.
It's also possible that the AFC North could have 3 teams in the Playoffs, if the Jets don't make it.
Jets have Giants and Dolphins
Cincy has Cards and Ravens
Cincy could lose both, or win both ...
Not sure what to expect with the Jets last two games.
I do know if the Steelers win out and Cincy beats the Ravens, the Steelrs will win the division and the Ravens would then probably take the # 5 /6th spot.
meanwhile the Vikes and Rams are fighting for the #2 pick
unless the Colts get on a **gasp** winning streak. Then they might go for #1

If the Ravens lose in SD tonight and the Steelers win in SF tomorrow night,the Steelers have a GREAT shot at the #1 seed.
If both those things happen, the Steelers would just need to beat the Rams at home and the Browns in Cleveland to get the #1 seed.

Ice,
If the Colts get pick #1, they will probably take Luck, say the Vikes get #2, who do they take, they have Ponder as thier QB for the future, are they confident enough with Ponder to Not take another QB ?
That is if RG3 and Landry come out, also I think Barkley will be in the mix as well.
I would be surprised to see the Steelers win tomorrow night, happy of course, but surprised.
Still have a gimpy Big Ben and Pouncey won't be playing and Harrison is out as well and Palomalu is hurting (hamstring).
I also don't see the Raven losing the rest of the season.
I am interested in seeing SD tonight as the Lions play them next week.
Oh, OK, thats better, it must be the record then, I wasn't sure, several times now the Steelers would play the Ravens in round one and I thought that maybe the NFL had the playoff set up that way to play divisions in first round, but it must have been when the second team from the AFC North was the one with the lowest record.
I think ...
They might take a QB (but they got Ponder and Webb)....or maybe trade it for a bunch of picks
How about this scenario:
Week 16
Buffalo beats Denver
San Diego beats Detroit
Kansas City beats Oakland
Week 17
Kansas City beats Denver
Oakland beats San Diego
Final AFC West standings:
Denver..........8-8
Oakland.........8-8
San Diego......8-8
Kansas City....8-8
Somewhere, Pete Rozelle would be smiling!

Wasn't it last year that a team won the division with a losing record ?
Year before maybe ...
Edit:
Seattle 7-9 Yikes !
