I THOUGHT AJ DONE A FINE JOB YESTERDAY.

Here's a question who wins the conference if the Bengals and Steelers end up tied at 11-5 ? They both tied this year head to head so would the next tiebreaker be divisional record ? Then if the Bengals lose to the Ravens(which I don't see happening) they would be tied in that too so what would be next?

It could come down to strength of victories.

If this would be the case it would go to Pittsbugh.

Pittsburgh has beat Arizona 12 and 2 if they lost last two they would be 12 and 4
Denver is 10 and 4 and if they lost last two ...................................10 and 6


Cincinnati has beat Kansas City 9 and 5 if they win out 11 and 5
Seattle is 9 and 5 if they win out...........................11 and 5

Pittsburgh would have the tie breaker , because of margin of victory over us in the second game. if i'm not mistaken. but now ole bait was wrong 1 other time. plus it looks like noreply has some other info.

if they both win out and we finish 13-3. whether we win the division or not. i'll take it. but ole bait needs a new hat n tee shirt saying BENGALS---2015 AFC NORTH CHAMPIONS

It use to be

#1.....head to head
#2.....best w&L % in division
#3.....best w&l tied % in common games
#4.....best W&l tied % in games played within conference
#5.....strength of victories

I pasted this off NFL.com.Looks like if they make it to number 12 they do a coin toss

Im going to pick Bengals by a point. 28-27

Gonna be awful tough to win this one with a backup QB against the number 1 ranked defense at Mile High,were are going to see how good McCarron really is.The running game must be better than it was against the lowly Niners or it is a sure loss.

I agree bolt.

COME ON LADIES AND GENTLEMAN THIS IS A HUGE GAME. THE PLAYOFFS START MONDAY NIGHT FOR THE WHO-DEYERS.

Bengals need to rush the heck on the 6' 8" QB

Interesting

Stick a fork in the Broncos, that collapse against the Steelers finished them off.

I sure hope your right Oaf! That was a major meltdown,but it is a primetime game and we know how them usually work out for the Bengals unfortunately.The one team they did beat in primetime was the Broncos so maybe that will work in their favor.

Ozzie, promise me if the Bengals make the AFC championship game that you'll dust off those cowboy boots, grab a case of Budweiser, and skate a few figure eights in the ice for us ole buddy!
