AFC Homefield

[Arrowhead Nation]

For KC to get home field, NE would have to lose to Jacksonville, the Jets, or Buffalo, and KC would have to beat Detroit, Minnesota, and Chicago.

Not exactly. Cheifs have two AFC losses, NE only has one. CHiefs have no more AFC games (what a scheduling quirk!) so....lets assume for a second that NE loses to the Bills, they finish 13-3, 10-2 in the AFC

Then assume that KC loses @ Minnesota, and beats the other two patsies, they finish 13-3, also 10-2 in the AFC.

#3 is common opponents, if NE loses vs. BUFF then both teams are 4-1 against common opponents.

So, tie breakers, #1, #2, and #3 are all tied still (H2H, AFC, common opp.)....#4 is strength of vitory.

Right now, NE has a % of .552 and KC is .385 I believe, and that wont improve much playing who they play.

SO NE would have homefield based on a #4 tiebreaker

How is that for controversey!

Now if KC wins out and NE loses one its a moot point...I hope they will...Minnesota will be tough but we have won in BALT, GB, so KC should have an ugly W.

Interestingly enough... I think KC matches up against NE the best, even IN New England. You don't have to worry about KCs run defense if they were playing NE. Also, I think the snow would really benefit KC and that huge offensive line they have. If KC plays NE in the AFC title game and it's snowing, expect a win from KC and a big game from Larry Johnson.

Didn't you just take a long time to say what I had already said? That NE needs to lose one and KC needs to win out?

Thats for KC to win....I was merely stating the entire story for people who wonered how NE would have it if they were tied.
