Week 13 Elimination Scenario Thread!
Four teams can be entirely eliminated in Week 13: the #Giants, #Raiders, #Jaguars and #Patriots, all pictured here. For more in-depth elimination scenarios, keep reading!
The #Giants can’t lose the rest of the way, or they’re done. They have a little leeway with what happens elsewhere, but they must win out from here.
A loss knocks the #Jaguars out of the #6 seed, but they’d need help elsewhere to get entirely kicked out this week.
The #Raiders, too, must win every game from here on out to stay alive. There’s a lot of complicated scenarios that knock them out of #5 or #6, none of which are likely to come up.
A loss knocks the #Patriots out of the #6 seed, but to get completely knocked out, they need the rest of the AFC wildcard muddle to get their act together.
Some clarification for the #Jets – by “one set of”, I mean either of the groups of two teams winning in that #5 seed scenario. Can’t mix and match ’em, you need both of either pair.
A loss will knock the #Browns out of the AFC North, but there’s no way they’re done entirely this week! The snowstorm win keeps them alive.
The #Bears are out of the NFC North with a loss, and the rest of the division can begin slamming them down the wildcard ranks, too.
A loss on Thanksgiving officially ends the #Cowboys bye-week chances, and then the Eagles can dunk on them a little later in the week to knock ’em out of the division.
Very simple for the #Broncos – lose and watch the Chiefs win, and their out of the AFC East.
The #Dolphins get kicked out of the AFC East with a loss and a Bills win on Sunday night – the AFC East is the closest division to clinching.
