[net.sport.football] Seattle: Playoff Hopes?

ins_adlk@jhunix.UUCP (Darren Lee Kadish) (12/13/85)

This week's Seattle-Raiders game is going to be the crucial game for all
the AFC west contenders palyoff hopes.  Things look pretty dim for Seattle.
Not only do they have to beaat the Raiders (who were embarrassed 33-3 in the
Kingdome, something I doubt will happen in the LL.A. Colliseum) who are out
for blood, and then Denver in the Kingdome.  If they lose Either of these
games, the jig is up.  To boot, the Raiders must also lose to the Rams.
It is highly unlikely that the Raiders will lose the last two games of the
season.
Well Seattle fans, it looks like a dim prospect.  The Rams are on an upswing, 
but they are hard too peg.  I believe that if Denver and the Raiderrs wind up
tied at the end of the season, (Assuming that Seattle wins against both, 
or just the Raiders) the Raiders would win due to their advantage in head to
head competition.  Denver's only hope is that the Raiders lose to both 
Seattle and the Rams, and that they beat Seattle in the Kingdome.
    The last game (Seattle-Denver) should be a doosie, especially if
Seattle beats the Raiders this week....That game could decide the
division!  Sommeone in the NFL scheduling department must be a genious!:-)
