I think the most likely scenario for us to get the bye is a Steelers loss to the Pats next week and either a Steelers loss to a winless, yet highly motivated Browns squad in their season finale or a surprise loss to the tinhorns in week 16. Though if I were putting odds on it I’d say the chance of either thise scenarios happening is probably 5%. I don’t see the Pats dropping 2 of the last 4 at all.

Bottom line is we’re probably not getting the first round bye. That Ravens/Steelers game last night was a real disappointment as that was probably our last real chance of getting the bye was the Ravens holding on for the win which didn’t happen.
