For me, if the Pats win Sunday and both teams win their week 16 games then we rest those that are injured because I don't see the Steelers losing against the Browns in Pittsburgh or the Jets beating the Pats at Foxboro. Even rest #5 who has been on the injury report all year with his wrist and infact anyone carrying even the slightest niggle doesn't play.

If Pit wins Sunday, every game is play the strongest lineup to lock up the 2 seed and they'll get their rest in the bye.

Yeah but if the 2 seed is in question at 1 pm on Sunday 12/31 before the result of the Pitt or NE games is known, you'd still rest your guys and concede the 2 seed?

I can't imagine Coughlin and Marrone would be thinking that.  I don't care who they're playing.

The Pats beat the Jets by 7 earlier in the year.  The Steelers beat the Browns by 3 earlier in the year.  One fluke play could have changed those results.  I'd take my chances in week 17 if everything lines up.
