The only games that matter that are left are within the division dummy, we are locked into the 4th seed and can’t move up :comeon:

This isn't true though.

If Texans go 2-3 only winning the AFC South games they are not locked into anything at 9-8 and would have losses against tiebreaker losses against Dolphins/Ravens.
On the other side they could def move up to 3. AFC North winner almost certainly finishes with 5+ losses.

5-1 in the division hands you the 4th spot and host to a WC game at the lowest……The Colts have too many losses and we own that tie breaker……

1 (division winner) bye (likely Chiefs, afc west)
2 sees 7 with 2 hosting (likely Ravens, afc north)
3 sees 6 with 3 at home (likely Bills, afc east)
4 sees 5, 4 at home (likely Texans, afc south). All top 4 teams are division winners

Do you not know how the playoff bracket in the nfl works breh?

Yes i know how it works.

You said only division games matter and Texans are locked into 4th seed and can't move up.

Thats wrong based on how NFL seeding works.
Texans can go 9-8 if they finish 2-3 and 2-0 in the AFC south. Tie breakers don't matter if Indy finishes 10-7.
They can also go up to #3 ez.

Don't understand the lecture. All of this to create some narrative that games vs Baltimore, KC and Miami "don't matter" because you know the Texans are likely to take multiple Ls.

For the Texans, the only games that matter are the last 2 division games. Go back and reread what I put down breh. The other games at this point in the season are pointless since the Colts hold no direct tie breaker to the Texans. What incentive would it be to move up to 3 when the opponent between the 5th or 6th would be menial at best?

Overall record is the first tie breaker.
If Texans only win the division games they finish 9-8. Indy currently has 7 losses and can finish 10-7.
