As was made clear earlier this week, the Jets crapping the bed against the Titans on Monday Night Football did not clinch a playoff spot for the Colts in 2012. Our our own numbers Einstein, Mr. Matt Grecco, pulled out his abacus (Ay oh!) this week and crunched some numbers.

Here's what he found:

I missed a game yesterday that will also play a part, which is Falcons at Lions Sat night. A Lions win is good for the Colts.

In order for the Colts to miss playoffs now, here's what has to happen: a total of 14 games have to go a certain way. One off, Colts in.

Colts lose 2, PIT>CIN, CIN>BAL, ATL>DET, SD>NYJ, OAK>CAR, MIN>HOU, NYJ>BUF, KC>DEN, CHI>DET, JAC>TEN, NE>MIA, PIT>CLE. Any wrong, Colts in.

Which means for Week 16, Colts clinch with win by: Colts, Bengals, Lions, Jets, Panthers, or Texans.

The Colts chances of making the Playoffs now stand, by my numbers, at 99.9991%. Just 9 out of a million chance they miss out.

The Colts also clinch the 5 seed by winning either game, as they'll have tie-breaker over Bengals (AFC record).

There will be a quiz on all this at 2 PM EST. Bring a No. 2 pencil.

Bottom line: If the Colts miss the playoffs, run out an buy a lottery ticket, 'cuz some crazy sh*t be happenin'!

Editor's Note: See this updated post that makes a few slight changes to the Colts clinching a Playoff spot. It is a slightly worse scenario (by .11%)
