Pretty sure the Broncos season finale is in Denver, no?

Of course. He hasn’t had an all pro caliber hit on the DL . Milano was elite at LB but he’s been injured and isn’t the same player. Beane has to shoulder blame for lack of elite DL or game changing LB ( Milano’s best days are behind him) He’s making the picks

Completely different group of voters for Pro Bowl

I don’t think it’s the scheme. When the Bills D is playing badly, I’m seeing guys just flat out getting beat. That’s not scheme, it’s a lack of talent.

I think if the Bills and Steelers flipped spots , you could argue it would be a better path for the Bills . Home vs LAC, @ PIT, Home AFCCC vs BAL /@KC- which they could have to do anyway

Chiefs have had a few nail biters vs DEN in recent past

I don’t think it’s as simple as that- the Bengals need more to happen than just winning out and Denver losing to the Chiefs. They need a very specific set of outcomes and that’s why they’re 10th in the AFC with around an 8% chance to get in.

Yup. It can’t be that McD feasts on bad opponents while also playing down to them. Which one is it ?

Yeah , the Bills have to be careful to retain that 2 seed. It did look like today was pretty vanilla as far as game plan is concerned. Not surprising vs a 3-11 pats squad. I still think the Texans were the least likely of KC’s final 3 games to get a win. The game was in KC and they look like a one and done playoff team to me. I’d expect a much tougher game for KC vs the Steelers and Broncos. Unlikely that they drop both, but if the Steelers win on Wednesday then you have to go into week 18 with all hands on deck.

They do, but they also don’t tend to score a ton of points on offense. The Bills definitely live - and die - by a bit of a formula. Get a lead on offense and force the opponent to pass a lot. They depend on Josh Allen and his almost routine heroics to win. This isn’t going to change come playoff time.

The Chiefs have capitalized on lots of dumb plays by opponents this year. If you even occasionally watch KC games you know this. It’s said that they “ find ways to win”. Now, the Chiefs D is better than Buffalo’s but KCs ways of winning appear unsustainable too.

Yes it is. Kenny Pickett looked pretty good in year 1 for the Steelers.

He can move around a bit and looks better than say , Mac Jones. Not sure if he’ll be any good yet, too soon to tell I guess.

Don’t know about a KC collapse, but if they lose @PIT the Bills starters will be in week 18. The games will be played simultaneously as well, to ensure “competitive integrity “ The backups just don’t cover and tackle nearly as well, so the results are far worse.

Right. If anything the one game the Chiefs were always going to win ( even if they started Wentz ) was home vs HOU. Not saying they’re going to drop both road games , but they were never losing to the Texans.
