Yeah, that could happen. But I'm thinking along the lines of what do they do if the Rams beat the Cardinals? That division would be done. The Seahawks at Rams game week 18 wouldn't matter at that point. We will see what happens

Well let me ask you this, looking at the Week 18 games, which 2 games would you find the most enticing to put on Saturday then? I honestly, don't see anything. I think Vikings at Lions gets Sunday Night. Depending on what happens this weekend, I don't think most of those games will matter. I don't think the NFL is gonna wanna stuff 2 games on a Saturday that quite frankly may not mean a thing on Sunday. You could put any of Dolphins at Jets, Jaguars at Colts, Bengals at Steelers on Saturday. If the Broncos play and win on Sunday, none of those 3 games will matter anyway. I do think the NFL is gonna care about the games they put on and I honestly don't see any matchups that are worth it for those 2 time slots on Saturday

Those other games don't need to matter lol. No one is gonna care about most of the crappy games going on that day anyway. And all 3 of those other teams have such a hard path compared to the Broncos anyway. So, all those other games are gonna play the same time as the Broncos when even if they did, they would all be knocked out by a Broncos win? We will see

Yeah, but I'd Denver wins, none of those other games matter. Most of the them Dolphins/Jets, Colts/Jags, Panthers/Falcons, some of these games will be Sunday 1pm games. If the Chiefs win Wednesday, none of this matters. If they lose, Denver loses and Bills win, I think Bills vs Patriots and Chiefs at Broncos will be 2 games considered for Saturday.

It won't be win and in but the NFL doesn't always do win and in for the SNF. They will if it's a really good one. But if both teams are 14-2 going into that game, that game will determine who wins the NFC North and the number 1 seed in the NFC as well. That will definitely be the game of the week. No way that is not SNF if it works out like that

Yes, a 3 way tie. Not just if it's between the Broncos and Colts. It's the Broncos. But the Broncos are win and in. I don't think they are gonna pick any team that needs to win out and have a ton of other scenarios happen for the Saturday game. I think they want a win and in or 1 seed/division scenario. The Broncos game gives them both I'm well aware of how the NFL likes to do it. But I think Unless one of the Vikings or Lions lose this week thay that will be the SNF game. Last year the NFL picked 2 win and in games that were played on Saturday. They did Steelers vs Ravens. If the Steelers lost, they would have been eliminated. They won because the Ravens rested starters. The Saturday night game was Texans at Colts which was also win and in because the winner of that game won the AFC South. The Texans beat them and eliminated the Colts. They were both elimination games

I'm saying because the Broncos are a win and in situation which is typically what the NFL looks for in those Saturday games. Honestly, the NFL needs some games to be played at 1pm on Sunday. Every game but one has at least one team in a playoff scenario. But they aren't only gonna have 2 1pm games on Sunday. The Colts, Bengals, Dolphins all have a hard path to get in. Denver wins, they're in. It's the most enticing for a Saturday night matchup. I even thought, maybe they will do Seahawks vs Rams. But according to the playoff machine, if the Rams beat the Cardinals on Sunday, no matter what the Seahawks do the next 2 games, that game between them won't matter. So, that eliminates that game. It will be interesting but I definitely think there is a possibility it can be that game

I think the fact that the Broncos are win and in over the next 2 weeks. If they lose to the Bengals, I still they they would be the better pick between them and Indy. Indy needs to have numerous things happen even with a Broncos loss. A Broncos win in week 18 or a shot at it seems more enticing than putting a team in that slot that has to have numerous things happen

The Broncos have the head to head on the Colts and are a game ahead. They need to win just one game. Even if the Broncos lose out and Colts win out, the Broncos get in over them at 9-8. They have the head to head Indy doesn't have the tie breaker if it's just the 2 of them. The Broncos beat them head to head last week

The Broncos are win and in at any point in their next 2 games. The Colts, Dolphins and Bengals have to win out. The Broncos can lose this Saturday to the Bengals. And all they would have to do is beat the Chiefs in week 18 and they are in. The Dolphins, Colts, Bengals need to win and have other things happen. Come Sunday, those games could be completely pointless. The Chiefs vs Broncos game is more important than any of those games if the Broncos lose to the Bengals on Saturday

Miami and Indy, I don't think stand any chance at all. I don't even think they will be a consideration

You're tired of not having having Sunday 1pm games, aren't you? Lol I think Vikings Lions will be the Sunday Night game. I don't think there is any chance that becomes a Saturday game Secondly, I don't think there is any way in hell that Miami or Indy is gonna have a shot at getting in. So, those games, shouldn't even be in consideration. I see it as 2 possible win and in games of which outside of the Rams Seahawks, there may not really be another one

But Broncos, who the Chiefs play week 18, could possibly be in a win an in situation. So, even if the Bills were to lose to the Patriots for some weird reason and the Chiefs get the 1. Then the Broncos could very well be facing a win or go home situation. So, it works either way

Not necessarily. We don't know what the wild card matchups are gonna be and I don't think 1 extra day if rest is really gonna make that much difference but this would only be referring to of the Bills and Broncos both play Saturday in week 18. Neither team would have 1 extra day of rest because they would both be playing Saturday and then against each other either Saturday or Sunday the following week in the Wild card round. No one would get am extra day over the other Yes, but I honestly don't think the Bills would lose to the Patriots. Secondly, in this scenario, even if the Chiefs have nothing to play for, the Broncos would still need to win to get in so that would still make the game meaningful either way

Well, that's the thing, it would depend on what happens on Saturday. Because the first game Saturday is Chargers at Patriots. If the Chargers win that game, they clinch. The Broncos only have to win one game to clinch, whether that would be Saturday at the Bengals or the following week against the Chiefs. If the Bills and Chiefs are playing for the 1 and the Broncos are playing for win and in. Then the NFL can kill 2 birds with 1 stone by putting that game Saturday night. Because in that case, the Chiefs would need to win to get the 1 and the Broncos could be lose and go home

I don't know what you mean that it makes no sense? I also don't know what you mean by an extra day of rest. If the Steelers beat the Chiefs, Bengals beat the Broncos and Bills beat the Jets, that means both the Bills and Chiefs will be playing for the 1 seed the final week. It also means that the Broncos would he fighting for their playoff lives as well. So, it would make for a very enticing game to make for the Saturday night time slot. There are not that many games that have that much more meaning if you look at the slate of games that are on the week 18 schedule. There are no clear cut "win and in" games. The NFL is gonna have a few games to choose from with either 1 seed or division winning implications

Yeah, they started it in 2021, I believe

Their game against the Chiefs could be flexed to Saturday that night if it's in the order I put it in. If the Steelers beat the Chiefs, Bengals beat the Broncos and Bills beat the Jets, it would make a lot of sense to put Bills vs Patriots Saturday at 4:30. A Bills win would put the pressure on the Chiefs to also win in the Saturday 8pm to get the 1. And it also means the Broncos would be fighting for their playoff lives. There are no win and in games this year, I don't think so the Saturday games are gonna be ones that either come down to a 1 seed or one that determines a division

That is incorrect. They flex 2 games with playoff implications to Saturday the last few years and are doing it again this year. One game will be at 4:30 and the other at 8pm. They are usually "win and in" games. They did it last year with Steelers at Ravens and Texans at Colts and have done it the few years prior as well. Because there aren't really any "win and in" games this year, I think they will be doing games with 1 seed or division implications

But if you look at how I scheduled it, the Bills would play first at 4:30. If they win, that 100% puts the pressure on the Chiefs on the 8:00 game to also have to play to win the final week.

If one game is played before the other in the order that I put it in, then there is plenty of an advantage. The Bills would need to win and have the Chiefs lose to get the one. The Bills playing at 4:30 Saturday would put the pressure on the Chiefs to definitely have to play to win Saturday night. To me, it's the same as letting them play at the same time Sunday at 4:25

As we know, the NFL likes to schedule 2 games on Saturday during week 18 with playoff implications. There are really only 5 games I can see them choosing from looking at the lineup of games but it obviously depends on what happens this week. If the Steelers beat the Chiefs and Bills beat the Jets, I can see Bills vs Patriots and Chiefs at Broncos being the 2 games as it could be both of them going for the 1 seed in the AFC. I can also see Browns at Ravens and Bengals at Steelers being 2 other games since that could be to determine who wins that division. The one other game I could possibly see would be Seahawks at Rams as that could possibly be for the NFC West as well. It doesn't really appear there will be "win and in" games to pick from and I think Vikings at Lions will be the Sunday night game as that can be what determines the number 1 seed in the NFC. If the Steelers beat the Chiefs and Bills beat the Jets, I could definitely see Saturday January 4th 4:30pm Bills at Patriots 8:00pm Chiefs at Broncos I don't think these games will be flipped because if the Chiefs play first and win, then that makes the Bills game pointless. What does everyone think? What are your picks for the possible Saturday games?

Bill Belichick is the most overrated HC of all time

According to some people here, he played like crap

Taylor Heinicke looks like the kid in We're the Miller's that got bit by a big a** spider
