Not necessarily. This year, the AFC and NFC can have their divisionals all on one day (like both AFC games on Saturday and both NFC games Sunday) since there are four networks involved: CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC/ESPN. (It used to be 1 NBC, 1 FOX or CBS, and 2 for the the one that was not FOX or CBS.) The NFL prefers a 4v5 for Monday, but it could have been a 3v6, for example. In that case, both same-conference games would have to be on one day (most likely on a Sunday to allow for better rest, but we don't know that for an absolute fact). ----------- Second (unrelated) post: I believe the Dolphins and Chiefs will be the first teams to play each other twice in a season with neither game being on an OTA channel outside of home markets (first game was on NFL Network in Germany and the second one is on Peacock).

Yeah, it is. The AFC South champion usually gets the lowest viewed Saturday late afternoon game, since the entire division consists of small markets. That slot is playfully dubbed the "Houston Texans Invitational". And the NFL apparently wanted a big name to force people to subscribe to Peacock Saturday evening...hence KC. They wanted to reserve the much coveted Dallas for late Sunday, the biggest rating window...so FOX had to get that one. And they had to throw CBS a bone, so they gave them Pittsburgh (a huge rating draw) Sunday early (FOX and CBS were set to have Sunday afternoon, the only thing to be determined was which network got what slot).

Agreed. He needs to stop posting his BS here and stop pretending to be a Bills fan.

Yeah...nope (I have to do this like every other week it seems):

[My apologies to @djp14150. I just saw his post on page 2, and the search function has been down this whole evening (maybe on purpose?). I do want to be able to edit my table below after each post-season round though, as well as show the teams SOS, since that is an important tiebreaker.] https://www.tankathon.com/nfl 2024 NFL Draft April 25-27 in Detroit Pick Team Record of original team SOS 1 Chicago (from Carolina) 2-15 (Carolina) .522 2 Washington 4-13 .512 3 New England 4-13 .522 4 Arizona 4-13 .561 5 Los Angeles Chargers 5-12 .529 6 New York Giants 6-11 .512 7 Tennessee 6-11 .522 8 Atlanta 7-10 .429 9 Chicago 7-10 .464 10 New York Jets 7-10 .502 11 Minnesota 7-10 .509 12 Denver* 8-9 .488 13 Las Vegas* 8-9 .488 14 New Orleans 9-8 .433 15 Indianapolis 9-8 .491 16 Seattle 9-8 .512 17 Jacksonville 9-8 .533 18 Cincinnati 9-8 .574 19 Los Angeles Rams 10-7 .529 20 Pittsburgh 10-7 .540 21 Miami 11-6 .450 22 Philadelphia 11-6 .481 23 Houston (from Cleveland) 11-6 (Cleveland) .536 24 Dallas 12-5 .446 25 Green Bay 9-8 .474 26 Tampa Bay 9-8 .481 27 Arizona (from Houston) 10-7 (Houston) .474 28 Buffalo 11-6 .471 29 Detroit 12-5 .481 30 Baltimore 13-4 .543 31 San Francisco 12-5 .509 32 Kansas City 11-6 .428 *For Denver and Las Vegas, division tiebreakers were used as both have identical SOS. Teams without a first-round pick: Carolina (traded to Chicago) Cleveland (traded to Houston) Notes: 1. Non-playoff teams get picks 1-18 -- the team with the worst record picks first overall. 2. Teams eliminated in the Wild Card round get picks 19-24. 3. Teams eliminated in the Divisional round get picks 25-28. 4. Teams eliminated in the Conference Championships get picks 29-30. 5. Super Bowl loser gets pick 31. 6. Super Bowl winner gets pick 32. This order applies to all seven rounds of the draft. Clubs involved in two-club ties will alternate positions from round-to-round. In ties that involve three or more clubs, the club at the top of a tied segment in a given round will move to the bottom of the segment for the next round, while all other clubs in the segment move up one position. This rotation continues throughout the Draft. Tiebreakers: Strength of schedule, division tiebreakers, conference tiebreakers, interconference tiebreakers, coin toss Compensatory picks: Weeks before the draft, up to a total of 32 compensatory picks are awarded to teams that lost significant free agents using a proprietary NFL formula -- these picks are made after rounds 3-7. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bills-Dolphins Week 18 for the Division! SUNDAY NIGHT GAME
chongli replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
So there are four possible combinations for Buffalo, assuming no ties anywhere: 1. Houston at Buffalo - Bills win at Miami, JAX wins at TN 2. Pittsburgh at Buffalo - Bills win at Miami, TN wins vs. JAX 3. Out of playoffs - Bills lose at Miami, JAX wins at TN 4. Buffalo at Miami - Bills lose at Miami, TN wins vs. JAX Scenarios 1 and 3 are the most likely, since TN ain't winning vs. JAX. (And Pittsburgh will be praying for a Bills or Jacksonville loss to get them in.) -

Last year, 12-5 Dallas had to travel to 8-9 Tampa Bay in the Wild Card. This year, most likely Philadelphia at 12-5 will have to go to a probable 9-8 Tampa Bay. Something is wrong with this picture.

If we get 2, then no. Interesting idea, but no. I want at least two home games. There is no reason why we can't beat a banged up Miami team that we usually own.
