I doubt the Bengals make it. Anything can happen but I would expect the Chargers to beat the Pats this Saturday. Even if the Broncos lose to the Bengals, they should beat a KC team resting starters next week. How motivated will KC be for that game. WC weekend will probably be Bills vs Broncos/Chargers Ravens vs Broncos/Chargers Steelers vs Texans

NFL on X: "🚨 WEEK 17 SCHEDULE FLEX 🚨 @packers vs. @Vikings has been moved to 4:25pm ET on FOX. @dallascowboys vs. @Eagles will be played at 1pm ET on FOX. https://t.co/1UMvglBrzl" / X

Broncos clinch a playoff spot with a win over the Bengals.

G. Wilson isn't happy with the Jets. https://nypost.com/2024/12/23/sports/new-jets-regime-facing-a-potential-garrett-wilson-trade-mess/

Have you seen the Bengals play defense. Allen is more than capable of winning a shootout over Burrow. For me I want the Bills to have no part of Baltimore. I think the Ravens are the team that would give the Bills the most trouble.

Games against the Jets recently have been pretty physical. These 2 teams really don't like each other. We know Dawkins hates the Jets and he is not shy about saying it. I expect this game will be like yesterday where the Bills find themselves in another close game.

I am still hoping for the #1 seed, so they don't have to play WC weekend. But they have to at least get the #2 seed. I don't want the Bills to go in as the #3 seed. That could set them up for a road game at Pitt/Bal. I especially don't want the Bills to have to go to Baltimore. If they have to play them then at least get the game in OP. The Bills being a very good home team would have a much better chance beating them at home.

It's one of the main reasons Mahomes has championships and Allen doesn't. For all of the Reid, Mahomes, Kelce hype the Chiefs defense is the one who is the backbone of the team led by Jones. The Bills need to build a bigger more physical defense. Similar to what the Steelers have. Of course, having a player of TJ Watt's caliber doesn't hurt.

Unless FOX has it protected that Vikings - Lions game is getting flexed to SNF. Good chance it's not only for the division but the #1 seed as well.

Look at what the offense did at Sofi and Detroit. I think the players especially the offense would love to have a dome in Buffalo.

KC finishes up at Denver and the Broncos may need that game. Divisional games on the road are usually tough games.

Lamar Jackson 2024 stats so far. 3,787 yards passing with 37 TDs and 4 INTs. This doesn't count his rushing stats. Jackson absolutely belongs in the MVP race. As I mentioned I hope Josh wins but the case can be made for LJ.

I hope Josh wins the MVP award, but you could easily make the argument that Lamar should win it. He has had an outstanding season.

Exactly if the Chiefs lock up the #1 seed and the Bills lock up the #2 seed with a win vs the Jets then I could see the starters playing only a series or two at most at NE before putting in the backups. The starters will play vs the Jets.

Bills still need to clinch the #2 seed from the Steelers/Ravens. Even if Chiefs beat the Steelers the Bills still have something to play for.

I am surprised the NFL had games on this past Saturday with the CFB playoffs. Usually, the NFL doesn't play on Saturday when CFB is going on.

Good point. I wasn't surprised yesterday was close. Sometimes those "easy" games are the hardest to win. Divisional games are usually close anyway as the teams are familiar with each other.

As long as the #1 seed is still in play the Bills won't be resting anyone. If the Chiefs clinch the #1 seed, then maybe it's a different story but the Bills still have to clinch the #2 seed from the Steelers/Ravens.

I would expect this week vs the Jets they will go back to looking like the Bills again and wear blue over white.

I still think the Chargers and Broncos get those final spots for the AFC playoffs.

For the Bills home schedule. Preseason games wear all white since its hot out. If the home opener is week 1 or 2 and it's a 1:00 game wear all white as it can still be hot out. After that blue over white for every home game.

With the exception of Allen Cook is the best player we have on offense. AINEC. 182 carries 928 yards 14 TDs rushing with a 5.1 average per carry.

As others have said, divisional rivalry games are never easy. Even the Pats during their dynasty years had trouble winning in Miami. The Eagles who many consider the best team in the NFC lost at Washington yesterday. Take the win and move on and get ready for another tough rivalry game with the Jets. 12-3 with the #1 seed still in play. Nobody can complain about that.

I hope you are right about that.
