Watching last nights game they had Baltimore as the sixth seed and that was ESPN. Projection?
Royale with Cheese Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 I believe we are the 8th. We aren't ahead of the Chargers who beat us and TN has a better record that us. Baltimore has tie breakers. https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/nfl-playoff-picture-standings-matchups-scenarios
BuffaloMatt Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 There are three games left. On day one of the season 32 teams were tied for first. These type of analysis only matter when there is finality to it. For example, if a win or loss (or some combination of wins or losses) mathematically puts you in or out of the post season. You might as well put any analysis at this time in your hope chest and write a wishful entry in your diary imagining what the playoffs are like.
T master Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 And if the Pats beat us that bad & the Fins whooped the Pats what exactly does that mean for the Bills play off chances ?? How many wins will the Bills get out of the last 3 games ? I'm thinking 1 maybe ... home games or not !!

The tie breaker that Baltimore would have us on is common opponents, which apparently doesn't kick in until after there are 4 common opponents. Currently, there are only 3. When we play the Dolphins, the tie breaker will kick in and place the Ravens over us (assuming we remain tied) Edited December 12, 2017 by seregil42 1

By that logic, the Chiefs whipped the Pats and the Bills beat the Chiefs, so that must mean the Bills are better than the Pats? 1

The Pats loss was the first game of the season & the Bills beating the Cheif's was after the Cheif's fell back to earth . So ill stick with my thoughts of how the teams are playing now instead of 3 months ago . Just sayin !!

Sorry merge thread I just saw it was already posted based on the CBS standings Wouldn't it be better for the Chargers to keep winning and take that division? LA has us on tiebreakers. KC does not. 2 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: I think head to head is ahead of conference record for tie breakers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Sports Illustrated has the Bills 8th currently because they applied everything. I think the current three-way tie actually places us in sixth, technically. It won't finish this way as teams accrue more common opponents and conference records change, but for now: Bills in sixth.

If the Chargers win the division, and we're competing against KC for the WC isn't that what we want?

If the Chargers win the division, and we're competing against KC for the WC isn't that what we want? That's how I feel too but I don't know all tie breaker scenarios. If both us and KC finish 9-7, we beat them, we would get in I think. Chargers take the division.
Tatonka68 Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Bills in six seed until Sunday. Then fall off the cliff. Count on it,
