Such a great chance. Starting a qb who passed for 130 yards in the last 2 starts vs meh defenses vs a team that was 2-0 vs us last year and the pats. What number would you put on this “best” chance ? 8 percent ? ??♂️?
Kmart128 Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 I'm not rooting for either team. KC wins then we need Titans to lose twice. LA wins and need Titans to lose three times. Looking at their schedule either could happen.
DisplacedBillsFan Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Actually, I believe with 3 wins our chances are something like 86%. Let's play the games before we mark them down as losses. 3 minutes ago, Air it out Fitzy said: Such a great chance.

ColoradoBills Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 8 hours ago, JM57 said: This is pretty close to correct I think. Basically, there's not many scenarios where the Bills beat the Ravens in a tiebreaker, short of the Ravens and Bills tied at 9-7 with the Ravens 7th loss coming to the Bengals, and the Bills 2 wins coming against Miami, which would mean conference and common games record is equal, and would move the tiebreaker down into strength of victory, and even that is no guarantee. If the Bills, Ravens and Chargers are all tied at 9-7, the Chargers will have a 6-6 conference record, which would eliminate them, as the Bills and Ravens would be at 7-5. As far as TEN/SF goes, I think you want SF to win no matter what. The easiest way to look at all these scenarios is by eliminating the Titans from the picture all together. It's not crazy to see them losing to the Rams and Jaguars. It's tougher to say that about the 49ers, but at the same time, they ha e looked better with Garoppolo under center and the Titans have looked pretty awful... A Raven loss to the Colts or the Bengals will get us in at 9-7 (2 wins against Miami).
SF Bills Fan Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 I thought we would want the Chargers to win, but according to the ESPN playoff machine, we want the Chiefs to win today. If most games play out like they should we get in (assuming we win 2 of our last 3). We would also need the Titans to lose 2 of 3. If Baltimore loses against Colts or Bengals we would slide to 5th seed.

Boatdrinks Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 5 hours ago, /dev/null said: focus on winning the next three games. worry about the rest of the AFC after taking care of our own business That is what the players should do. Doesn't mean much for fans though, and this game is being played before the Bills game. As fans, games are more compelling when one has a rooting interest. Otherwise, why watch? Just check the scoreboard and NFL.com at 4pm on New Year's Eve .
Turk71 Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 Not sure who to root for but I think the Chargers will win and win the division. Chiefs losing also helps draft obviously and I think if the Bills can somehow win 2 of 3 the Titans and Ravens will be the teams vying for wild card spots. Who knows? Gotta win Sunday first. Looking at the schedule there might be 4 teams at 9-7 fighting for 2 spots. Just hoping the Bills can win a couple and get in the mix.
DocLawless Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 So, go chargers? Still don't really know who to root for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
