TEN has a tough remaining two games vs Rams and Jags , so their loss to SF today makes it less likely TEN ends up 9-7. Bills now need to win both games or hope teams lose games they will probably win.
The Wiz Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Win and their in. They need to control their own destiny. 1

Its going to come down to Bills, Titans and Chargers for the final spot. Basically just need to root hard against both teams. Titans are down to niners now and have a very tough remaining schedule. Chargers are one game back but have the head to head over us. Really need the Jets to beat them next week or they will have the advantage over us. don't worry...Chargers gonna Charger
2003Contenders Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Andrew Siciliano explained it on the Red Zone channel today. The common opponent situation does not apply to the Ravens-Bills because that tie-breaker requires a minimum of 4 common opponents, which the two do not yet share. So at the moment it goes to the next tie-breaker, which the Bills have the advantage. So for now, the Bills have the 6 seed over Baltimore. However... that common opponent tie breaker will kick in with these final two games. So if both the Bills and Ravens win out, the Ravens would leap-frog them with a better record against common opponents.

This was always expected Ravens have the tie breaker on us so you have to win more rhen them If the Ravens lose either of their next 2 games and the Bills beat the 'Phins week 17, we would have the same common opponent record and it would then go to Strength of Victory. Can't say for sure, but I think Buffalo would have SOV tiebreaker.

BigDingus Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 I just want us to skip to the last week of the season. I have 0 confidence in beating NE, and I'm an optimist when it comes to most things. I hope it comes down to whether we beat the Dolphins or not & that's it. If it depends on the NE game, I'm going to be very sad.

If we lose to NE then for it to come down to simply beating the Dolphins in Week 17 to get in then you are rooting for the following in Week 16: Ravens loss to the Colts AND Chargers loss to the Jets Then I believe we just have to beat the Fish to get in. Otherwise, it gets a bit more complicated, and we will need help in Week 17. Edited December 18, 2017 by What a Tuel

Chargers losing to the Jets I can definitely see. The Jets play harder than their record shows. They nearly beat the Saints today but had some bad luck down the stretch. Either way they'll play hard. I believe!
mannc Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Is there any chance Belichick rests a few guys this week, after having been gifted the Steelers game? They’ve clinched a first round bye, right?

How about the possibility of the Bengals helping us out week 17 by playing hard for the departing Marvin Lewis's final home game?
