Worst they can finish is 3rd seed with KC win and NE loss next week. Edited December 23, 2019 by Real McNasty

KC loss and Houston win week 17 and we get KC in the WC. I think these are the only scenarios that remain? yup 1
Dr.Sack Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 1 hour ago, LEBills said: Hou is definitely our best matchup. Their strength is passing, our defense is great at pass defense. Josh struggles the most when under pressure, HOU has one of the lowest pressure rates in the league. Gotta feel pretty good if/when this is who we draw. I think Vegas will make the line BUF +3. Not bad considering home teams get 3.

eball Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Almost certainly Bills @ Houston at this point. Would be a surprise if KC loses and Houston wins in W17, since KC is playing a "run for the bus" opponent in the Chargers while Houston faces a Titans squad who need a win to get in (or a Pittsburgh loss, but I would presume the Ravens will be resting everyone).
Big Turk Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) If the Bills were smart they would be preparing for their likely first round matchup against the Texans(with some lesser prep work for the Chiefs) and not waste time really doing much for the Jets game since its going to be backups and it honestly doesn't matter to their playoff seeding. This would pretty much give us 2 weeks worth of preparation against an opponent and almost like having a first round bye, which could give us an advantage come that game.

Mr Info Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 This is what I have seen for Raiders to make playoffs & Browns game has no impact: Raiders beat Broncos Texans beat Titans Ravens beat Steelers Colts beat Jags

Houston plays at home against Tennessee next week. will Houston rest starters? the Ravens play the Steelers. will Balt rest starters? both resting teams will determine who backs into the last WC. 12 minutes ago, matter2003 said: If the Bills were smart they would be preparing for their likely first round matchup against the Texans(with some lesser prep work for the Chiefs) and not waste time really doing much for the Jets game since its going to be backups and it honestly doesn't matter to their playoff seeding.

I think McDermott will want to play to go out with a win and not the first 2 game losing streak of the season.

Houston is probably doing the same thing. 1

Isn’t the issue that the #6 seed is up in the air? since it’s not locked down who do they prepare for a week early? Tenny vs Houston Pitt vs Ravens The Raiders might sneak in
SF Bills Fan Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) It would be great if we could get a clue as to which seeds will play what day for travel purposes. I’m driving ftom Austin to Houston- no problem there, but I have several friends planning to fly in and they need to book that. It seems like the 5th seed is usually the Saturday game. That would be ideal Edited December 23, 2019 by SF Bills Fan
Franco_92 Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) If I was Houston I'd want to play starters. I'd believe in myself to get to the AFCCG, and then KC coming out of the other playoff tree is definitely a possibility - and week 17 decides whether that game is in Houston or KC.

billsfan89 Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Houston away is a coin toss. The big matchup everyone is going to talk about is the Bills top flight defense vs. Watson and the Houston offense. But the real question will be can the Bills offense move the ball on Houston's defense? I like our odds. 1

The Texans defense is subpar and their offense while really good I think could be stopped by the Bills quality defense. I would give the Bills a slight edge in the matchup but I downgrade it to a coin toss due to the fact that it will be an away game. 1

The Bills have played better on the road this year however—going into Foxboro they were 6-1, IIRC.
