thenorthremembers Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Cleveland is going to take this one. I am confident in that. I am not sure they get the Steelers when they play them in Pittsburgh, but I think they will take care of them this week.

A Browns win puts them at 4-6 with a head to head tie-breaker with the Bills A Browns loss really hurts their chances as they could only get to 9-7 and still must play Pittsburgh again and the Ravens in week 16 probably with home filed advantage still not secured. I see at least two more Browns' losses - Ravens and one of the Steelers games. In this scenario the best they can do is 8-8. A sweep of Pittsburgh means they can get to 10-6 but still with the Ravens game looming, 9-7 seems like the best they can do. A Steelers win puts them at 6-4 a half game back of Buffalo. The only team with a winning record besides Buffalo remaining on their schedule is Baltimore. Unfortunately the Ravens game is week 17 and they may be resting guys by then. With another Steelers win a few weeks later to the Browns, the winner of the Buffalo/Pittsburgh game will likely decide who makes the playoff. A Steelers loss drops them to 5-5 with another Browns and Ravens game. With all that, I think the best case scenario for Buffalo is for them to split their two games, giving each team an additional loss. The Bills-Steelers game may still decide the playoff fate for both teams. We want Browns to win that would be a Slight help to the Bills. A Steelers win is a slight hurt to the Bills https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/upshot/buffalo-bills-nfl-playoff-picture.html Edited November 14, 2019 by MAJBobby 1
Dopey Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 My heart says bury the Browns, now. Record wise and playoff scenarios, we want the Browns to win. With the Ravens' and Steelers' schedules the rest of the way, the Steelers have a a legitimate shot at the division. We play both of them, so we kinda control our own fate here. So, Go Steelers, bury Landry, Baker and the Browns!
FloridaSnow Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Absolutely rooting for the Browns. It's true that they have an easier schedule down the stretch, but in addition to the upcoming games against the Steelers and Ravens, it's completely plausible that they randomly stumble against Arizona or Miami. The Browns do not play consistently enough to win out (or likely to even get to nine wins). Let the Steelers catch them on one of their up days.
CaptnCoke11 Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Steelers are a real threat for a wildcard... The Brows aren’t unless they run the table which no way happens.
row_33 Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 just enjoy the frickin game put $5 on an outcome to spice it up

We won't really know for a few weeks anyway. This^. Rather than hoping for another Dalton to Boyd type play to eliminate WC spot competitors, how about the Bills win the rest of the games they should win, and a game or two they’re not expected to win.

I think it's silly to make assumptions. Everyone is guaranteeing losses to certain teams and wins to others. But seasons rarely work out like people expect. There were a ton of upsets last week. There could be again next week and the week after. The only team in the NFL that is even slightly a sure bet is the Patriots. They are going to get their wins and win the division. But even they laid an egg against the Ravens, and they could against one of their future opponents as well. The Ravens, though hot now, got blown out by the Browns! So it's a week to week league. Assumptions are cheap and without much substance.

MAJBobby Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Bills Win against MIA, Broncos and Steelers and they are really just a lock for the WC without needing any help.
