Predict the Bills record in the last three tough games

[billsfan_34]

Lets win the last 5 !!! Why not us? 

[zow2]

I think we will lose a game we’re expected to win (Jets or Steelers). And we will win a game we’re expected to lose. Final record 10-6.

Yeah, I think we will beat Pitts, but the Jets will be a tough game. I was just curious what people thought of the top three.

 

That said, we most likely go 2-3 overall and get 10 wins. If we go 1-4 we probably don't deserve it. 

 

It's just so hard to predict game to game, but I don't see them beating Baltimore and they never beat NE so those are pretty low probability.

 

Dallas of course will be tough on Thanksgiving, but it's a team that can be beat.   Agree that Pittsburgh is the most beatable of the next four.

 

As for the Jets, you just hope it doesn't come down to a do or die game in week 17 as the Jets would be highly motivated to return the favor from 2015.

[MDH]

Bills will win one of the three.
 

Oddly, I like the matchup with the Pats on the road the best. I think that’s the one they steal.

[Rico]

None of the 3 tough teams left are close to being historically great, so I don’t think it takes a historically great team to beat them all. Bills just have to get hot at the right time. That being said, I’ll say they beat the Ravens, lose to the Pats, and the Cowboys is a toss-up, I’ll say it’s a Bills win.

They are but the team is going to be all but out of the race I think, which enters into a lot of psychologies of the game. 

Nah.  Steelers under Tomlin won't mail it in.   The Bills will have to earn that win.  All the talent the Steelers lost, including their starting QB, and even losing Rudolph for a time, then benching him today for his back-up and they are 6-5.   That's crazy.  But the Steelers have never had a below .500 record under Tomlin's watch and this year won't be any different.

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

8-3 with a 2 game buffer for the WC is what I know. 
 

10-6 or 11-5 or 12-4.  ?‍♂️ 

 

I’ll wait and see how each week turns out.

They barely beat the Bengals today with Ryan Findlay. They're done. This is not the same Steelers team. I'm shocked that Tomlin benched Rudolph in fact. That's the sign of complete desperation.

1-2.

Dude, Rudolph is no great player, which reinforces my point.  They are 6-5.  No Big Ben.  Connor has been hurt.  Rudolph missed time.  AB is gone.  They keep staying in the convo.  Doesn't matter how much they win by or who they beat.  They play tough and that D is legit.

If you think Devlin Hodges is the answer, cool.

Based on the way teams are playing today:

Steelers and Jets are likely victories.

The other three are unlikely victories.

That is the overwhelming consensus, so no way it happens that way.

[SJDK]

I think we are looking at 10-6, losing to Dallas, Baltimore and New England. Best case is 11-5 and we beat Baltimore.

[whatdrought]

We're gonna beat Dallas and lose the other two going 11-5.

I think it's so obvious that that is going to happen that there is almost no chance that is going to happen.

I’m considering that this team is unlike the past teams. We beat the teams we should and lose to decent and good teams. Browns are the outlier

If that's how it plays out (or any other 2-win scenario), then I'll have to admit this season exceeded my expectations. And as you said earlier, if they can only win 1 (or none) of the remaining games they don't deserve to make the playoffs. Oddly I'll consider that under-delivering on my expectations. While I may not have expected 9 wins before the season, I did expect the team to be improving throughout the season. And so far, I think they are. If they collapse from here, then that narrative changes.

 

With all that said, I think they'd have a better shot against Dallas if it wasn't being played on Thanksgiving in Dallas. I'm not saying they have no chance, just that that might just be too big of a game/stage for this team at this time. I hope I'm wrong.

 

I also think the best chance of the Bills stealing a game they aren't generally expected to win  is the rematch with the Pats*.

Fans looking ahead doesn't really hurt the team or upcoming game. That's not a thing.
