Buffalo I'd put the Saints at 2, Steelers at 3 (based on record), Packers at 4, and the Bills at 5. If the Bills beat the Steelers on Sunday, which I believe they have a very good chance to do, they would move up above the Steelers and possibly above Green Bay too, depending on how they play on Sunday. Other than the Chiefs, an argument could be made for the Bills to be anywhere from #2-#5. Between #5 and #10, there is come combination of the Browns, Dolphins, Rams, Ravens, and Titans. The AFC is definitely the stronger conference this year. It sure is fun to be part of the conversation again and not just be at the bottom of the "in the hunt" list.

It’s crazy to see the patriots at the bottom of the “in the hunt“ list. I love it though!
machine gun kelly Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Not that I care as I really never even look these things up unless you guys make a thread, but at the risk of Sounding like Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory, how do you have power rankings come out before the Ravens play the Cowboys. What if Dallas pulled out an upset? Wouldn’t that affect their ranking. Honestly I don’t care and prefer just to see the graphic who is leading the divisions and who are the current wild cards and their rankings based on their wins/losses. That at least for the week makes a projection of who could be possibly our opponent in week 1 of the playoffs. I enjoy those graphics.

It didn't matter what those teams did they weren't making the top 10.
machine gun kelly Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 War, I honestly don’t care. I can see as it interested me some of the other outlets held back like NFL.com.

Buffalo Bills, 9-3 (4) Josh Allen was fantastic in Monday night’s rout of San Francisco, with 375 passing yards and four touchdowns without an interception Just remember everyone, you get respect when you EARN respect. Getting bent out of shape any time someone doesn't pick the Bills to win a game any given week isn't "disrespect," nor is critiquing a player's on the field performance. Notice all the positive things being said? When you win, do it on the road, beat good teams, have your best players playing complete games, etc. you will get praised. 2

Ravens Cleveland could very well finish 12-4 or 13-3 if they keep playing like they have been, so they might end up ranked higher. They only have the Ravens, Giants & Jets left, along with Pittsburgh week 17. The 2 division games are obviously huge for them, but they have a chance against both.
CSBill Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Beat the Steelers and their is no doubt they belong in the top 4 discussion with the Chiefs, Saints, and Packers. The Chiefs have earned the uncontested place at the top, and the order of the Bills, Steelers, Saints and Pack can all be debated. But, still games to be played.
BigDingus Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Looking at the current playoff teams' schedules, I'm wondering what the final seeding could look like given who we're all playing: 1) Steelers: @ Bills, @ Bengals, Colts & @ Browns (Opponents W/L - 28/19/1 and 3 x playoff teams) ***Most Playoff-bound Teams (Currently)*** 2) Chiefs: @ Dolphins, @ Saints, Falcons & Chargers (Opponents W/L - 25/23 and 2 x playoff teams) 3) Bills: Steelers, @ Broncos, @ Patriots, Dolphins (Opponents W/L - 29/19 and 2 x playoff teams) 4) Titans: @ Jaguars, Lions, @ Packers, @ Texans (Opponents W/L - 19/29 and 1 x playoff team) ***Lowest Opponent Win %*** 5) Browns: Ravens, @ Giants, @ Jets, Steelers (Opponents W/L - 23/25 and 1 playoff team) 6) Dolphins: Chiefs, Patriots, @ Raiders, @ Bills (Opponents W/L - 33/15 and 2 playoff teams) ***Highest Opponent Win %*** 7) Colts: @ Raiders, Texans, @ Steelers, Jaguars (Opponents W/L - 23/25 and 1 playoff team) Titans could easily move up based on their remaining schedule, plus they have the tie-breaker in a head-to-head against us. Dolphins have a rough schedule, as their worst opponent is still .500 & it happens to be the Patriots who you can never underestimate. Aside from that, the Bills technically have the 2nd most difficult schedule in terms of opponents' W/L record, barely edging out the Steelers. We likely need to finish these last games going 3-1 if we want to edge out Tennessee, barring a complete collapse on their part. We're definitely going to be tested down the stretch, but thankfully the Dolphins are too. Edited December 9, 2020 by BigDingus

Big Blitz Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) We're going to be playing Cleveland or Baltimore in round 1. Cleveland if 4 seed. Baltimore if 3. Hold on edit I just looked at the Browns schedule....and the Colts have 4 losses Ravens 5 so I don't know how a tiebreaker with those 2 would work. But the Ravens Colts and Browns could all have 5 losses and I don't know tiebreaker. 1. Chiefs 2. Steelers 3. Bills 4. Titans (I see losing only 1 more) 5. Browns (2 losses) 6. Colts (maybe 1 more loss) 7. Ravens (win out they'll beat Cleveland this week) Edited December 9, 2020 by Big Blitz

Ravens People talking about the Dolphins weak schedule, and how ours is so much harder.... The Jags are amazing. Look at their strength of victory - .667! They're clearly undervalued. 1
Solomon Grundy Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Hey Slim. Love the weekly power rankings thread. Thanks. Is it possible to add the offensive and defensive rankings as well or do a new thread need to be started? I see that as of week 14 the Bills are offense(4) and defense(14). 1
