Bengals over Chiefs

Broncos over Chiefs

Dolphins over Titans

Texans over Titans

Browns over Bengals

 

In addition to us winning out

 

So 0%

Add that Colts need to lose to the raiders or jags. 

 

So 6 games need to go our way including several underdogs winning. And we need to win out. Lol.

I just want the division so we’re guaranteed at least one home playoff game

The 1 and 2 seeds are pretty much pipe dreams at this point.  The question is who do we want to face in WC weekend?  I think everyone is still recovering from the Colts beat down but that goes two ways…do we want the Pats*** again?  I don’t really care; once the playoffs start you play who’s in front of you without fear.  I’ll tell you this; there is NO team out there thinking they “want” to play Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.

 

things could turn out in a way for the Bills to end up having to play the Colts and Titans as they move through the Playoffs. That'd be a hell of a narrative especially if in the third game they face the Chiefs.

The Bills had plenty of chances to be the #1 seed, but the close losses to Jax, Ten, and the 1st Pats game doomed that possibility.

The Bills will be the 3 seed.

 If the idea is to avoid the Colts in the Wild Card round then moving up to the 3rd seed seems necessary given the Colts schedule the last 2 weeks.  Raiders at home, Jags on the road.  Can't make a good case they'd lose either. 

 

Colts are gonna play a backup QB against a hungry LV team. I dont know if all their OL are back from this past weekend. So that’s a pretty good case for them to lose that one.

If we don't have that, it's only because we blew it.

 

I think that is exactly where we end up, and that's fine.  

 

We need to play our best football of the season and take it 1 game at a time.  

 

When the smoke is cleared, I think it will be KC and Buffalo in the AFC Championship game, again...just as Las Vegas has predicted all season long, going back to August.

 

We're still the 2 best teams in the AFC and have the 2 most explosive offenses.

I played around with potential week 17 and 18 results until I had the Bills at the 1 seed

I excluded using any Ties

 

you need

1. Titans lose two ant Colts lose 1.

2. chiefs lose two

3. Bengals lose 1

 

all 3 occur Buffalo gets 1 seed

2 occur they get 2 seed

2 occur they get 3 seed

 

games this mrans

 

week 17 

 

bengals over chiefs

dolphins over titans

Raiders over colts

 

week 18

( first three winners are at home) 

broncos over chiefs

browns over bengals. Cleveland won first meeting 

texans over titans   Texans won first meeting 

jags over colts ( if colts win in week 17)

 

outside the last game of Jags,  The others are not a stretch that those teams can win.

Browns over Bengals is way more likely than broncos over chiefs, imo

Bengals are playing extremely well.
