Buffalo Playoff position scenarios

[CorkScrewHill]

Bills are 2nd seed if win and Cincy and KC lose

Bills are 3rd seed if win and either Cincy or KC lose

Bills are 4th seed if win and Cincy and KC win

Bills are 4th seed if lose and Patriots lose

Bills are 6th seed if lose and Colts lose (Raiders / Chargers winner would have a better conference record – ignoring tie)

Bills are 7th seed if lose and Colts win (Colts as well as Raiders / Chargers winner would have a better conference record)

Most likely seem #4 with outside chance at 3. 

[Ray Stonada]

Most likely playoff bracket seems to be (edited as I pasted in the wrong thing):

 

1. Tennessee Titans (bye)

2. Kansas City Chiefs vs. 7. L.A. Chargers
3. Cincinnati Bengals vs. 6. Indianapolis Colts
4. Buffalo Bills vs. 5. New England Patriots

So in that scenario the Bills host Indy and then would go to Nashville assuming the Patriots beat the Bengals. Then, the rematch in KC.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the winner of the Chargers-Raiders game in while the loser is out. Baltimore isn't making it.

A. I really worry about beating Indy

B. I do not see NE beating Cinci, unless Burrow is real banged up

So you think Tennesee will lose to Houston and somehow the Ravens will get in?

Yep, but only if we tie against the Jets and the Pats beat the Fins.

I think the Ravens have a scenario where they get in , but it’s probably an oddball type thing.

So…in this scenario the Bills host and beat NE before heading to Nashville and THEN…the rematch in KC. Yes?

I’d prefer the Colts to a 3rd meeting with Belichick, McDaniels and co.

Yep. Though I could also see Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase running wild and taking out KC again.

 

PS apologies to everyone for the wrong bracket I originally posted.

In any case, there are going to be some really interesting story lines, including…. 
 

Home rematch of the Wind Bowl?

At the Music City Miracle?

Rematch at KC?

Rematch of the Iggy Shuffle AFC championship game?

All cool stories. The Bengals of Ickey Woods, Boomer Esiason, Tim McGee, etc., used to scare me back in 1988. They were like the Pistons to Buffalo's Bulls. It was so good to finally vanquish them.

That's okay we had fun piling on!!!😁

[Nextmanup]

Here's the deal as I see it:

 

We will beat the Jets on Sunday and win the division; and get a single home game against New England almost certainly.

 

We'll then go on the road, and that path will ultimately go through Kansas City in the championship game, yet again.

 

If we play our best football we can beat everyone in the AFC including KC.

 

If we play up and down or falter, as we have done several times this year, any of these teams will beat us.

 

I can't wait for it to get started!

 

 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I am rooting for Browns over cincy, and Raiders over chargers. That would result in:

 

1) Tenn (bye)

2) Colts (7) v KC (2)

3) raiders (6) v Bills (3)

4) patriots (5) v Bengals (4)

Looking forward to seeing a home playoff game with a packed house. Its been what 27 years since the last time we had a home playoff game with sellout crowd.
