We play one more game than everyone else this year.  Remember, the schedule makers are out to screw us.

 

They are favoring the bigger markets again

People in the AFC should start worrying about Cincinnati.  Even with injuries they look better than last season.  Their D is better than KC or Buffalo's.  

 

They have a very tough remaining schedule. If they come through that relatively unscathed they will be a favourite going into the playoffs.

I can't wait for the Miami game.  I hope we destroy them. I highly dislike that franchise

I am hoping for a deep freeze...no wind, no snow, just freeze their butt's into the turf to be trampled on the next few years before we open the new stadium.

Take a deep breath

The Bills next three games will shape how they seed.  Win all three and it almost guarantee a second seed.  Watch for the Bengals surge.  KC is always at the top. 

[Captain Hindsight]

Am I the only one not worried about winning in Arrowhead? The Bills are 2-1 in their last 3 games there and if not for a horrible defensive collapse, 3-0.

 

The Chiefs don't really scare me.

Not the end of the world. Go hard for the AFCE and #2 seed.  Then wait for someone to beat Mahomes before we face them. 

I don’t think it’s the end of the world either. In fact, getting healthy is way more important than any seed. At least IMO. 

[hemma]

LV has picked the pace and their last game of the year is home vs KC.

That’ll be their Super Bowl and I think they can win it.

 

We’ll need that KC loss, along with Cincinnati beating them to get #1.

[Awwufelloff]

Just hope we win the division. I'd be happy with that after all these injuries. 

[teef]

as a fan, with the way this season has gone, i'm very much in one game at a time mode.  get beyond thursday, and then i'll start thinking about the jets.

They are also 0-2 in the playoffs there the last 2 years… and McD is 0-4 on the road in the playoffs. 

 

Really want that #1 seed. If the Bills, 49ers and Bengals all win this week then do the Bills have the #1 seed?

I get that, I just think it’s a game they can win

[Negan]

I'm surprised the Bills will play all their divisional road games first before having any of them at home, this has to be a schedule record.  

[DCofNC]

The Chiefs schedule sounded a lot harder at the start of the season, they SHOULD win out.

I think KC will be the #1 seed unfortunately. Buffalo the #2 seed. Baltimore the #3 seed (their remaining road is a lot easier than Cincy), Tennessee a weak #4 seed. Then Miami #5, Chargers #6, Bengals #7. 

 

I'd actually be surprised if it isn't those 7 in the AFC playoffs at this point (even if my seeding predictions end up a bit off). 

Agree on KC. The only team that I think will give them trouble is the Raiders, a divisional opponent that has talent and the ability to score a lot of points. I don't see them losing to Cincy, and the rest of their schedule is an absolute cakewalk (Denver twice, Houston, Seattle at home). I have them as the AFC SB representative facing off against SF. A bye and home field is just too much of an advantage. In the NFC, I think Dallas and SF are the two best teams and basically equal overall, but I'm going with the superior coach (Shanahan over McCarthy). Barring catastrophic injuries, a KC-SF SB seems like the most likely scenario to me.

KC losing to the Bengals and the Seahawks or Raiders would be quite nice

Hàaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

They lost to the Jets 

 

 

Gentlemen, thank you.

 

...man...that is a big deal.  Very cool.  That helps.  

 

However, and we already knew this, but we have to run the table against the East.

 

A buddy of mine sent me calculations (from whoever does it, forwarded by Joe DiBiase) that says if the Bills win these next 3 division games they 95% chance to win the East and a 58% chance at home field advantage.

 

LET'S GO!!!

I could definitely see the Chiefs losing to the Bengals. It would be a big upset for the Raiders or Seahawks to beat them.

As the biggest weather worrier on here, the silver lining to not getting the #1 seed is getting to play in a stadium in the playoffs without gale force winds. 

Arrowhead stadium is one of the coldest stadiums in the NFL.  It's a nightmare environment in the playoffs.

Cold schmold. It’s all about the wind! Our stadium has to be the absolute worst for wind. I follow the weather for these games pretty religiously, and I have not seen the types of wind gust speed anywhere else, even Cleveland, which one would think would be comparable. 
 

my hope with the new stadium is they figure out a way to neutralize the high winds.
