The Buffalo/Cincy game is going to be for all the marbles. 
 

I think if the Bills win, they get homefield and it sets up for a possible 2 vs 7 matchup between KC and LAC. A healthy LA team can win that one. 

 

 

I think the Bills could lose that and still be the 1 or 2 seed (KC). Bengals still have to play the Ravens again who currently lead the division.

It’s going to be race to the finish line this month with the Bills, Chiefs and Bengals. KC has to be considered in the drivers seat with their remaining schedule. But…the Bills have it all in front of them. Win out and you get a week off. 

 

I have a feeling the Pats are going to mess up seeding for somebody. They play Buffalo, Cincinnati, and Miami down the stretch. Something in my gut says they win one of those games and it either changes the 1 seed or boots Miami from the playoffs.

You could be right and that’s why I say KC is sitting there in a nice spot. The Bills however control their own destiny. At some point you just need to win them all….just like in the playoffs.

My gutt says they beat Miami in Foxboro in a very cold game and they sack Tua 6 times. Pats end up w the 6 seed and face Baltimore and win, (Jackson is contained and gets his usual playoff yips.) then get  crushed by Buffalo in Buffalo. Lol

We will see how this plays out, but I am pretty confident the Bills will beat the Dolphins, Bears, and Pats. It's the Bengals game that will be tough. Win that one and the Bills probably have the #1 seed.

I hate to be ‘that guy’ but if the Bills win all four they ABSOLUTELY have the #1 seed. It doesn’t make any difference which game they lose.

Bears game could be a trap game for the Bills. Their D isn’t terrible and they can be sneaky good at times on O. But if the Bills play like they can they shouldn’t have an issue but they could be caught looking ahead to the Bengals

Why would the Bills go to Foxboro to play Miami? 😉

I know. I meant it as the Bengals game is the only one the Bills might lose assuming they handle their business in the other games. Obviously, upsets happen but they should win against the Fins, Pats, Bears.

This is not real math. But messing around in the playoff machine, it feels like the only way for NE to end up in the 6 seed is for them to at least go 2-1 against Buffalo, Cincinnati, and Miami.

The Bills won't look ahead to the bengals, that game is like 10 days after the bears game

Well I see the phins losing 3 of their last 4 games which puts them at 9-8 which would give them the same record as the Pats and I think the Pats get the tie breaker.. I also see the Jets losing out. (Lions, Seahawks,and Jags all playing well and 2 also in the playoff mix with better O’s) 

 

Chargers are the wild card to me since you never know which team shows up. They could win out or lose 3 of 4.

True but they come right after a tough Phins game and it could happen. Even unfocused the Bills should beat them just saying it could be a tougher game than you think.

I agree that the game could be tough. Fields can give anyone fits and the weather could be garbage too

Week 14 with four HUGE games remaining. If Bills beat MIA, they “should” do no worse than the 3 seed. If the Bills win out, they’ll finish 14-3 and everything goes thru Orchard Park with an extra week of rest.  Here are my predictions.

 

1. Buffalo     14-3    Wins against MIA, CHI, CIN and NE

2. KC.           14-3    Wins against Hou, SEA, DEN and LVR

3. CIN.          13-4    Wins against TB, NE and BALT, Lose to the Bills

4. TN.           9-8      Wins against HOU and Jax, Lose to LAC and DAL

5. Balt.         12-5     Wins against CLE, ATL and Pitt, lose to Cinncy

6. LAC.         11-6     Wins against TN, Indy, LVR and Den

7.  MIA.         10-7     Wins against GB and NE, lose to BUF and NYJ

 

Thoughts? Anyone seeing it different? Obviously ALOT can change but beating MIA puts the Bills in a good position.

 


 

 

 KC has the easiest remaining schedule so unless someone REALLY surprises them, they will for sure finish their season 14-3. That Cincy game scares me for Buffalo, playing in Cincy. They are playing some really great well rounded football right now and if i am being honest and realistic, that game could go either way. If we lose that game, it will end up being us and KC in KC... AGAIN for the AFC Championship and I REALLY want that to be a home game for us.

I would love to see Miami or the NYJ open up wildcard weekend against KC…….I could see either pulling the upset.

Bears have the 4th worst defense based on DVOA……Bears are not a good team at all. Their #1 Wr was also lost for the season. 3-10…..Bills will dismantle the Bears……I see that score being a 35-13 type game.

DVOA is a geek stat. They are not terrible on D the issue is they are out there to much.

I could see the Jets pulling off the upset because of their defense. KC would score too much on the Fins and no way Tua as limited as he is wins a shootout with Mahomes
