Pretty big deal. I'm very surprised they did this. Beat the Bengals and Raiders beat Chiefs and we clinch the 1 seed. Or if we lose tomorrow and KC wins, 3 seed is basically a lock. Either way we can rest starters. 

 

nice advantage for us, though the most likely scenario is both us and the chiefs win and this won't matter.

Nah no way IMO. As mentioned, Bills could have the 1 seed locked up before the game. They wouldn't put that on SNF.

will be 1 of those.

Giants are locked into the 6 seed and have nothing to play for. 

 

I'm shocked they didn't put the jags game Sunday night. 

 

NFL probably hoping for a bills win tomorrow so they can put Baltimore Cincinnati on SNF.

Giants have nothing to play for now and the Eagles mightn't either ..

NBC prefers Packers-Lions over TEN-JAX in the event the Bills lose to Cincy (ratings, you know: Ten and JAX are small markets).

only if the Bills win on MNF because then both #1 seed (Bills) and Wild Card Berth (Patriots) are in play

If the Bills win, SNF will probably be Baltimore-Cincy as that would be for the division. Plus, if KC lost Saturday, the Bills wouldn't have a need to win Sunday and could rest their starters (angering Miami). If the Bills lost to Cincy, the Packers-Detroit would probably be the SNF game. Also, a slight chance it could be Philly-NYG. Those are really the only three options.

 

As I posted on the other thread:

Bunch of scenarios:

 

Bills win tomorrow:

Week 18:

KC loss, Bills win, Bills clinch 1st seed

KC win, Bills win, Bills clinch 1st seed

KC loss, Bills loss, Bills clinch 1st seed

KC win, Bills loss, Bills clinch 2nd seed

 

Bills lose tomorrow:

Week 18:

Bills win, KC loss, Cinci loss, Bills clinch 1st seed

Bills win, KC wins, Cinci loss, Bills clinch 2nd seed

Bills win, KC loss, Cinci wins, Bills clinch 2nd seed

Bills win, KC wins, Cinci wins, Bills clinch 3rd seed

Bills loss, KC loss, Cinci loss, Bills clinch 3rd seed

Bills loss, KC wins, Cinci wins, Bills clinch 3rd seed

Bills loss, KC loss, Cinci wins, Bills clinch 3rd seed

Bills loss, KC win, Cinci loss, Bills clinch 3rd seed

 

So technically we have more scenarios to get 2nd seed than 1st or 3rd if we lose tomorrow and win against the Pats.

 

If we beat the Pats week 18:

3rd seed likely plays against the Ravens

2nd seed likely plays against the Dolphins

 

Who plays them likely depends on our game tomorrow. (If we win, Ravens and Bengals can swap positions with a Ravens win week 18 over the Bengals.).

AFC is a bit more complicated than the NFC, as the AFC has no seeds locked in, while the NFC has two.

 

Here are the teams that can still win each particular seed:

 

AFC

1 - BUF, KC, CIN
2 - BUF, KC, CIN
3 - BUF, KC, CIN, BLT
4 - JAX, TEN
5 - CIN, LAC, BLT
6 - CIN, LAC, BLT
7 - JAX, NE, MIA, PIT

 

If the Bills win on MNF, the Bills and Chiefs can't be the 3 seed and Cincinnati can't be the 1 or 2 seed.

If the Bengals win on MNF, the Ravens can't be the 3 seed.

 

NFC

1 - PHI, SF, DAL
2 - PHI, SF, MIN, DAL
3 - SF, MIN
4 - TB
5 - PHI, DAL
6 - NYG
7 - SEA, DET, GB

 

In the NFC, the NY Giants will go to either SF or MIN, while Tampa Bay will host either PHI or DAL in the Wild Card Round.

You'd still have NE playoff implications.

Lions/ Packers or Ravens/ Bengals make a lot of sense.. probably one of those 2

Milton, I thought I was one of the few.  Everyone gets so excited about Primetine, but when it’s SNF, MNF, or TNF it means I’m either falling asleep in the 2nd half and watching the rest in the morning or I’m miserable the next day.  I get up for the gym and work at 4-5am everyday.  
 

I realize most people get up at 6pm, but my body clock won’t even allow it.
