Process Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited January 2, 2023 by Process 3 1 Quote

NBC prefers Packers-Lions over TEN-JAX in the event the Bills lose to Cincy (ratings, you know: Ten and JAX are small markets). Edited January 2, 2023 by chongli Quote

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: Quote

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. 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.). Edited January 2, 2023 by What a Tuel 1 Quote

BLeonard Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 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. 2 Quote

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. 3 1 Quote
