Looking at Race for the #1 Seed

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

More important than the one seed IMO is not facing Baltimore in the divisional round. As things currently stand, unless there is an upset by 6 or 7, the five seeded Ravens (beating Houston in Wild Card round) would face KC in the divisional. That would be a dream scenario with Bills playing Steelers in Divisional.

 

we should be rooting hard for the Steelers here on out. 
 

Texans have a brutal schedule so I see them finishing as the four seeded division winner. 
 

Baltimore and Steelers will probably come down to the wire for the division.

It may be a bit early to discuss, but we are basically at the season midpoint. 

 

KC  7-0

BUF  6-2

I expect the AFC North teams to take each other out

KC Schedule

Unless the Bucs or Broncos win at Arrowhead, KC will be 9-0 coming to Orchard Park.

The only other challenging games on their schedule are PIT and HOU.

KC has a floor of 13 wins IMO.  Very likely they get to 14  

 

 

 

Personally, I don't see a very good chance of the #1 Seed.

 

BAL having 3 losses already & HOU losing last night certainly helps though. 
 

If we can win the next 2 games and beat KC to have the H2H Tiebreaker, we could have a legit shot at it 

KC has not been dominating this season.  They have won a bunch of close games and pulled away in the 4th in others…every single game was a one score game in the 4th quarter.  This team could easily be 3-4.

 

all divisional games are not easy games.  
Besides Bills…

they have 4 division games 2 against Denver 

cleveland, Houston, Pittsburgh, TB

Then there is Carolina 

 

bills have..

KC

4 div games

SF, Rams, Detroit , indy 

and their bye

I really don’t care about the number one seed because playing KC at home makes no difference.

 

I just want the Bills to win every game they play and just let the chips fall where they may.

The Bills look like a team that is building momentum right now while other top AFC teams are looking kind of vulnerable. I see the toughest remaining games the Bills play coming from NFC opponents.

It’s really too bad Evans and Godwin are out vs. the Chiefs.  The Bucs had a chance.  The Broncos may also have a chance with the way Payton is managing his team.

 

Id say, let’s make it through the Fish and Colts, and then we’ll have a better view, especially if the Chiefs stumble.

Bills do not need the #1 seed. KC will lose in the playoffs before meeting Buffalo.

Don’t think it will happen, but that scenario may be the Bills best chance at reaching the Super Bowl in the next 5 years or so.

I think this is possible....

 

Chiefs, Bills, Steelers and Texans get conference champions with (5h) Ravens, (6th) Chargers and (7th) Colts.

Other teams possible for 6th and 7th but essential Steelers for 3rd and Ravens for 5th.

 

1st round playoffs:

Chiefs have bye. Bills & Steelers team win vs opponents; Ravens upsets 4th Texans.

 

2nd round playoffs:

Chiefs vs Ravens - Ravens lose but defense hammer Chiefs offense and Steelers offense bruises Chiefs defense.

Bills vs Steelers - Bills win.

 

AFC Championship:

Bills overcome Chiefs, Mahone whines on field Bills won because Chiefs were injured.
