With the win over the Chiefs, the Bills are solidly in contention for the #1 seed, and when you look at the remaining schedule the Bills would appear to have the advantage, at least on paper.

 

And we get a week to rest up before we make our final run  of 6 games whereas  the Chiefs have to play 7 games.

 

The Bills have really one tough game remaining, at Detroit, whereas the Chiefs finish the season on the road at Pittsburgh and Denver. 
 

Chiefs:                               Bills:

@ Carolina                          vs San Fran

vs Vegas.                             @ Rams

vs Chargers.                         @ Lions

@ Cleve.                               vs NE

vs Houston.                           vs Jets

@Pitt.                                     @ NE

@Denver

 

KC realistically could lose 5 of those games. Denver had them.

I’m guessing you mean it helped the Giants a helluva lot more than it helped us.

No, meaning both teams were 11-2 heading into that game, and there was a lot of suspicion that could be a SB preview.  Funny enough, that game was on Dec 15th as well.  So another late in the season matchup that could be a SB preview.

The Chargers should have won the last game, you never know what you get from Winston in the Browns (Saint or sinner), Houston should have their WRs back or at least one, Pitt has proven they are for real this year with a revitalized Wilson, and Denver should have beaten them last time if not for that chip shot blocked FG.

 

Juxtapose SF is not the same, and Detroit is a wrecking machine.  I peg us at 14-3 with the head to head.

 

The last piece to this for the #1 seed is the Steelers.

 

@ Browns

@ Bengals

Browns again

@ Eagles

@Ravens

@Steelers

 

Theres no way a Tomlin led team will run the table.  The terrible towels will probably lose 2.

 

So nothing is easy, but I’m feeling a lot better for at least a fighters chance at the #1 seed. What I don’t know is will we learn enough in the first Detroit game to beat them in the big show.  For me, it’s enjoy the ride amd we’ll know in a couple of months.

The Bills will be favored in 5 of their last 6 games.   They are a better team than 5-5 SF and 5-5 LAR.  NE and the Jets stink and are basically already eliminated from the playoffs.  Is the LAR game a "trap" game because it's on the road on the West Coast?  Maybe, but the Bills have been very good under McD since 2020 playing at or near the Left Coast.  Honestly, the Det game is the only one that scares me. That team is scary, but a victory over Det on the road should give us great confidence heading into the playoffs.

 

Bills Rockies West road record since 2020. (6-1 and AZ got lucky to beat us).

I see the Bills losing to the Lions. All the other games are very winnable. SF isn't as good as people thought they would be. I know they have injuries but so does every team. 

 

As for the Chiefs they will be challenged by the Chargers. Harbaugh has got them playing well. At Pittsburgh and Denver won't be easy. Even the Texans game at home is no gimme either.

Everybody seems to be giving the Bills a loss in the Lions game. While that may be the case, we could have a game like the Texans had against them where Goff was really off and threw 5 INTs. Also Milano might be back for that one. As long as doesnt go the way of the Thanksgiving game in 1994 I think we should be in it!
