Sure. What if the Ravens win? Broncos play Chargers this Thursday. NONE of the seeding is anywhere set in stone. Quote

Aussie Joe Posted December 16 Posted December 16 Three games left with a two game deficit… The Bills play three bottom feeders and the Chiefs play three playoff contenders… It ain’t over 5 4 Quote

Not to mention that the Chiefs games are before the Bills next 2 games. KC ends playing Denver who may have a lot to play for. 1 Quote

Tough but the latter can happen given who they are playing and Mahomes likely to be gimpy 1 Quote
billsfan89 Posted December 16 Posted December 16 Bills are not in a bad spot at all. Of course the division is secured ensuring a top 4 seed and a home game. The Bills have a 2 game lead on the Texans but no tie breaker, the Bills have a 1 game lead on the Steelers not sure about the tie breaker scenario, and the Bills have a 2 game lead on the Ravens. Bills simply need to win 2 out of 3 to secure the 2 seed. That's a pretty comfortable margin of error. One win most likely secures the 3 seed. As far as the 1 seed the Bills will only have a shot at it if they win out. Certainly plausible to win out three division games against lackluster opponents two at home but division games are always tricky. KC needs to lose 2 out of 3 which under most circumstances would not be likely. But with a tough schedule Texans, Steelers, and Broncos and Mahomes with an ankle injury that may have him missing a game that's a possibility maybe 40%. TLDR: Win out secure the 2 seed and give yourself a shot at the 1 seed. 1 Quote
dma0034 Posted December 16 Posted December 16 Win the next two games and the Bills can rest all the starters in week 18 unless there is an opportunity for the #1 seed. I think if the opportunity arose to rest your starters in week 18 or play them with the hope of getting the 1 seed I would take the rest 1 Quote

I think if the opportunity arose to rest your starters in week 18 or play them with the hope of getting the 1 seed I would take the rest It is important the team gets a rest at some stage … worst case scenario is that they are still battling away Week 18 and miss out on the 1 seed 1 Quote

bills6969 Posted December 16 Posted December 16 Texans at 2 pt favs against KC next week. Imo our chance at a 1 seed rests on this game. Mahomes presumably not going to play. 1 Quote
