Buffalo will use the jets game as a playoff dress rehearsal. The 2 seed and a defacto bye week is in hand with a win. 

 

You'll see buffalo play at extremely high level vs the jets but still hold things back scheme wise. Josh probably won't run vs the jets. 

 

 

 

You can elevate 2 extra guys per week. 

 

Unlimited call ups are allowed in the playoffs.

 

So for example if the bills want to elevate Hyde for each playoff game they can. 

 

In the regular season you're only allowed to be called up 4x I think. Anything more and said player has to be signed to the 53.

 

There are other caveats and loopholes but that's the general rules 

In the regular season you can only call up a player 3 times, not 4. After that, they'd need to be waived so any team could try to put them on their practice squad.

It is if the Bills beat the Jets. If the Chiefs beat the Steelers and Bills beat the Jets the Bills will be 13-3 and the Ravens will be 11-5 with one week to play locking the Bills into the 2 seed 

Right and the Ravens at 3 is terrifying

Probably...Chargers have two cupcakes and they need 1 win so they likely are in.   The Broncos have to play the Bengals and Chiefs....if they lose both then the 7 seed might be Colts (two cupcakes) or Bengals (Steelers week 17).

 

I think the Bills likely with the 2 seed will play Broncos, Colts or Bengals in that order of probability.  I feel like it is reasonable it could be the Colts.  It could also be the Dolphins if lots of improbably things happen.

 

I see the Bengals have a better shot than the Colts, not exactly sure why....I get they are better than the Colts but the Colts play Giants and Jags and Bengals play Broncos/Steelers.

I feel like Bangles lose to Broncos and Steelers. If Im any team in the wild card hunt, I wanna be the Colts right now

They definitely are.

 

the potential for Pittsburgh to end up the 6 seed and go to Baltimore and win still exists.  If the Steelers go there with Pickens healthy it will be a tight game.

 

I imagine the ravens do not want that scenario.
