Bengals, Dolphins, Broncos -Who do you want to see as the 7th seed?

Why do you say it’s looking like the Dolphins? It’s still very firmly looking like the Broncos. Dolphins need them to lose AND they need to win their last game with potentially a back up QB

Broncos have chiefs, who maybe don't want to rest starters two full weeks in a row. Fins have the pathetic jets led by a QB worse than Huntley.

I don't think KC will want to rest their players for two straight weeks when they're finally playing their best football of the year.

 

Miami is playing a Jets team with half the roster running for the bus.

 

Obviously anything can happen, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't Miami.

Are we worried about Miami?  Serious question. I'm always nervous. 3x in a season I don't like the odds given how many times we won and some of them have been close. 

[Billznut]

I think the Chiefs will play their healthy starters for maybe a quarter or so, try to build a lead and then pull starters and hope to hang on.

I would prefer to play the Broncos over them but they're still a much better option than the Bengals IMO. They would have to play in what is likely to be extreme cold, and we know how much that hinders them, plus we would have the psychological advantage of being the team they can never get past. I worry a bit that they could turn it into a shootout like they did in our last game, but ultimately we would have a lot of factors in our favor.

 

But let's hope Denver beats KC's backups next week and we get the most favorable path.

Denver is favored by -9.5 so it’s safe to assume Denver will probably win next week because KC is resting everybody important.

Not related but saw that Baltimore is -18.5 for Cleveland. That's a college line.

KC is going to rest starters & use the 2 weeks to rest up. Maybe they'll use the Broncos game to try out some new gadget plays & experiment a bit, or maybe they'll put some new things on film to give their 2nd round opponent something to think about.

 

Or maybe they'll just use these two weeks to study & get some extra film time in. Either way, I fully expect the Broncos to win, as they control their own destiny. I highly doubt Miami will sneak in. Even so, I feel the Bills SHOULD handle whichever team pretty well.

 

As usual, the problem will be the divisional round & likely having to face the Ravens. It'll be really upsetting if we end up losing to Burrow, then Mahomes, then Lamar back-to-back-to-back in the 2nd round.

If you watched DTR you would know why.  He is atrocious.

Everyone is reporting that they are resting their starters though nothing official from the team.

This.

Anyone but Cinci.

 

I genuinely give it 50/50 odds we lose in the wildcard round if we play Cinci.

Because if the Bengals upset the Bills, Cincinnati goes to KC for the Divisional game. If I'm KC, i'd much rather play any other team besides the Bills and Ravens than Cincinnati in the Divisional round. The Bengals had their regular season game won besides the late PI

I suppose but I don’t think the chiefs really fear them at all. It’s a great matchup for them, they have the defense to stop them and would likely hammer them on offense.

Chiefs are resting everyone. Take it from me. They want no piece of the Bengals in the post season. Andy might start himself at Quarterback.

I'd make the Bills favourites but not by much. It would be a very losable game. Both defenses are struggling big time so it would likely be a shootout.

A loss to the bengals (or dolphins) would be devastating.
