Tell that to Zac Taylor who said last night, They don't want us in the tournament I promise.  Then said they can take it all the way if they get in.

 

 

Denver and miami have to lose.

 

Both are very doable.

What do you expect him to say?

Gotta think the Chargers are motivated to win today and go to Houston rather than Baltimore.  That sets up a 3rd Steelers/Ravens matchup, and while I think Pittsburgh is trash you never know what might happen in one of those games.

 

I’ve gotten to the point where I’m no longer “worrying” about who the Bills play, though.  We’re a damn good team and will have a great opportunity to beat anyone we face.

 

It’s more fun when we can blow a team out in the playoffs and maybe rest some starters. Let’s hope it’s Denver

I expected him to say The Chilli in Cincy is disgusting and an insult to Chilli.

I want Kansas City and Miami to win for a lot of reasons.

 

1. I want the Bills to be the "1" in Kansas City's 16-1.

 

2 I genuinely dislike Sean Payton.

 

3. Denver has the best defense out of our 3 prospective opponents. Defense travels well in playoffs.

 

4. Between how they fare against us coupled with how they play in the cold, playing in Buffalo in January would be so self defeating in the heads of the Dolphins.

Not sure whether to believe that. For starters, the Vikings will be at the Buccaneers.

[UKBillFan]

Falcons up 3-0; Bucs down 3-0.

He’s a Steelers beat guy. He absolutely is plugged in. Whether or not that comes to fruition is yet to be seen. At the same time, this isn’t some random guy on Twitter throwing something at the wall to see if it’ll stick.

I would have thought Broncos-Bills would be at one. But I guess it's to be on Denver time, to an extent, and they may be able to build on Nix/Peyton v Josh.

Bucs at Vikings is not even possible 

 

Bucs would be division champs if they get in, Vikings would be #1 seed if they won their division and therefore not play next week

Didn’t look like one last night, or during the last five games in a row that they’ve won.

They've allowed 434 points on the year compared to the Bills 345. That's with the abysmal Rams and Detroit game. They are a dumpster fire.

I have a hard time believing they would screw over the 14 -3 loser of the Sunday night game and make them play Saturday. 

Bet it’ll be this unless it’s bengals at Bills then flip flop the chargers vs Texans games with ours

 

Saturday:
4:30  Broncos at Bills
8:00 Chargers at Texans

Sunday:
1:00 Steelers at Ravens
4:30 Commanders at Rams
8:20 Packers at Eagles

Monday:
8:15 Vikings at Buccaneers

I watched the game last night.  The Bengals’ defense played very well on the road against a playoff team.  They also plated well against Denver last week.  I understand that they had some bad games early in the season.  They appear to be playing much better now. Not sure why you want to argue that point.

How would that constitute “screwing over” the Bills?  Edit: now I see what you were talking about.

Vikings or Lions loser

 

 

All the AFC games will run from Saturday to Sunday at 1pm and all the NFC games will run from Sunday at 4pm ET to Monday.

Two games do not constitute a trend. I need more proof over a 17 game season, than "the last two games..."

[BigDingus]

I'm just making peace with the fact we'll have to beat the Burrow, Lamar & Mahomes in the playoffs. 

 

It seems we're always destined for the 2 seed, so just gotta accept that the only way to the SB is 3 straight playoff wins & a fight against KC.

 

The biggest worry is, as always, the defense. Can they play well against elite QBs? Will they ever show they're capable of stopping the run? Their history says no, but we have to hope something changes...

[TheFunPolice]

MNF playoff game always seems to be the "why is this a playoff game?" Matchup 

[Rockpile233]

I went ahead and bet Chiefs and Jets to win parlay +930 to soften the blow. Now that I bet it it’s also 100% guaranteed to not happen.
