I’d love for the Bills to get 11 or more wins, but there are expectations and then there’s reality. Their schedule is about to get a lot tougher. Ravens have won 8 in a row and beat both NE and SF. The Steelers may not have a dynamic offense, but they’re physical and tough. Their defense is a top ten unit in both yards and points allowed, ( BAL and PIT are 5th and 7th in scoring defense) and the game has been flexed to prime time. That won’t be a cakewalk by any means. Fortunately, the Bills have stacked wins and have some breathing room. I wouldn’t view a 10 win season as a letdown at all. The sequence of the wins shouldn’t tarnish the record, as this isn’t college football. While none of the remaining games is unwinnable, they’ve never beaten NE in foxboro when Brady played the entire game. Take it for what it’s worth.
I’m not certain what the reason is, but a 3 way tie at 10-6 with the Texans , Bills, and Titans including a Titans sweep of HOU knocks the Bills out in my scenarios on playoff machine( ESPN). It doesn’t give explanations that I know of, and I haven’t reviewed tiebreaking procedures to figure it out. Seems to be one of the few situations the Bills could miss out in. Edit: this is factoring in a Bills loss to PIT
