    If the Bills have one fewer loss than KC, we get the tie breaker & no need for a neutral field, but if the Bills have one fewer loss than Cincy & we play them, then it's on a neutral field since Cincy never got the chance to win & beat us for the #1 seed in the cancelled game.  

    This is also not accurate.  If the Bills have a better record than Cincy (Bills win or both Bills and Cincy lose this weekend) then Bills host against Cincy as well.

     

    There are only THREE scenarios where there is a neutral site:

    Scenario 1: If Buffalo and Kansas City both win or both tie in Week 18, then a Buffalo vs. Kansas City championship game would be at a neutral site.

    Scenario 2: If the Bills and Chiefs both lose in Week 18 and Baltimore wins or ties with the Bengals, then a Buffalo vs. Kansas City championship game would be at a neutral site.

    Scenario 3: If Buffalo and Kansas City both lose and Cincinnati beats Baltimore, then a Bills or Bengals vs. Chiefs championship game would be at a neutral site.

    I think it will be on a neutral field, as the Chiefs and Bills will have played a different number of games. Same with Chiefs and Bengals. But Bills and Bengals will be played at either Orchard Park or the Jungle, depending on how Sunday plays out.

    While true they would have uneven games, it essentially doesn't matter.  Had the game been played and the Bills lost to Cincinnati, given the scenario Bills beat Patriots and Chiefs lose to Vegas, the Bills would still outrank them.

    I like how everyone is just automatically assuming the chiefs are winning this week.  Bottom line, if they lose and we win, we get the 1 seed.  Yeah the championship game could still be at a neutral field, but the bills would get the Bye 

    I'm pretty sure that if the Bills win and the Chiefs lose, the AFC championship game is in Buffalo no matter what because they have the head-to-head against the Chiefs (and a better win-loss record) and would hold a better record than the Bengals.

    Am I the only one that thinks the nfl found the most convoluted solution possible?   I think they figure if no one understands it, then we’ll all assume its fair.  

    I actually think it makes a ton of sense after parsing it all out.  I'm impressed even.  It does the least amount of damage possible.  I think the only messy bit is if Baltimore beats Cincinnati and they happen to meet again in the playoffs.  Having home-field advantage come down to a coin toss won't feel great.  I bet the NFL is praying this situation doesn't happen.
