Plus if the chargers win and bills lose vs cheats dont the bolts jump ahead of us Well it's not that simple. Actually, yes it is that simple. There are 2 wild card spots that are basically going to go to either the Bills, Titans, Ravens or the Chargers. We have to finish in front of all but one of them. It's probably mathematically possible the Raiders could get in but highly unlikely as long as we hold up our end and get to 9-7. It's also possible but very unlikely Tennessee could win 2 more while Jax loses 2 more. That would result in Tennessee taking that division and Jax getting the 5th seed. In that case we would have to finish ahead of everybody else. Do the Chargers jump ahead of us if they win and we lose? Yeah, sort of. They beat us in a 2 way tie. But in a 3 way tie they most likely, or maybe, won't beat us because the head to head won't factor in. If the 3 way tie is with us, the Chargers and Titans, we will win as long as the Titans loss is to the Jags (assuming we lose to the Pats* and beat Miami). If the 3 way is with us, the Chargers and Baltimore we will most likely come out on top (again assuming the same Pats*-Miami scenario) via strength of victory. If we have a 4 way tie at 9-7 with the Chargers, Titans and Ravens we will possibly take the 5th seed as long as the Titans loss is to the Jags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means we are playing our first playoff game next week. Betting one and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 2 hours ago, Tuco said: No. Tenn is 5th we are 6th. Baltimore will get the 1st wild card...They are playing the Browns (which they won), Colts and Bengals at Home!..That is a 3-0 record to the bank The Titans play the Rams and the Jaguars. Both have a lot to play for with regards to a 1st round bye...So we have a good chance that the Titans lose both their remaining games and they lost today to SF. The Chargers are the only other team that can turn this topsy turvy.... They play the Jets at home this Sunday and then travel to Oakland to take on the Raiders..They could go 2-0 or 1-1. I believe the Bills still have a shot at it if they lose to the Patriots next week. They just would need the Chargers and Titans to go 0-2 during the next two weeks. The Jets without a QB have no chance to win that game in LA. The other would be that Charger go 2-0 and the chiefs go 0-2 against the Dolphins and Broncos...two teams with a losing record....Again a tough situation.... If the Bills beat the Patriots, they will be in the Drivers Seat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Wow, if the Bills only beat the Pats next week they are in the drivers seat! That's a comforting thought, given their success at NE since the Brady era began. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with that even if the three teams lose we may have a shot to the playoffs with a 8-8 record. In that scenario, even the Dolphins may be in with a chance.

NewEraBills Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) The Titans loss yesterday did not change their seeding. They are still in it and the Ravens are the 6. The Ravens actually have an easy road closing out against the Colts and the Bengals. The Titans are the ones with the toughest road as they close out against the Rams and the Jags. We need to win out and the Titans need to lose out and we are in for sure. 11 hours ago, Tuco said: No. Tenn is 5th we are 6th. Baltimore is 6th.
