Chance to make playoffs even with losing out - which will NOT happen unless there's a bus crash or something - is up 20 % higher than it was to start the day.

CLTbills Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I was listening to the pregame show on WGR and they raised an interesting question. If we lose out and still make the playoffs, how do you end up feeling about the season? Gotta be a disappointment if that happens. Good thing it wont - LET'S GO!!

BillsFanSD Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 This is a weird scenario, but according to 538 we clinch a playoff berth with a loss by Tennessee to Houston in week 17 no matter what happens in any other game. I don't pretend to understand the math behind that one -- it seems like the Colts should still have some kind of chance to catch us, but I guess not.

The Bills win the tie-breaker over the Colts and Titans if they all finish 9-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo can clinch a playoff spot with a win (and is still alive to catch the Patriots for the AFC East title), and the Steelers are trying to catch the Bills for the No. 5 wild-card berth, which is important since the No. 6 team is probably going to have to face the Chiefs in the wild-card round as opposed to traveling to Houston or Tennessee. This line stood at -1 and -1¹/₂ at most sportsbooks heading into the weekend. The short spread tells us the Steelers are only favored due to home-field advantage and that the Bills are the (slightly) better team. I agree https://nypost.com/2019/12/15/bills-vs-steelers-josh-allen-is-ready-for-this-moment/ The ridiculous write up above concludes KC can't possibly get he 2 seed meaning we can't possibly beat the Pats next week. Eff that and eff them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Titans' loss, would a win tonight clinch the #5 seed (barring winning the AFCE, of course)? Buffalo can't be 6th seed. other playoffs... nfc dal/Phil play next week. Dallas clinch division with win. Phi. Win they are in control. Minn needs to lose 2 and Rams need to win 2 to get the last WC. Seattle wins a tie wth NO and GB. If they all win out NO over seattle SF over go and NO gb magic number is 1 to clinch division it looks like SF-SEA game would be week 17 NBC game. for afc bills WC Steelers get to 10 wins they get WC Houston has the edge on them at 9-7. Pitt has edge on ten and indy Houston magic number is 1 for division title tenessee. For WC they needed to win out and have Pitt not win 2 At 12-4 KC has edge on NE and buffalo for seeding. They lose and Houston wins out for 11-5 then Houston get the edge in sorting. They also get the edge on NE at 11-5 if NE lose to BUF and then they both lose week 17. BAL needs to win one to earn a bye and earn home field. If buf beat NE they earn a bye. random thought........ it it be nice as a penalty for cheating Buf get the tiebreaker if they are tied for first.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 5. Buffalo Bills (10-4) - x The Bills clinched a playoff spot Sunday night by defeating the Steelers. And Buffalo isn't out of the AFC East race, either. As unlikely as it might seem, the Bills could overtake the Patriots by winning their final two games -- including next Saturday at New England -- and having the Patriots lose again in Week 17 to the Dolphins. But for now, the Bills will celebrate their second trip to the playoffs in the past three seasons.
