The Raiders/Fish game is one of the games moved to 12/26 from 12/27. The Bills play two nights later on MNF.

 

The next Sunday the Bills and Fish play in what could possibly be a game for the division title.

 

The Fish get an extra two days to reat and prepare. Big deal or no?

Raiders will beat the fish, and so will Buffalo, this timing chatter is much ado about nothing. 
 

Go Bills!!!

If the Bills go into week 17 with the same 1 game lead as they have right now that game is likely meaningless.

Is that because we will have more division wins for the tie-breaker for the division (since Head to Head will be 1-1).

you realize if both teams win out thru week 16 buffalo clinches the division before this game is played.

 

 

tiebreakers

 

1H2H buf 1-0

2 division. Buff 4-0. Miami 2-2

3 common games. Non common..buf 0-1, Mia 1-0. Miami hosts Cincinnati next week.buffalo hosts Pittsburgh.

4 conference. Nfc buff is 2-1, Mia 3-1.

if any of the following happens and buff isahead of Mia by one game they clinch division after week 16.

 

1 Mia beat cincinati next week 

2 Mia lose to New England in week 15 

3 buffalo beat NE in week 16

4 buffalo lose to Pittsburgh in week 14.

 

any of those happen and buffalo is ahead by 2 games with 2 to play or 3games with 3 to play means buffalo clinches finishes ahead of Miami.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

let’s not forget...Miami still has KC and vegas to play

Yes, I do realize that.

 

Do you understand what the words "could possibly" mean?

Big deal?  Maybe not, but not insignificant.  The problem with Monday games, unlike Sunday afternoon games, is that you don't get the night of the game to decompress.  Play on Sunday, unwind on Sunday night, rest on Monday, then use Tuesday through Saturday to get ready for Sunday.  Play on Monday night, and all of Tuesday is lost to unwinding.   So you get Wednesday through Saturday to prepare.  

 

So the Dolphins truly get at least two days extra prep time, as well as two extra days to recover from minor injuries.  

 

It's unfortunate, but COVID is creating difficult situations for some teams.  It's just luck.

I'll say it again  IMO the Fish will lose more games in the next 5 weeks than the Bills and it will NOT come down to the Division in the last week

 

The Fish have a harder schedule than the Bills and FitzTragic will strike at least twice more.
