Not trying to get ahead of myself but barring a complete collapse the Bills will be in a playoff game in a few weeks. If I am picking the easiest match up today I would go with

1A/B Mia / LAV.

2 Indy 

3 Cle

4 Bal

5 Pit

6 Ten

7 KC 

 

Lets look at the most likely scenarios:

 

#3 Seed is most likely scenario

#3 team plays #6 team so the Bills are likely playing:

Most likely is Indy or Tenn - whoever loses division

Other possibilities Mia, Cle, Bal

#2 Seed if Cle beats out Pit

#2 team plays #7 team so the Bills are likely playing:

Most likely is Mia or LAV whoever makes it between the two

Others could be any of Ind, Tenn, Bal

#4 Seed or #7 Seed if we stink and lose at least 2 of the last 3 games

#4 would likely mean playing either Pit or Cle, Bal has slight chance (loser of division)

#7 would most likely playing either Pit or Cle (winner of division), KC is small chance

Miami is the obvious answer. There is a giant gap between them and all of the other potential playoff teams (assuming LV doesn't make it). They are a dream matchup. 

 

With the division basically locked up we need to root for Miami the rest of the way. We want them in the playoffs in hopes of latching up with them .

 

A browns win tonight would help.

I voted for Miami, honestly they are the least scariest team to me. 
I’d like to beat Tenn because I am still not over the way the schedule had to be changed for the Covidians lack of adherence to protocols.

I also didnt like how aggressive they were on offense at the end of that game. They ran up the score and Tannehill showboated and I hate powder blue and I still hate them for the homerun throw forward....

I think KC-Pit-Buf-Ten win their divisions. Of the wild card team I would not want to play the Browns. They can run the ball effectively and I wonder if the Bills can stop them. I'd like any other team. Dolphins because of the old rivalry. I think the Colts would be an interesting matchup. Don't think the Ravens will match up well (neither will the Raiders)

At this moment, the #1 seed is still possible.

 

Here's the scenario:

* Bills win out

* KC loses two, to the Chargers and also either to the Saints or Falcons.

* Steelers lose exactly one game (CIN, IND, CLE) forcing a three way tie.

 

 

In this scenario, Buffalo is predicted to win a three-way tie breaker based on strength of victory.

Of the teams the Bills would be best to face, I think this is the easiest order: Dolphins, Colts, Steelers, Titans, Browns, KC.  Reasoning is that Bills have fared better against tough defenses than tough offenses.

I’d rather play:

Vegas - meh

miami - meh

steelers-  offense has no speed.  

titans- can’t see them beating us twice

ravens- they’d be my first choice if not for their D

browns- scared of the run game + Garrett

colts- might be the most complete team.  

KC-  so explosive, but we can beat them

So the Bills may struggle to stop the Browns running attack - likely.

 

How will the browns stop the Bills and Allen?

 

I will take a shootout with Josh vs Baker.  The downside is having to see Baker's stupid commercials.

I voted Tennessee. Nothing scientific, purely emotional fan stuff from me on this... it’s who I want to play. 
 

They started the drought, the screwed with us this year, they made a run to the AFC Championship last year. I want them. 
 

This team has been beating all of the media narratives. 
 

1) Josh sucks

2) Can’t win against good teams 

3) Can’t win in Prime Time

4) Can’t beat the Patriots 

 

Give me revenge.
