Only a fool's hope - how the Bills could get #1 seed

1) The obvious .. KC loses all of their games, the ills win all of theirs, and the Steelers drop at least one more. Bills and Steelers tied at 13-3 and Bills win based on head to head.

2) The Bills win out, the Steelers lose only one more game (does not matter which) and KC loses to (New Orleans or Atlanta) and loses to San Diego

This would be a three way tie which gets rid of the head to head since we beat Pittsburgh and KC beat us. We would each be 10-2 in conference and 3-1 out of conference. The next is vs common opponents greater than 4 games .. I am not certain if this applies as Pittsburgh will not have 4 common opponents, but if it is between two clubs to see if one is eliminated we will be 9-0 vs common opponents with KC being 7-2). If this is applied as such KC would be eliminated and we then win based on head to head vs remaining team Pittsburgh. If this step is not applied as such it goes to the next line item (strength of Victory). That will change between now and the end of the year, but at present ours is .454 vs .442 for KC and .420 for Pittsburgh.

 

Not likely, but not impossible.

How sweet is it to discuss top seeding scenarios as opposed to, "in the hunt" for the last WC spot, gasping in on playoff odds calculator fumes so to speak? Answer: sweeter than whatever this goodness is...

Never happening. KC has lost once in their last 22 games and now all of a sudden they are going to lose 3 times in a row?

 

Only way is if Mahomes gets injured and misses games.

 

C'mon man.

I think the #1 seed is a bridge too far for this team, this year.  

 

But that is OK.  

 

Seedings aren't as important as matchups.  We could lock into a better matchup, ironically, by getting a lower seed.  Depends on what's happening all around us.

 

It's too early to know how this is all going to play out.

If the Bills win out, the chiefs lose to the saints and Chargers, and the Steelers lose to the Browns I believe we get the 3 way tie for 1st.

Actually the Steelers need to lose exactly one game .. it doesn't matter against whom ,.. though it would be better if it were the Colts or the Browns as it reduces their strength of Victory. Chiefs have to lose to the Saints or Atlanta .. and definitely the Chargers (do us a solid Anthony Lynn)
