BIlls will clinch #2 with win and: Steelers loss and Browns win (as long as the Browns and Steelers don't tie in the last game) or Steelers loss and Titans loss It would be ideal if we could go into week 17 having the number two seed locked up.

If you think the Chiefs are dropping two in a row at Arrowhead to the Falcons and Chargers, knock yourself out.

Very unlikely Pit wins 2 more, too, frankly. That’s wild. But you’re probably right about the two teams outcomes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only think one of those things has a decent chance of happening. Nope. We can't get the number 1 seed with the Chiefs beating the Saints. They have strength of victory tie breaker. Best we can do is 2. And I believe with today's loss, the Chiefs have sewn up the number 1 seed. They hold tie breakers in both two and 3-way ties at 13-3.

Yes because Cleveland and Pittsburgh play each other. One wins and then no matter who wins it becomes a 3 way tie breaker which the Bills win due to Conference Record Edit: except for Pittsburgh.... all those AFC teams are 4-0 against the opposite division (if the Titans beat the Packers next week).

Chandler#81 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 It’s Bills hangover. Just ask the Rams, Raiders, Seattle, NE*, SF. If you beat Buffalo, you’re in 1st Place in your Division and playoff bound. Lose and you crumble to the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget, both PIT & CLE hold tiebreaker over TEN (by virtue of them both beating the Titans). Assuming the Browns take care of business against the Jets, that means PIT OR CLE will finish 12-4 (since CLE and PIT play Week 17 and they don't tie) and will finish ahead of TEN. Even if TEN finishes 12-4, I don't think they can jump over whoever the AFC North Champ is. What happens if BUF, PIT/CLE & TEN all finish 12-4? Bills just gotta take care of business. GB/TEN & IND/PIT are gonna be epic games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 The most ideal scenario, to me is the Dolphins winning out and taking the 7 seed and playing us. in the first week of playoffs. Would rather see them than any of the other teams, but I'll just wait and see how it plays out. The AFC is tougher than I thought it was going to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any situation that we are tied at 12-4 with 2 or more teams we are the #2 seed. So if the Steelers and Browns are both 11-4 and going into week 17 we are in good shape there, because one of those teams will have to finish 12-4 with exception of a tie. The possible tie in week 17 between them is the only reason we can’t clinch next week with a Bills win and Pitt loss.

I believe that is correct. And depending on what Miami does in Vegas, we could end up playing either Ravens, Dolphins or Browns. Actually there is also a scenario we could play the Titans if they lose out and finish with the 7th seed. Lots can still happen in the 2nd to 7th seeding.

I dont know if Pitt wins again this season. So playing some more with it, keep the winning %. Only change Pitt losing out. Then it comes down to this in a weird way. Week 17: Bills/Dolphins: Bills has already clinched #2. Miami if they win they are in the playoffs against Buffalo Lose and the Bills play Baltimore. So if this all comes fruition, the Bills basically get to choose who they play first of the playoffs. Because the Bills could "rest" anyone and basically game it to where Miami wins. Unless of the course the Dolphins get a Billsy (lol) loss to the Bills 3rd stringers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
