Wonder if there is any shot Miami resting starters by week 18.

McDermott will go into KC and clap his team to victory. 


It wasn’t easy, and I had to keep reminding myself throughout the game, but I was actually rooting for KC today merely because I did not want to see them coming off a loss.

 

And oddly enough, they lose the game and it felt oh so Bills-esque… but coming from the Chiefs!?!?

 

So now I am starting to believe that it isn’t the Bills, these years of misfortune, maybe it’s just me!  After all, the first NFL game I have ever watched was …….. Wide Right
 

Sorry guys, I’d stop if I could.

KC’s defense looks like it is starting to take damage. I won’t get my hopes up. I fully expect a beat down.

per NYT:  80% chance if beat chiefs and other 3 games but lose to cowboys.  50 % if they lose 2 more games.

 

This is wrong. Losing 2 basically eliminates them (3% chance).

 

As of this week if they can go 4-1 they have a ~59% chance of getting in. The Jacksonville/Cincy Monday Night game has almost no effect.

You didn’t fill in the loss against the cowboys. When you do the chance goes down to 56%.

 

If we lose twice our chance is less then 8%.

As far as betting odds go, bills chances didn't budge even after a favorable day. 

 

DK had them at +500 to make it before today and they are +500 now. 

good to know.  I'll go to the site soon to make a

bet.

why the "X".  i didn't stipulate which 2 games they lose for 50%.  so sue me.  Lawyers who wants a gig?

 

AND?

By not “stipulating” two games as losses you’re just leaving them undecided.

 

So your percentages are wrong.

 

It’s not 50% if they lose two games, it is much, much lower: 3% to 7% depending on which two they lose.

Do you really see McDaniel conceding the AFC East by resting starters? That would surprise me, but they aren't winning that game even with Marino in his prime, the 'Killer Bs' and Larry ***** Csonka, so who knows.

A lot of things could be in play in that last game.  For example, maybe Miami avoids playing us in the wildcard game—and instead gets Pittsburgh or the Colts—if they lose to us…in which case, maybe they sit some guys.
