Predict your final 7 for the playoffs.

[ColoradoBills]

Way too much football left for me to say.

[SCBills]

Houston looks to be without Stroud on Sunday against the Titans.

I was thinking this when I read the OP.  I don't see Detroit losing to Denver at home after getting embarrassed by Chicago last week.  Doesn't really change things a lot, other than I don't see Denver going 4-0 down the stretch.

I do like Denver quite a bit this week against Detroit. But reality is it is far more likely both Denver and Cincinnati go 3-1 rather than 4-0

 

i’m thinking it’s an adjustment I should make in my prediction. I believe it ends up being good for the Dolphins bad for the Bengals, and not having much of an impact for the Broncos.

This looks about right to me. But a win against the Cowboys is a must.

The Bills, and six other nobodies,

Buffalo, Denver, Cleveland, Jax, KC, Miami, Baltimore

Not sure about seeding but gut feeling right now tells me:

 

Division Winners:

Chiefs

Dolphins

Ravens

Jaguars

 

Wild Cards

Bills

Broncos

Bengals/Browns - this to me is a coin flip and the matchup at the final week of season is essentially a 'play in' game IMO.

 

Also think that somehow, someway the Bills and Chiefs are going to play again in the playoffs with unfortunately the same result as 2020/2021 since KC will get homefield once again and have a chip on their shoulder after what happened last week.

The Raiders are gonna do us a solid... they have their swag back and the light went on for the rookie QB.  I think they will beat Indy and Denver..and will not lay down like dogs for Kansas City.  That will a fun game for the Silver and Black on Christmas Day.

I hear you...but the emotional playoff losses to KC have left a Larger chip on the Bills' shoulders.  So that will more than counteract the Kansas City regular season loss revenge angle.  Outside the 1st Qtr, I don't think the Bills played all that well last Sunday.  We all know they can play much better than that.

I don't think they beat Indy. Raiders aren't good on the road. 

 

I just did the playoff machine and here is my final standings

Yeah true. We can beat them for sure.  Just weird that they have had our number both times in London.

I want no part of jags or bengals like you said. Anyone but them.

Can you imagine if the Dolphins missed the playoffs after being in 2nd place with 4 weeks to go?.  That would be amazing

Its kinda crazy they can go 0-3 in the next 3 weeks and are still playing for the division week 18 

[mjt328]

Using the ESPN playoff machine:

1. Ravens
2. Chiefs
3. Jaguars
4. Bills
5. Texans
6. Browns
7. Dolphins

Biggest teams to root against down the stretch are the Dolphins and Broncos...

I can take that. In your scenario, there would be two WC rematches: Broncos at Bills and Bengals at Jaguars.

Expand  

Please let this happen.

 

We'll beat the Broncos by 50 in a rematch.

Wow. If we get in and can’t beat the Bengals with a backup QB we’ve got bigger issues. IMO, just get in and the Bills can play with anyone.

Because of their poor conference record, it would be hard for the Bills to get a WC. It feels like division or bust this year for their playoff hopes.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

In my mind it’s always been Kansas City and Dallas as a package deal.

 

The loser of Steelers v Colts drops out this week, and Stroud is a long shot to make it back in time for Tennessee, but because the Bills don’t have the tie breakers on the Broncos or Bengals, they need the game.

 

Broncos only hard one left is this weekend against Detroit. Otherwise they look like they’ll go 3-1.

 

Bengals have at Chiefs, but again, other than that one game, they face Vikings, Steelers and Browns at home, and the Browns have out 8 starters this week from their opening day roster.

Both coaches dominate McD. We want to avoid that. Both teams shut down our offense with relative ease.
