The Red King Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 For those wondering, I do recall talk some awhile back about some kind of rule where if divisional rivals meet in the playoffs, the division winner would have to go to the Wild Card if that Wild Card did better against the division winner, or something like that. But nothing ever came from those talks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 The chiefs are essentially locked into the 3 seed. They obv wont catch Baltimore for the 1 seed. They almost certainly can't catch miami or buffalo for the 2 seed. And they hold the tiebreaker over Jacksonville so they won't be the 4 seed. And chiefs only need one more win to clinch their division. If bills somehow win division their path looks something like: Steelers at home Chiefs at home Baltimore on road or maybe Miami at home Wow! How awesome would a home championship game be. 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like 1980 when San Diego and we finished 11-5 and we beat them in the regular season, but we had to go to San Diego for the WC. KC has always played in a weak division. Miami had better lose to Baltimore next week. If Joe Ferguson wasn't playing on a broken ankle we would have won that dam game . 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure: is there a rule saying a division champ gets home field over a wild card, in case we finish as a wild card but KC wins their division and we have the same record? They’re coming to Buffalo, right? Home field is decided by highest seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Hypotheitcal question about the miami game... let's say miami beats Baltimore and has the divison locked up heading into the last week. And also the bills locked up a playoff spot after beating new England. A buffalo win In week 18 would almost certainly mean the 6th seed and a matchup @ kansas city. Or a loss to Miami and bills finish as the 7th seed at Baltimore. Which would you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWei44 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Not sure if it's been stated above or not, but if we win out and win division, we are definitely the #2 seed. And if we're in as a wild card, we're almost definitely #6 or #7. So #3 and #4 (and #1) aren't possible. It's basically 2, 6, or 7 if we're in the playoffs (with very slim chance of #5). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
