QB Bills Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 After playing around with the playoff simulator, there's a plausible way the Bills miss out that involves only one potential underdog having to win in a group of 8 games over the next two weeks. Week 17 Bills over pats Colts over Raiders Jags over Panthers Texans over Titans Steelers over Seahawks All the teams above are home favourites except for the Steelers who are a 3 pt underdog on the road Week 18 Dolphins over Bills Jags over Titans Steelers over Ravens Bills likely a small underdog next week. Jags on the road but will still be favoured. Steelers likely playing Ravens backups if Ravens win this week in Miami and will be favoured if so. Hopefully they take care of business in Miami so all of this is moot. And before anyone asks, yes I'm fun at parties. 2 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I see almost no chance the Steelers win their last two. The Mason Rudolph story is the same each time. Comes in, cuts it loose and puts up some yards in his first outing, then it all crumbles around him and those yards turn into picks. But you are right it isn't totally home and hosed yet. 3 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Harbaugh got burned resting his starters in the season finale in 2019 after they clinched the one seed (ironically a win against the Steelers). They came out flat in the divisional round. I don't think he makes that mistake again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Pick 8 NFL games any week and let me know when you get all 8. It is possible, agree but the Bills playoff chances are >95% if they win vs NE. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the other games seem very probable to have the outcomes he shows (other than Bills vs Fish…that one is a toss up), but having the Steelers win those last two games seems HIGHLY improbable. 😉 Edited December 28, 2023 by Bob Jones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strive_for_five_guy Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Really need Seahawks to win this week. If Ravens beat Miami, they’re going to have nothing to play for against the Steelers in Week 18. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dma0034 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Except Texans and Colts tie in the last week and boom Bills in the playoffs . Bengals have to factor in too. They have Chiefs and Browns. Chiefs are beatable and Browns will have nothing to play for in week 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers are absolutely awful. Cincinnati’s run was due to end behind Browning, so the result last week was not shocking. Seahawks are at home and fighting for their lives this week as well. I get the BBFS and all, but Buffalo just needs to win out and let the chips fall where they may, going into the playoffs on a heater… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I can see why you say “not so far fetched”. I could see all of those things happening. Just win and we won’t have to sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
