Do you think Denver's type of play is sustainable. Better yet, do you trust Reid/Mahomes or Payton/Nix?

The Chiefs running game and Oline going to hold them back. But you know they're behind the Chargers too, right?

You've see the AFC West standings right?

It probably won’t happen but it’s not as improbable as you think. They still have 2 games against Den and 1 game against LAC. I can see a path for KC winning that division.

The Bills could end up with a better record. Yet it won't matter if they get the WC and KC wins the division. KC would host a potential playoff game. 

Way it’s trending Bills and Chiefs are fighting for WC spots while the Ravens will win their Division.

At this point it's Super Bowl or bust. Barely making the playoffs as a Wild Card and losing in the first or second round isn't a whole lot better than not making the playoffs at all. With this roster, this set of bottom third in the NFL wide receivers, there is no logical hope to make the Super Bowl, although the AFC certainly looks pretty awful this year.

Honestly, being a Wild Card team this year might not be the worst thing in the world this year. I know I know the 1 seed but its looking very likely that Baltimore is going to win the North and will probably end up being the # 4 seed. If the Bills end up as the 6 or 7th seed (which is actually likely if they dont catch the Patriots). They will end up playing New England/Denver/Indy in Round 1 and would then get another one of them most likely in the 2nd round. Yes we would have to be on the road but I'd take my chances against those teams verse having to deal with Baltimore/KC in Round 1/2

AFC top teams all play each other a bunch still so a lot can happen.

 

If next week KC beats Denver then they get a good outcome either way in the Chargers/Jaguars game 

 

If Jags win KC and LA are tied and still play later in the season. 

 

If Chargers win KC would be ahead of Jaguars for wild card race.  

 

Lots of separation will happen over the next few weeks.

 

I expect only 1 AFC North team to make it in (Ravens)

 

2 AFC West wildcards and 1 AFC East
