Hate to say it, but Bills @ Ravens in the Wild Card seems like the most likely scenario right now

I live near baltimore and have gone to every Bills game there.  It's really hard to win in that building.  It's electric, loud and very hostile, and we rarely stop premier Running backs running downhill.  I don't think we beat them twice in one season.   Didn't the Bills beat Denver like 31-7?  It was not close. 

I agree the Bills handled Denver with pretty much ease last year.  I think Denver scored their first possession and that was pretty much it.

Is Henry on injury report? Its super logical that hed be washed. Hes ancient for a RB, especially with the physicality he has, and also his speed being such a weapon. The type that losing half a step would majorly hamper his game.

 

However,  like the old Brady pats,  everytime it looked over, they got up like Michael Meyers.

 

Fully realize this is more a Bills ptsd post, than it is a valid concern... but id feel better knowing Henry hadnt been making injury report appearances this year.

I think D Henry is playing hurt/dinged.  He is not as fast/quick as earlier in the season.  Recovery is harder the older you get.  And Balt can't afford to give him any rest.  Balt won't want to give D Henry any type of injury designation outside of resting him thru practices.

Everybody watched them beat the Chiefs yesterday because the Bills weren't on at the same time, and it was the national game. But a lot of people here boycott Thursday Night Football, so they missed the Broncos' EPIC 10-7 win over the Raiders the week before, when Nix went 16-28, 150, 1TD, 2INTs. Against the Raiders. At home. The fact is that there are no teams without critical weaknesses that deserve being labeled a "beast" this year.

In the AFC, you are 100% correct. In the NFC, the Los Angeles Rams fit the bill. Their defence is excellent and the Qb, WRs, RB’s and oline are extremely good. They have to be the favourite at this point.

Burrow full participant today.  
 

Doubt he plays against the Patriots, because of course he won’t.. but lining up for a return Thanksgiving night against Baltimore. 
 

Might give the team (Chase aside) added juice to get a W with Burrow close in a division where they’re not exactly out of it.. yet.

They may go with Burrow this week since they still have a very very small chance of making the playoffs. So, it's entirely possible

And they even go through lulls 

 

Stafford had 130 passing yards versus the Seahawks

I know things can change a lot between now and the end of the regular season, but at the moment things are shaping up that way, in my opinion.

 

I think it’s safe to say that whoever wins the NFC North will be the 4-seed. My money is on the Ravens, especially now that Rodgers has hurt his wrist. I still think the Steelers will split with them, but the Ravens will probably end up 10–7, and the Steelers will have a hard time matching that. At the same time, it’s hard to imagine a 10–7 (or even 11–6) Ravens team having a better record than any other division winner.

 

So whoever loses the division race in the AFC is most likely going to end up playing at Baltimore.

 

The NYT playoff calculator says the Pats* have an 86% chance and we have 14%. I’d say that’s pretty accurate. Even if we beat them at their place after their bye (which I think we have a solid chance to do), we’d still only be at 29%. We need them to drop one more game than us. So if we win out (which is very hard to do), we need them to lose to the Ravens. If we lose one more, then we need them to lose to the Ravens plus another game. They have the Giants and Dolphins at home, and the Bengals, Ravens, and Jets on the road.

 

If I had to guess, we beat them, lose one more game, they lose to the Ravens, and it all comes down to their last game at the Dolphins. The Fish might pull an upset, but I wouldn’t count on it.

 

There are other possibilities — we could lose the division and end up as the 6-seed or so — but I don’t think we’ll finish worse than 12–5.

 

To sum it up, the most likely scenario right now is Bills @ Ravens.

Evidently you don’t hate to say it…,

Ravens are going to be the 3 seed. The AFC South is going to be the 4 seed. For that not to be truth the Colts need to win in KC. Check the Colts remaining schedule out.

It might be the most likely scenario and also be something like a 15-20% probability.  I could definitely see it happening.  So much ball left to play though and if Bills don't win division, sixth seed is very possible too.

 

Week 18 we have a WC spot clinched - a loss means we go from 5 to 6 or 7.  
 

Do we play to win?  No way.  He rests starters.  

 

Too early to even remotely care about this hypothetical right now.  No at Baltimore is not ideal. 

 

 

My ideal WC path is this:

 

At 2 seed NE in a snow storm round 1

 

At 1 seed Denver in a snow storm round 2

 

At 3 seed Indy in a comfy dome for Allen to torch them - no way Daniel Jones beats us idc how many times they run JT.
