Steelers is going to be a tough game

Cinci will be tough 

Cleveland tough only because defense but Houston showed us that only having a good defense will beat the Bills. 
Eagles again good defense and capable offense. 
jets are the jets so this is the only game I see as a for sure win, but I thought that about Miami too so there's that. I'm not confident in the playoffs this year at all. 
 

All those defenses give up big yardage, which sets up much better situations for Allen than Houstons #1 D did. So realistically they at least get 3 of those games

I said no as I really only see one guaranteed win, the Jet game, they will probably beat Cincy because it's home and the Eagles is a toss up as it's at home also. I can see 10-7 but dont think thats good enough to get in. Maybe they get luck to get 11 wins and I do think that would get them in, 10 won't IMO.

 

So I ran the numbers on 10-7 and the Bills most likely get in as long as their 3 wins are AFC given the tiebreakers they have as they gets them to 10-7. Even if they lose to PIT and go 10-7 they have the edge on BAL/JAX if those two are wildcards. Where things could get squirrely is if the Texans get to 10 wins & the Steelers get to 10 wins and that is our competition for the final spot. Houston does not have an easy schedule left with IND 2x, KC, LAC out of their remaining 6. 

 

A Bills win over PIT would really help to put some distance in the wildcard race and add another tiebreaker, but as long as they are 10-7 with all three wins AFC they still have a solid look at the playoffs.

Lol, does it matter though, they're most likely one and done

Welp a bad loss which highlights a lack of talent at WR hopefully gets that fixed for good.

 

I guess the only thing I would say is with Josh I always want a shot because if he is hot for four games anything is possible.

50-50 for me. Not more than that the way they played since day 1.

 

50 IN because of Josh Allen.

50 OUT because of this defensive sheme and the way Beane seems to badly wants to keep his picks. He saw the sames games...and he still didnt pay or overpay for a WR1 at the trade deadline. 

At this point, i dont know what to say. He is a genius i guess.

 

So, 50-50 and this game at Pittsburgh will tell us a lot about those chances.
