Up to the minute playoff scenarios
Broncos, Bengals, Jags, Jets are 8-6
Bills, Steelers, Titans, Chiefs are 7-7
Bills hold tie breaker over all 7-7 teams
How Bills can be eliminated this weekend
Bills loss OR Bills win coupled with a Jets, Cinci win and a Chief loss
How Bills can make playoffs with a win and a Jets win
If the Jets win, the Bills will need Cinci to beat Denver, Jacksonville to lose 1 of 2, KC to win out and Denver to win or lose to San Fran in week 17. Buffalo also would need the Jets to beat Oakland in week 17 and the Steelers to beat the Bengals. This would leave Buffalo, Cinci, Denver, KC at 9-7. Denver would be eliminated by the Chiefs based on divisional record and then Buffalo would get in over Cinci and KC based on strength of victory and conference record.
How Bills can control their own destiny
If the Bills win and Jacksonville, Cinci, Jets all lose, then the Bills would take over the 6 seed in the conference. hey have a better conference record than the Jets, head to head over Jacksonville, and a better strength of victory over the Bengals. Bills would only need to beat the Ravens to get in.
Other scenarios
If the Bills win and Jets lose and Jags lose to Patriots along with Cinci beating the Broncos. Buffalo would be in with a win over Baltimore and a Cinci loss in week 17 to the Steelers. I would say this is the most likely scenario.
If the Bills win and Jets lose, and Jags beat the Patriots, and Cinci loses to Denver, then Buffalo would be in with a win over Baltimore and a Jacksonville loss to Kansas City.
If the Bills lose and Jets lose, and Jags beat the Pats and Cinci beats Denver, then Buffalo would need a Pittsburgh win over the Bengals and a Chief win over the Jags.
I think this is accurate, however if you read this and find some errors, leave a comment and let me know, but their are numerous possibilities for the Bills. Of course, most of this is contingent on the Jets losing to Miami. THERE ARE OVER 17,000 seats left for Sunday's game. If you consider yourself a Bills fan, BUY TICKETS AND BE AT THE STADIUM. This is the biggest football game in Buffalo since 04-05 and the 2nd biggest since the turn of the century. BILLS BABY
