That pretty much nails it.

Head to head first then conference

So let's say the Bills beat the Pats and take the 3 seed and we take the 2 seed.

We'd end up:

1. Ravens
2. Chiefs
3. Bills
4. Texans
5. Patriots
6. Steelers

This sets up a completely different scenario. We'd probably end up facing the Bills here, while the winner of Texans-Pats goes to Baltimore to get ravaged.

I almost WANT to end up the wild card, because we will destroy the Steelers, and we know we can beat the Pats (3 goes to 2).

http://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/machine

Put that scenario in & see what it says.

Division tiebreaker is done first, so Chiefs would win out as Pats will always have tiebreaker over Bills due to common opponent record and Chiefs win tiebreaker over Pats due to beating them.


Bills need to have a better record than the Pats to be anything other than the 5 seed.

Only way that happens is if the Dolphins beat the Patriots in Fixborough.

Miami just got embarrassed by Eli, they're not winning in Forborough.

That’s for two teams.

KC and Buffalo never played each other, and NE/BUF would split in a scenario where each team finishes 12-4. Buffalo would have 3 conference losses. KC and NE would both have 4.

I think Buffalo ends up the #2 seed if they all tie at 12-4.

Bills basically have the 5th seed locked down unless they pull an upset for us next weekend.

So if we get the 3 seed, it will be time to get some playoff revenge on the Steelers or Titans

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Also, the Titans will hold the tiebreaker over Pittsburgh if they beat the Texans in Week 17 (and the Steelers lose either of their last two).

No, division tiebreakers are done first. Pats have the tiebreaker over the Bills. Chiefs have the tiebreaker over the Pats. Chiefs get the #2 seed.

No, Basileus has it right.

It doesn’t matter how the seedlings fall.

These red and gold savages are going to rape and pillage every team that tries to get between them and their trophy.

These guys are earning Super Bowl rings this season.

Well I’ll be damned.

KC gets the bye if all 3 teams finish 12-4. Buffalo would not surpass NE for the 3 seed unless the Pats go 0-2.

GO BILLS!!!!!!!

Yes, biggest game of the Chiefs season is this Saturday--Bills v. Pats.

Not that I'm particularly worried about the Steelers but I'd still rather play one less game and have the Pats at home than on the road. That's worth a few points there.

For sure...

It's very unlikely we see the Pats, I think, if they lose to the Bills.

They'd lose on the road in the WC or the div.

Let’s be real here.

We faced a red hot Baltimore team early in the year and curb stomped them. We were up 30-6 in the 4th. We are playing a lot better now. We didn’t have Tyreek. No Pennel. No Fisher. Clark couldn’t feel his hands. The defense hadn’t jelled.

**** Baltimore.

We already de-pantsed NE.

Pittsburgh has no chance.

Buffalo can’t keep up.

The Texans? I’d love to face them.

Titans? Pennel will be in the rotation this time.

The only teams that have a chance against us are in the NFC. Maybe the 49ers, Saints or Seahawks would have a shot, but I honestly feel we would beat any of them.

Nobody can match up against this Chiefs team when healthy.

We will see a Duck out of water in Fixborough.

If the Patriots win one of their next two games, regardless of which one, they win the division. They could easily be our first game even if we get the bye week as they would probably be the fortunate team to play the Steelers.

Pats lose to the Bills and they still likely end up hosting Pittsburgh in the WC. Which I'd favor them to win. They'd be the 3 seed so they'd automatically come to KC next.

If the Bills win out, they win the East.

No, this isn't true. They'd be a wild-card team.

Buffalo wins the division if they win out.

Not according to the playoffs machine.

Nope.

NE has to go 0-2 for Buffalo to win the East.

Yeah I just ran it. I guess we'd probably draw NE then.

Bring it on!

****in’ rights.

Arrowhead will soon eulogize the careers of Rivers and Brady over a two week span....

So are we or are we not sniffing the SB you bunch o bitches.

Looking ahead.

2 Regular Season Games:

Bears on the Road
Chargers at Home

Assuming we get the 3 Seed

Steelers at Home
Pats on the Road
Ravens on the Road

SuperBowl on the Road.

2 Home Games and 4 Road Games

Can the Chiefs keep their current Win streak going and run the table?

I think we're setup well, either we get the #2 and the Patriots, Bills or Texans come to us, or we get the #3, host the Steelers, then go to New England and still play the Patriots. Either way it's about the best we could've hoped for after dropping those games and the injuries we've had.

In theory, we can still be the #4, #3, #2 or #1 seed.

We win the last two and the Bills beat NE then we go to #2.

We can't drop below #4.

I think a Chiefs and Ravens AFCCG is ideal.

Packers are NFC

Chiefs will get the calls this year.

No one wants to see the Pats farting around with their brokedick offense.

I have no doubt that the Chiefs would win that game. But I will find it much more satisfying to see the Shitbirds and their running back behind center get bounced in their first game, whether that be by KC, or whoever.

:rockon::rockon::rockon:

Nope. Dude this has been posted here since like 3 weeks ago it hasn't changed.

Pats lose we win out we get the 2 seed. Check the playoff calculators.

Sorry but Everytime I check into this thread people are asking the same question that's been answered over and over line after line. For ****s sake.

we are 100%, If Bills win, they and the Pats are at 50%


Three or More Clubs

Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).

If two of the 3 teams are in the division the tie break them first with divisional tie break rules then bring the third team back into the mix.

Lots of Chiefs love here, except Whitlock, and this is pre-Suggs. Momentum matters going into playoffs

Pretty comprehensive breakdown from the Athletic.

The games certainly have been exciting to watch when these two teams play.

Come on Buffalo. Do us a favor.

I would love to see Balt KC in Balt for the AFC Champ. That's the game we deserve.

AFC playoff picture is pretty simple.

Chiefs win out is priority one. After that the next most important game is Bills @ Patriots which effects the Chiefs seeding. The next game that would effect the Chiefs the most is Titans @ Texans which decides who the 6th will be. Choices are Texans, Titans & Steelers. Steelers @ Ravens could decide the seedings too but probably not.

Preference 1:
Chiefs 2nd seed with bye week with home game in the divisional round.

Preference 2:
Chiefs 3rd seed vs Steelers at Arrowhead in the WC round with a trip to Fixborough the next week.

I’d prefer not to face either the Titans or Texans in the WC round with a trip to Fixborough the next week.

Shitlock must have missed the memo that we signed Spencer Ware. Ware just closed out the Donks on some nice runs- he is our closer now. Ware is Wade Davis.

That week 17 game between ravens and steelers could have huge implications for who we we play. If the steelers win b/c the ravens are resting their starters, then they probably our opponent in the 1st round if NE hangs on to the 2 seed (assuming steelers beat jets this week). If the ravens beat the steelers though and the titans can beat houston week 17, then the titans would be a 1st round opponent.

I'm torn as to who i would rather us face if we have to play in the 1st round between the titans and steelers. the funny thing is titans may have the better QB in tannehill but steelers D is scary - i'd hate to see mahomes take some cheap shots from those assholes.

Pitt followed by going to NE followed by going to balt. followed by super bowl is a ridiculously difficult path to win a SB. We need that bills win over NE BAD!

Well, when your QB runs for over 1,100 yards... that's going to inflate the number. It's weird to show that stat as if its the same with Brees, pure stand back and pass it type of QB. It's not like the OL is letting Jackson get eaten alive.

Yeah. But he's still getting hit a ton. And it will drastically shorten his career. Not that I would mind that. But it seems so stupid for the Ravens to just ignore history and run him like a running back.

The Ravens have to know they can't turn him into a pocket passer. He'd fail miserably. He doesn't have the accuracy.

They have no choice but let him run around like the 04 Madden version of Michael Vick until he breaks.

And eventually he will break.

I think the point was if Jackson keeps playing like this, he’s going to take a beating that most QB’s don’t.

This is why Brees & Brady can play into their 40’s.

Whats wrong with him?

He’s got a knee issue that popped up against KC I think.

Along with upper body stuff that was already there.

hungover

Dang.

If Buffalo can just score 17, I think they have a pretty good chance to win.

They have a game in TWO DAYS

Roids are wearing off.

Too bad the Bills ****ing suck and have feasted off shit teams. NE takes care of the ball at least

If the ****ing Bills go into Foxboro and knock the Patriots down to wild card weekend, then I’ll seriously start entertaining the idea that the football gods are aligning the stars for us.

If this shit happens then it just might be our year.

That Titans game still pisses me off....

yeap

Titans game reminded us of........”because, Chiefs”

Until Mahomes leads a championship parade through the streets of KC, our past failures and the resulting mental anguish can’t be put behind us.

If Suggs gets a few sacks in the playoffs, that loss was 100% worth it.

That Titan game might be the blessing that brought Suggs to our team

Beat me to it

As much as I want to see the Bills beat the Patriots, I just don't see it happening. It's in Fixboro, where nobody wins, especially in December, and no quarterback under 25 can win. Kansas City managed to all 3, but Buffalo isn't close to what the Chiefs are. If it was at Buffalo, I would be more optimistic.

We got Suggs as a consolation. o:-)

I keep telling myself that.

Welp.

Bills/Texans will be 3pm Saturday game. Chiefs/Steelers would be noon Sunday I would imagine.

We can beat any team in the first round

There’s always a chance Miami does the impossible
