The bills are a good team and will be competing for the HFA. I think the bills lose to the lions and probably san fran but at least one more loss. San fran is beat up. The rams are not some juggernaut but they do look better. AFC East is a joke.

AFC West is tough. We have three playoff teams. I think we lose to Pittsburgh who blows up our oline like the raiders did last year on Christmas Day and the chargers or possibly broncos.

We finish 14-3 and bills are 13-4. HFA. Sounds like a good season to me.

You can’t look at any schedule and say what will happen… Pitt lost to a 2 win team… Buff will lose again and I think we will lose one more game too.. As was said before, come playoff time, this team doesn’t give a shit where they play..

I think Buffalo only loses one more, at most 2, and we lose at least 2 more. IMO, Buffalo gets the #1 seed and we get #2. Not the end of the world, just would suck to lose out on the bye.

I know KC doesnt care where they play, but the fact is if they get a bye, it will be an easier road. I don't really trust this defense this year. And that's what saved us last year when we went on the road for the playoffs.

Exactly. That's true in every sport.

For the Chiefs, the Carolina game should be the closest to a gimme. The divisional games are tough. Cleveland looked good yesterday albeit they were extra motivated to beat Pittsburgh. But they have Myles Garrett, Njoku and Winston is unpredictable. That could be a tough game for KC.

Don't know or I'd be a betting person. From the looks of the remaining games, I would say that the Bills have the easiest path. The 49ers aren't what they were last year, the Rams have injury problems and get a bye. The Chiefs have only two tin cans on the schedule. Nothing easy about Pit/Cle/Hou/LAC/Den and the crazy schedule around Christmas along with the early bye for the Chiefs sure didn't set them up for an easy ride into the playoffs.

Bills will finish 14-3 so the Chiefs can't drop more than one game. Really wouldn't want to seem them play the Chargers/Broncos in the first round. Regardless of past history, both of those teams give the Chiefs fits and have good to great defenses.

[RedinTexas]

I still think San Francisco and LA Rams are dangerous opponents for the Bills. The NFC West is tight as hell and probably will be a 4-team fight the rest of the way. Both of those teams will have motivation to win.

Fans of a 9-1 team being scared of ****ing 3-win teams.

Losing mentality.

It will be. Plus they'll be up for it. If they show up to play, they're gonna cause problems for the contenders.

It’s really just the Chiefs and Bills for the 1 seed.

The Chiefs will likely finish no worse than 13-4, which normally all but guarantees the 1 seed.

With Buffalo having the tie breaker, I think the Chiefs need to go 14-3. I’d bet Buffalo has two losses in them.

Although I agree with this, there is no way they wouldn't prefer to play at Arrowhead.

The only question left is, do they play their starters in week 17 if needed to win HFA? I don't see Andy making that choice.

Nobody is "scared" of Cleveland. Just saying those could be tougher games than expected. They have some good players too. And it's the NFL.

But yes, we'll win 69-0 like every prediction some idiots make.

Agreed... Somehow, voicing an opinion that these easy games are going to be anything except a tough game against NFL opponents that would just love to have the feather in their cap of the team that derailed the 3-peat Chiefs quest for the 1 seed is seen as weak. Bad teams win every week and the margin for error is slim. It's not college where the level of skill players can be huge.

I have red colored glasses on every week however this team does have issues, just like every other team.

[philfree]

Just win the game this week and see where we stand.

We've lost once in 16 games and the bed wetters are already hyping up the Bills and predicting us to lose multiple games!!..it's business as usual .
