Who Bills Fans Should Root For This Weekend

By beating the Jets last weekend, the Bills improved their odds of making the playoffs to nearly 50% and revitalized Bills fans hope that their team can make a run to make the playoffs.

However, for the Bills to reach the postseason, they’ll need some help along with winning at least four of their last six games.  Buffalo has a difficult remaining schedule including the Eagles this Sunday, Kansas City, Dallas and Miami.

This weekend, along with beating the Eagles, here are rooting interests for Bills Mafia along with AFC seedings in order of significance:

Jets (14) OVER Dolphins (4)
If the Bills could somehow run the tables and win their remaining games and the Dolphins lose at least one of their remaining games, the AFC East would be up for grabs when Miami hosts the Bills in week 18 with the Bills having the head-to-head tiebreaker with Miami.

Jaguars (3) OVER Texans (6)
Odds are, the Bills won’t catch the Dolphins for the AFC East.  In that case, they’ll need to obtain one of the three Wild Card spots.  The upstart Texans currently own the 2^nd Wild Card position and Bills fans need them to lose Sunday.

Bengals (11) OVER Steelers (7)
Speaking of Wild Card spots, the Steelers currently own the 3^rd.  The Bengals will finish their season without Joe Burrow, but a win Sunday versus Pittsburgh would be welcome to Bills fans.

Broncos (10) OVER Browns (5)
The Browns currently own the first Wild Card spot and likely will not take the AFC North from the Ravens, especially now that Deshawn Watson was deemed out for the season.  A Browns loss on Sunday would be big for the Bills even though the Broncos, who’ve now won four games in a row are chasing the Bills and have a head-to-head tiebreaker with them.

Buccaneers OVER Colts (9)
The Bills should not only be looking at the AFC teams ahead of them, but also the teams behind them, and the Colts are right on the Bills heels.

Raiders (12) OVER Chiefs (2)
The Chiefs have not been playing their best football offensively. They’ve barely been sneaking by mediocre teams. The Bills and Chiefs play at Kansas City on December 10^th and a Chiefs loss before then could result in the Bills taking seeding from the Chiefs should Buffalo win the AFC East.

Chargers (13) OVER Ravens (1)
Although it’s unlikely, the Ravens could relinquish their AFC North lead. This would put them in a Wild Card seed which Buffalo likely would be battling for.
