Rooting Interest For Bills this Weekend

Coming into the season, no one would believe the Buffalo Bills would have a 5-5 record after ten weeks of the season.  Alas, after the Bills recent six-week slide, they are on the outside looking in the playoff race and a part of a jumbled AFC.

However, we all know the potential this Bills team has and if they can get on a roll, Buffalo can beat anyone.

If the Bills want to make the playoffs this season, they’ll need a lot of help.

Here is who Bills Mafia should be rooting for this weekend in order of significance along with a Bills (11) over Jets (13) win.

Cardinals OVER Texans (7)
The upstart Texans have surprised the league so far.  They currently sit at 5-4 and posses the 7-seed in the AFC playoffs.  Although a Cardinals win is highly unlikely, a Texans loss would be huge for the Bills.

Raiders (9) OVER Dolphins (4)
The Bills still have a chance of winning the AFC East.  However, the Dolphins will need to lose at least one game (and the Bills win all of theirs) for this to happen.  The Raiders share the same record with the Bills, however, so a Raiders loss would help the Bills Wild Card chances.  

Ravens (2) OVER Bengals (10)
The Ravens helped the Bills by knocking the Bengals down to 5-5.  The Bills could surpass the Bengals with a win Sunday. 

Browns (6) versus Steelers (5) WASH
Both the Steelers and Browns are 6-3.  The team who loses will be only one game ahead of Buffalo in the Wild Card race.

Eagles OVER Chiefs (1)
The Bills have a matchup with the Chiefs in three weeks.  The Chiefs play the Eagles and Raiders over their next two games and though they likely won’t lose to the Raiders…if they DID, and the Bills beat the Jets and Eagles, the Bills would be playing for a possible seeding tie-breaker with the Chiefs on December 10^th.

Titans (15) OVER Jaguars (3)
The Bills likely won’t catch the Jaguars in the standings and if they do, they’d have to leapfrog them as the Jags have the head-to-head advantage, beating the Bills in London.
