The regular season finale between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins may be played with the AFC East crown on the line. If the Bills defeat the Patriots and Miami loses to the Baltimore Ravens, Week 18 is for the division. 

Not only that, but it looks as if the Dolphins will be without one of their top players. Head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is dealing with a high-ankle sprain. Ian Rapaport confirmed that Waddle's status for the rest of the regular season is "in doubt."

If the Alabama product is indeed unavailable against Buffalo, that will make life a lot easier for the Bills' defense, who can focus all of their attention in the back end on Tyreek Hill. 

The Bills, of course, will have to also worry about Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane out of the backfield, but if they can limit Hill and make the likes of Cedrick Wilson and Chase Claypool to beat them, their chances of winning improve dramatically, and it could result in a home playoff game.
