With only four games left in the regular season, the Buffalo Bills (10-3) still control their destiny in the AFC. Currently they are the number one seed and can clinch at least a playoff berth with a win on Saturday night, or one of many different scenarios.
The only real threat to Buffalo taking the number one seed are the Kansas City Chiefs and whoever wins the AFC North between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals.
Fortunately for the Bills, not only have they beaten the Chiefs, they still have the Bengals on schedule and the Ravens are in trouble at quarterback with Lamar Jackson still dealing with a knee injury.
Unfortunately for Buffalo, they still have a daunting road to the postseason. While the Ravens likely won't be able to hang onto the North lead, the Bengals are very much a threat.
Based off remaining schedule, the Bills will have the more challenging path in these final weeks.
Buffalo Bills Remaining Schedule
- Miami Dolphins (8-5)
- @ Chicago Bears (3-10)
- @ Cincinnati Bengals (9-4)
- New England Patriots (7-6)
51.9-win percentage
Kansas City Chiefs Remaining Schedule
- @ Houston Texans (1-11-1)
- Seattle Seahawks (7-6)
- Denver Broncos (3-10)
- @ Las Vegas Raiders (5-8)
30.8-win percentage
Cincinnati Bengals Remaining Schedule
- @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7)
- @ New England Patriots (7-6)
- Buffalo Bills (10-3)
- Baltimore Ravens (9-4)
61.5-win percentage
Aside from Chicago, the Buffalo Bills play teams who are above .500 on the season, with both the Bengals winners of five straight and Patriots winners of four of their last six.
Cincinnati is in a similar situation. Playing the Bucc's and Ravens who are experiencing issues across their offenses, but still having to play both Buffalo and New England.
The Chiefs play teams below .500, with the exception being Seattle who've lost three of their last four.
Even though Buffalo still controls their own destiny, every game for them is going to matter.
