Matchups involving other AFC teams
Kansas City Chiefs (10-3) at Houston Texans (1-11-1) — 1 p.m. on CBS
The situation: The Chiefs are still the No. 2 seed in the AFC behind the Bills and are 14.5-point favorites on the road in Houston. Even with a Kansas City win, the Chiefs can not move ahead of the Bills this week for the No. 1 seed.
Who to root for: Root for the Texans. While unlikely, a Texans win would boost Buffalo’s chances of earning the No. 1 seed to 76%.
Cincinnati Bengals (9-4) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7) — 4:25 on CBS
The situation: The Bengals have won five in a row and can move into first place in the AFC North with a win over the Bucs. Tampa Bay is still fighting for the NFC South title.
Who to root for: Root for the Bucs.
This is where it gets tricky for Bills fans. The Bengals are a legitimate threat to get the No. 1 seed and play the Bills in Week 17. But the Bengals being a Wild Card team increases the chances of the Bills playing Cincy in the Divisional Round. The ‘Best Case Scenario’ for the rest of the season is the Bengals do just enough to win the AFC North to be the No. 3 seed and the Bills beat them in Week 17 to keep the 1-seed.
Best Case Scenario for Week 15
A Chiefs LOSS + Bengals LOSS = Buffalo’s odds to get No. 1 seed increase from 59% to 83%
Worst Case Scenario for Week 15
A Chiefs WIN + Bengals WIN = Buffalo’s odds to get No. 1 seed drop from 59% to 53%
