Watching the Bengals/Ravens game made me think about the playoffs and seeding and I was thinking about how soon could KC realistically wrap up the #1 seed and HFA. Looking at the schedule what week are you thinking they realistically do it? [Reply]

I noticed that the NYT playoff simulator is live for this year, and we're at an 83% chance of getting the bye right now. The Bills game is, by far, the most consequential we have left, and beating them puts us at 95%.
It's pretty much just 1) beat the Bills and 2) don't lose more than 3 total games. So yeah, if we win the next 2, it's all but locked up. [Reply]

The Buffalo game is the critical one. If KC wins this week they are staring at 9-0 with 8 games to go heading into the Buffalo one. They win that and they would essentially have to go 3-4 while other teams would have to run the table. I don’t see the LAC, Balt, Buffalo, Houston, or Pittsburgh doing that, nor do I see KC going 3-4. [Reply]
