Best predictions for what record is good enough to secure the 1 seed? With a head-to-head win over Baltimore, and Houston still having to come to Arrowhead Dec 21st, I think 13-4. With head-to-head wins over Bal and Hou possibly even 12-5 gets it done. Buffalo and Steelers have their flaws they are going to pile up some losses throughout the year. [Reply]

Though Buffalo got curb stomped tonight, I still think they’re the bigger threat of the two.
Valid points. Look at Jacksonville. Buffalo utterly destroyed them, game was effectively over before halftime. Houston squeaked out an ugly win at home thanks to a major choke by Jaguars in 4th quarter. [Reply]

Houston has three close wins against three teams we expect to be bad. They haven’t earned the right for margin of victory to be completely ignored like the Chiefs either. They also got destroyed by Minnesota
I confidently believe Houston has several losses left on their schedule if they win this one. Buffalo has some losses left in them, but I’d assume fewer than Houston. [Reply]
