Then I guess we'll find out which Talking Head has guessed the right scenario and everyone can stop with the insane graphics.

Owners will convene on Friday regarding AFC playoff seeding


Per multiple sources, the NFL’s owners will convene on Friday regarding the issue. The meeting will happen via videoconference, not in person.

With the Bills and Bengals not playing, the seeding would be determined based on winning percentage. But that would create a perceived unfair advantage for the Chiefs, who would capture the No. 1 seed simply by beating the Raiders on Saturday — even though the Chiefs have lost to the Bills and the Bengals. The situation also creates a competitive disadvantage for the Bengals, who could have landed at No. 2 or even at No. 1 if they had won the game against the Bills.

As one source explained it to PFT, the owners will have to resolve some “controversial” aspects of finalizing the plan. The specific options for the owners currently aren’t known.

It also isn’t known whether the situation would be resolved by a simple majority or a 24-vote supermajority.

Regardless, the league has yet to make a decision. On Friday, the owners hopefully will do so.

Frankly, I would not be at all surprised if this team went on a tear and won the whole damn thing.

I still think if the bills win, they should get the one seed. I only say this because of the tie breaker

They were at the bills mercy last week. Even if we lost, they would need to win this week. i dont see why its much different now

Current proposal is Bills Chief would be at a neutral site if we finish with the same amount of losses. I'm fine with that.

I predicted earlier it was going to be played in Miami. Nice weather and stadium not being used.

Heard this on SiriusXM NFL Channel this morning regarding the neutral site (offered by a Cincy Fan calling in):

1. If it's KC vs Buffalo, neutral site would be Cincy
2. If it's KC vs Cincy, neutral site would be Buffalo.
3. If Cincy and Buffalo both with Week 18, Cincy vs Buffalo would be in Buffalo

If it's a neutral site game it will probably be in Indy or Detroit. Dome stadium, and driving distance for fans from all three teams.

Detroit would feel like a second home. Plus I live in Michigan!

I'm over who we play and where we play it. LFG.

Re: Owners meeting tomorrow to determine playoff seeding

Kinda don’t want 1 seed. A bye IMHO would be a detriment after what’s transpired. The country has pretty much joined the mafia. Give them the extra game to cheer over.

By beating the Patriots we secure no worse than the 2 seed.

I'm good with that.
How about you young man?
