From a playoff perspective here's where we stand with 2 weeks to go.

Were currently the 6th seed as we  have the same record as the Chargers but they hold some random tiebreaker. The Texans have the 7th seed.

Houston is at the Chargers on Saturday. So obviously one of them is going to fall back a game. If your Buffalo you get the break of seeing who wins on Sat and then depending on who you prefer to face in the 1st round you can see how much the Eagles game means.

Let's assume the Chargers win, under that scenario Buffalo can do no worse then the 6th seed unless they somehow lose out. The bad news in that scenario is that if we lose to Philly we have no shot at the 5 seed as the Chargers would then be a game up and have the tiebreaker so Week 18 would come down to the 6th or 7th seed.

In a scenario where the Texans win the Philly game takes on massive importance. A win would give us the 5 seed and all we would need to do is beat the Jets to lock that in vs Pitt. If the Texans win and we lose were in the 7th seed by virtue of the tiebreakers with both teams.

Going into Week 18 the Chargers at Denver with Denver needing a win for the 1 overall seed. I'd like to think they are going to win that game so again that would bump Buffalo back up to the 6th seed (assuming Hou beats the Colts).

I think it's highly probable were looking at the 6th seed and at Jaxville for the WC round of the playoffs unless we win out which if that occurs were highly likely to get the 5th seed as we only need the Chargers to lose one of the next two which seems highly likely.
