A lot would have to fall just right for the Chiefs to end up as the 1 seed. The odds have to be pretty steep against that happening.

At bare minimum, we want them to split the series. If NE wins tonight, it would be much easier for them to sweep Buffalo since the next game will be in Foxboro. [Reply]

It's pretty evenly matched. Supposedly weather will be a factor.
Bills fans insist Allen can't play well if there is a slight wind.
That tips this into NE's favor since their OL and Defense are better. [Reply]

I dont mind rooting for the bills. But I don't like having to root for the bucs in a week. [Reply]
Football Outsiders has it as 41.1% Patriots, 15.7% Bills, 14.3% Chiefs, 12.1% Titans, Ravens 7.2%, and Chargers 7.2%. It also thinks if the Chiefs win 4/5 they probably do it.
Although their system clearly thinks the Patriots are the best team in the AFC, which I'm less sure about yet. [Reply]
