Week 14 in the NFL provided another shake-up with a couple of wild finishes on Monday night and monster games in the late window and Sunday Night.
The AFC playoff races got more clouded than ever with losses from Miami, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, and Houston. Baltimore ended the week with the inside track to the number one seed after a wild win at home versus the Rams, but they will have to go on the road to the 49ers and Dolphins to try to stay in that spot.
The Buffalo Bills got a statement win at Kansas City and moved to 7-6. While they still sit in the #11 position in the AFC, they had the best week. The aforementioned losses all benefited their playoff and division chances. The road will not be easy, however, with a tough matchup at home this week versus a Cowboys team that is rolling and closing the season at Miami. If they make the dance, they are the team no one wants to play. In some books, 16-1 is still available on Buffalo to win the AFC. That number is higher than it should be. I currently have them power rated as the third-best team in the AFC, and the gap between the Bills and the #1 AFC team, the Ravens, is minimal.
