NFL Week 18 schedule

The Patriots-Bills game will kick off at 1 p.m. ET. The game will air on CBS.

The Patriots have two paths to the playoffs. If they beat the Bills, they will be the No. 7 seed. If they lose to the Bills, they can claim the No. 7 seed if the Jets beat the Dolphins, the Browns beat the Steelers, and the Jaguars beat the Titans.

The Bills are competing with the Chiefs and Bengals for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. They face Cincinnati on to close out Week 17. If Buffalo wins that game, they can clinch the No. 1 seed and home field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win over the Patriots or a Chiefs loss on Saturday to the Raiders. If the Bills lose to Cincinnati, they drop to the No. 3 seed and would need a win over the Patriots and the Bengals and Chiefs both losing in Week 18 to clinch the No. 1 seed.
