As the Buffalo Bills enjoy their Week 12 bye, several key matchups could impact their position in the standings. Although the Bills aren’t playing, fans should pay attention to three games that could influence Buffalo’s playoff chances.
The first game to watch is the Carolina Panthers vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. While the Panthers’ chances of winning are slim, a Kansas City loss would allow both teams to have the same record, giving Buffalo the tiebreaker after their recent victory. Despite being 3-7, the Panthers are on a two-game winning streak, giving them some momentum.
Next, Bills fans should root for the New England Patriots to beat the Miami Dolphins. A win for the Patriots would help the Bills, as it would likely seal the AFC East division for them, especially given Miami’s recent two-game winning streak.
Finally, in the game between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Baltimore Ravens, a win for the Chargers would benefit the Bills. The Ravens currently hold the tiebreaker over Buffalo, and a Chargers victory would also increase pressure on the Chiefs in the AFC West race.
