The AFC playoff race is heating up, and Buffalo Bills fans are looking for guidance on who to support. With critical matchups approaching in Week 15, the outcomes may significantly influence Buffalo’s playoff aspirations.
Key Matchups for Week 15
Miami Dolphins vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Miami Dolphins will face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday, December 15, at 8:15 PM. Buffalo fans should cheer for the Dolphins. A Dolphins victory would keep Miami in the playoff conversation.
This scenario could alter playoff dynamics as Week 18 approaches, where significant matchups such as Bills vs. Jets and Dolphins vs. Patriots may influence the AFC East standings.
Critical Implications
- If Miami wins against Pittsburgh, it keeps their playoff hopes alive.
- A competitive matchup in Week 18 against the Patriots is essential for Miami’s chances.
Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals
In another crucial game, the Baltimore Ravens, sitting at 6-7, will take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who are currently 4-9. This game is scheduled for Sunday, December 14, at 1:00 PM. Bills fans should root for the Bengals in this matchup.
The Ravens are positioned as the No. 9 seed and in second place in their division. Their chances of making the playoffs are only 27%. A loss would sharply decrease their playoff odds to 13%.
Playoff Scenarios for the Ravens
