Default Bills Propel Pats to a Likely #3 or #4 AFC Seed

Ironically, in a mirror image of New England's position last Sunday against Buffalo, it took a late interception by the same Bills to advance the Patriot's playoff picture. Already with the tie-breaker edge on the tied-for-2nd-in-division Bills, the Buffalo win virtually assures New England no worst than a #4 seed in the upcoming NFL playoffs.

Were people actually worried about this?

If the Patriots win this week, they will have a 3 game lead on everyone in the division (possibly 4 on the Jets) after 11 weeks.

The only other time in the Belichick era the Patriots have had more than a 2 game lead on the second place AFC East team after 11 weeks was 2007.

An initially tight race (all teams tied at 3-3 four weeks ago) has quickly turned into one of the easier ones.

Pretty sure that if we win the next 3 games and Buffalo loses at least 1 of the next 3, the division will be clinched.

Very likely unless Indy is for real.

Nothing is ever certain but this would be a Red Sox type collapse to not win the division.....considering the mathematical clinch can happen 2 weeks from Sunday. The Patriots will need to win their next 3 and have Buffalo lose one of their next two.

And to look further in advance: Baltimore has 2 against Pitt, NYG, Denver, San Diego and Cincy left on their schedule. Baltimore definitely has a tough road ahead. For Denver, they have a light schedule...any chance at the #2 is aided a lot by the earlier season win over them. Yet the Patriots D is worrisome to the point that even our favorable schedule makes the chance of grabbing a first round bye very murky.

Mentioning the NE Patriots in any context with that execrable MLB franchise should be a banable offense

It helps tremendously when the division is absolute garbage.
