    I heard someone say that with Kansas City winning, the Bills might rest their starters, potentially losing to NE.

    But my understanding is that if the Bills lose and Cincy wins, the Bills would miss out on the #2 seed.

    So I believe the Bills will fight for the win for 2 reasons:

    1. To get the #2 seed.

    2. To play and win for Damar Hamlin.

    I don't think the KC win is a negative in any way I can think of, unless I'm missing something.

    It’s a semi-negative however I’m with you…I think Bills will play for the #2 and want to win for DH. Let’s hope so anyway.

    And with a win,the bills will be in a neutral field in a potentiel matchup vs KC.

    If the Bills win, they will clinch a number 2 seed and potentially a second home game in the divisional round.

    If that divisional game is against Cincinnati, It will be a neutral site, if Cincinnati wins on week 18. It will be in Buffalo, if Cincinnati loses on week 18.

    Buffalo didn't play last week and they haven't practiced much. They aren't resting their guys. That's too much time off. They're going to come out firing.

    It’s a division rival who has thrashed the Bills for years. The Bills aren’t going to lay down this game

    Personally, the way the Bengals are playing, I'm not sure it matters what the Chiefs or Bills do.

    Hard to say how Buffalo will play this given recent events.

    That neutral field might be Pittsburgh, although it's a much smaller stadium seating wise than they would want. It's exactly halfway between the 2 cities.
