    You can pretty much guarantee the Titans-Jags game will be Sunday night game next week.

    If the Steelers win tonight and Bills win tomorrow night, you figure the Bengals - Ravens game is one of the Saturday games.

    Can't guess what the other game would be. NFL doesn't like to make other games meaningless, so doubt it would be Bills - Pats (which could make about a half dozen games Sunday meaningless).

    Same for Packers - Lions.

    Maybe Eagles - Giants, which only would make Cowboys game irrelevant.

    Strange what tonight's game can do for us. We are either going to still be in the hunt for 7th spot or battling the Browns for 3rd place in our division.

    Better find a way to win this game with everything that happened today facing a backup QB as well who is not very good. I doubt they would put the Bengals and Ravens on a Saturday seeing the Bengals play tomorrow night. Having them play such a big game on a short rest is probably something they wouldn’t do.

    This would mean both the Buffalo Vs New England game, and the Bengals vs Ravens game to Sunday games.

    So, yeah, if the Steelers win tonight sure seems like a Saturday game is likely for them in week 18.

    Good point. Never thought about that. Could put that game on Sunday night, and Titans - Jags on Saturday night I guess. Doubt they'd want the Ravens on NBC two weeks in a row.

    I could easily see the Steelers moving to Saturday, along with the Jet/Dolphins in the same time slot

    I just hope the NFL does not screw around with us anymore if we win tonight. Hoping the 7th seed hopefuls play the same time.

    If we are going anywhere we better find away to get into th end zone when we are in the red zone. We are terrible and have been for awhile.

    I hope it's on the NFL Network, so I don't have to watch it.

    KC - Raiders game is Saturday also. Result of that game could make the Bills game Sunday meaningless.

    However things shake out, need the Bills to have something to play for Sunday.

    If Cincy beats Buffalo tomorrow and KC beats Vegas on Saturday, Bills won't get a bye no matter what and may take next week as their "bye" week, meaning they mail it in vs NE.

    Also if Bills win tomorrow and KC loses Saturday, Bills clinch the 1 seed and again may mail it in.

    Really need a Buffalo win tomorrow and KC win Saturday.

    Makes Cincy - Balt game for the AFCN and Bills having to win next Sunday.

    Especially since the announcers will be all over Lawrence's jock. They have been salivating over this moment for Lawrence and the jags to be relevant at all. Add to it the late season collapse by TN and it becomes a little more interesting.

    You can almost bank that the Steelers, Pats and Dolphins will all play at the same time, meaning the Steelers game won't be seen outside of PA and OH probably.

    Yea I was thinking all this out as well. The NFL didn’t do the Steelers any favors putting that Chiefs Vegas game on Saturday because like you said if the Bills lose tonight to the Bengals and the Chiefs win in Vegas they would clinch the 1 seed and homefield for the Bills would be out of reach. So with that being said the best thing that could happen is the Bills win tonight in Cincy and the Chiefs win against Vegas which then forces the Bills to win Sunday against the Patriots. If that happens I give the Patriots absolutely zero chance of winning in Buffalo with the 1 seed on the line. It would then come down to obviously the Steelers winning against the Browns at home and then the Mike White Skylar Thompson bowl with the Jets and Dolphins.
