New England Patriots (4-12) @ Buffalo Bills (10-6)
The Bills won as most people expected, but I’m proud of how well the Pats fought. This whole season, they could’ve given up, but hung in there and have played tough as of late. The Pats defense has been amazing this year, the clear weakness is their offense and special teams.
The Bills now can beat the Dolphins next week and earn the division title AND the 2 seed. Everyone was panicking and saying how bad they were just a couple weeks ago, and now they are on track to be right where we thought they’d be at the beginning of this season. Regardless of where they end up, they’re a team no one wants to play in the post season.
Miami Dolphins (11-5) @ Baltimore Ravens (13-3)
Wow, just wow. The Ravens keep playing better each week, even against great competition. They continue to surpass expectations and now are the one seed in the AFC and Lamar is the easy NFL MVP. Lamar being a 2 time MVP is an insane accomplishment as he’s only 26. The big thing for him now is playing well in the playoffs, as he and the Ravens have disappointed in the postseason his whole career. The AFC is wide open and this is as good a chance as they have had to win the AFC.
The Dolphins continue to struggle vs good competition and on the road. If they lose next week and are a wild card team – meaning they most likely have to play on the road throughout the playoffs – they won’t make it very far.
