Lot of different scenarios are still possible that you can play around with. I'm gonna say(hope) that the Bengals win out and grab the #2 seed. I see KC as #1 , Buffalo as #3 , Jacksonville #4 , LA Chargers #5 , Baltimore #6 , and Miami #7 .I dont want to see Bengals vs LA Chargers in playoffs. To me they are the scariest team in AFC for Bengals. They present some serious matchup problems with Mack VS Adeniji and now (Bosa is set to return) VS Jonah . Also, they have those big WRs (Williams and Allen) that we seem to have issues with . + Herbert is just an impressive and hungry young QB.... id actually prefer the Chiefs or Bills just because I feel we match up better.
So, I think the most likely result is:
Wildcard Round:
Dolphins @ Bengals
Ravens @ Bills
Chargers @ Jaguars
Divisional Round:
Bills @ Bengals
Chargers @ Chiefs
That's my Final Four . ^^^^^
What would be interesting is if the Chargers dropped a game(say, to the Rams), then they could slide to #6 and have to travel to Buffalo instead of Jacksonville. That could send the Ravens to Jacksonville, for a rematch of that thriller a few weeks ago. I could see the Chargers having a shot at upsetting the Bills, which could set up a potential divisional round of Ravens/Jags @ Bengals and Chargers @ Chiefs . But that's more unlikely than the one I predicted above.
Who do you have for your Final Four AFC teams left standing?
