If Miami loses to Baltimore and the Bills defeat NE this week, then Miami vs Buff is for the AFCE division.
This also means that wildcard seeding will still be at stake for Cleveland the last week. Cleveland my not be able to afford a loss if Miami is a wildcard.
Cleveland having to travel to Buff or KC for a playoff game could be very different than having to travel to the wretched AFCS division winner's place.
Cleveland may still have something important to play for week 18.
That said, one can only hope. Go Ravens and Pats this weekend.
