So when do we know?

I am watching NE now. Not impressive.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

What we know:

#1 Seed: Titans (bye)
#2 Seed: Chiefs

That is it. In terms of seeding spots secured.

However, there are some things that are CLOSE to being clinched.

#7 Seed: It is Pittsburgh unless the Chargers/Raiders game is a tie. If that happens, the Botls are the #6, the Raiders #7, and we play whomever does not win the AFC East. Bills win or Pats loss gives us the Pats.

The only way we don't get the AFC East loser is with a Bills loss/tie, Chargers win, + Pats win/tie.

I don't think the Raiders can get to #5. Correct me if I am wrong. If I have that right, if the Bills win or Pats lose, we get NE.

FWIW, Dolphins up 24-10.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

#1 Titans.
-------------
#2 Chiefs
#3 Bills
#4 Bengals
-----------
#5: Pats (if Raiders win) or LAC/LV tie; Chargers if they win.

[Essex Johnson]

We have NE if Chargers win if raiders win we have raiders

[Millhouse]

#Bengals are the 4 seed.

Opponent equation is simple now after Buffalo wins and New England loses.

Comes down to tonight ...

Raiders win: Bengals host LV
Chargers win: Bengals host NE
Tie: Bengals host NE

That is what I get for basing my post on a Pats SB Nation page.  

I stand corrected. 

Go Raiders.

I’ll take Raiders over the Hoodie.

They don't. If they tie, the Chargers are 1/2 game worse than NE. Higher seeded WC plays lower seeded DW.

Regardless, the Chargers can not overtake NE.

[TKUHL]

So as of now it looks like if the Raiders win we face them. If the Chargers win we face NE. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Really don’t want to go against that Raider D line.

[*bfine32*]

I'm saying regardless of opponent we get the 4:30 Sunday Game.

KC v. Pitt get Monday Night.

Absolutely. Me too. The Bengals only beat the Patriots once in the Marvin Lewis era; it was at Paul Brown Stadium in 2013.

We handled the Raiders handily in Vegas. Though it was close for a while. 

Pats did not look inpressive to me.  They lost their rookie DT who was top 10 in interior QB pressures.   

We avoided the Chargers, so that is a win.

Oh so there’s no way we can face Buff or the Chargers next week?

Damn sure can't face Buf and if Chargers get in they lose tiebreaker to NE.

Correct. We play the Pats if the Chargers win or tie with the Raiders, and the Raiders if they win.

SNF just confirmed this, just before Drew Brees answered the "Is there a favorite in the AFC" question by saying maybe KC because they've been there before, paused, and then said slowly "but the Cincinnati Bengals... this high powered offense is much watch and I think has what it takes"

Early forecast calls for crappy weather this upcoming weekend. I've constantly said: I want the Pats, but with crappy weather I'd prefer the indoor team

Really? Apparently some don’t remember the Pats and some crappy weather. Short lived but crappy.
