I think it’s more likely 9 gets you in than needing 11.Looking at standings/upcoming games ... 11 wins may be needed in the AFC.
Oakland could go 11-5
They have 3 road divisional games they arent going 11-5 lol
I can easily see them losing to NYJ this week.They are playing better than every team they play except KC. If we were looking at that schedule we would be salivating.

3x Ruggs, 2x Shenault, 1x Higgins. 100% WR.
I don't see all 3 of the Colts, Texans, and Raiders getting to 10 wins. All three would need to go 4-2. Texans and Colts play a game against each other, so the loser of that game is going to have to go 4-1 to reach 10-6.Indy: @ Houston, Tennessee, @ Tampa, @ NO, Carolina, @ Jacksonville.
Houston: Indy, NE, Denver, @ Tennessee, @ Tampa, Tennessee.
Oakland: @ Jets, @ Chiefs, Tennessee, Jacksonville, @ Chargers, @ Denver.
KC: Bye, Oakland, @ NE, Denver, @ Chicago, Chargers.
Conclusions: These are really easy schedules, we should be concerned. Oakland could go 11-5. The Titans will be kingmakers. We're probably looking at needing to beat out Indy/Houston for the 6.

I agree the Raiders schedule isnt brutal. There are a lot of average teams and mediocre teams, but the Raiders aren't a dominant team either, so a couple of those 'should be wins' can very easily turn into losses.
Of course, I'm just saying 10-6 should be enough to get in.The same could be said for the Bills too. They have to go 3-3 to make it. The scary thing is now they play teams with good defenses. I would worry about the offense being able to score.
Probably not.Looking at standings/upcoming games ... 11 wins may be needed in the AFC.
KC would be an interesting matchup. Their defense is straight up bad, and they dont have a great rushing attack. We matchup pretty well with them. Of course the offense and Allen will need to continue to improve. Also, wouldn't surprise me to see Reid outcoach McDermott badly.Probably not.
Pittsburgh isn't going far with Mason Rudolph. The South teams will trade wins. I don't buy Oakland at all, their record is at least as inflated as the Bills is.
10-6 would very likely be enough, even if the Bills lose at Pittsburgh.
All of which to likely get destroyed @ Baltimore or Kansas City... but, we'll worry about that when we get there.

Dont think we have a chance against the Ravens. Just a terrible matchup.
Chargers zone D gave the Chiefs fits last night and Mahomes had one of his worst games. LA wins that game easily if they don't spend all night shitting all over themselves.Buffalo would not match up well against KC at all. McDermott plays zone defense which is great against mediocre QB's...not so good against elite throwers.
Buffalo's D has not faced a top end offense yet so I guess we will soon see with Dallas and Baltimore whether Buffalo's D is elite or just good.
I dont doubt KC will put up points, but their defense is bad enough to where we can play keep up. Of course, that requires the offense to continue to show growth and prove last week wasnt just a blip against a bad defense.Buffalo would not match up well against KC at all. McDermott plays zone defense which is great against mediocre QB's...not so good against elite throwers.
