Bills play New England this week and not sure who they have after. Tennessee has the Rams so they might lose that one for sure.

Bills play the Dolphins next.
They already played Miami. They beat Miami 24-16.

Play them again in Miami
the bills other game is against miami (again) and tennessee has the rams and also the jags so could easily lose out
that being said the easiest way for the ravens to make the playoffs is to just win out against 2 bad teams

We need to beat the Colts and assuming Bills lose in NE, we have a breaker over them @ 9-7
But it's all beside the point because there is no way we finish with record any other than 10-6
nope in a 2 way tiebreaker at 9-7 the bills win because we'll have the same common games record but they will have better strength of victory - if they beat new england and lose to miami then we win the tiebreaker but not the other way round
so cool update: ravens now officially the 3rd best team in the nfl according to football outsiders and still the best team in the AFC according to their weighted DVOA metric (which skews towards recent form)
Seriously? That's a short span to play a team again for the 2nd time.
yeah the schedulers have not done the best job this year...

I remember in 2012 we played the Steelers twice in a 3 week span. But as far as this season is concerned, Saints and Falcons play each other this week after playing each two weeks ago.
Somebody else just played somebody 2 weeks apart. Can't remember who it was but yeah it's stupid to do that.

oh i thought we got that one but not 3 way 9-7
I remember back in the 90s the Packers played the Vikings 2 weeks apart.
i think we actually win the 3-way with tennessee and buffalo but we lose the individual 2-way ties at 9-7 (unless the bills loss is to miami)
Completely understand you thinking that way. They lost all 4 in the Fran Tarkington era.
I remember that as well. I’ve seen teams play each other to end a season and in the playoffs on back fo back weeks.
This is correct
Injury Report Update:
so maclin and davis are on it (maclin not practicing and davis limited) but the surprise names are anthony levine and maurice canady (both limited) so im hoping this is nothing major because canady has been a huge part of this defence since he returned and levine has been clutch as our first choice dimebacker all year
