Bills update

With the Ravens and Jags having lost -- but not the Broncos -- the Bills need to beat a likely undermanned Steelers squad at home -- Pittsburgh has wrapped up home field throughout the playoffs, win or lose -- and have either the Broncos (home vs. Indianapolis) or Jets (at St. Louis) lose.

A Broncos loss would leave them 9-7 to the Bills' 10-6 in that scenario. A three-way tie at 10-6 with the Bills, Broncos and Jets would eliminate the Jets based on its 7-4 record against common opponents with the Bills (8-3), the third tiebreaker.

We (Junior, Muffin and I) will be watching from a sports bar near my parents' place in Cape Coral, Fla. We leave New Years' Eve and return the next Wednesday.
