If Ray-Ray Armstrong Jersey the Bills lose to the Patriots and the Bengals beat the Ravens on Sunday, then Cincinnati will jump Buffalo on the strength-of-victory tiebreaker.That seeding breakdown would create the po sibility of Bills vs. Bengals in Greg Joseph Jersey Cincinnati in the divisional round.MORE: There is a wide range of teams the Bills could play because they could finish either second or third in the AFC.Buffalo's po sible first-round playoff opponents are the Patriots, Dolphins, Steelersand Ravens.The only way the Bills could have a rematch of their Week 18 contest is if the Patriots and Ravens both win Sunday, which would keep the Bills in the No. 2 seed while bringing New England up to the No. 7 spot. The Bills handled the Patriots 24-10 earlier in the season and demolished the Patriots 47-17 in the wild-card round in 2021, but it might be dangerous to give Bill Belichick a chance to go up against the same opponent in back-to-back weeks.Then there are the Dolphins, who have given the Bills fits in two matchups this year.

Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson played in Week 5, and a walk-off field goal gave the Bills a 23-20 win. Jackson's injury status could be the difference between a thrilling rematch and Baltimore needing Tyler Huntley to pull off a miracle.
