Bills remaining schedule<\/p>\n

The Bills, after playing the Bengals and Patriots, will be favored to win out in their final three games. They should be positioned to finish with at least 12 wins, which would ensure a wild card.<\/p>\n

Winning the AFC East would require making up two games on the Patriots and earnnng the division-record tiebreaker. That makes Week 15 a must-win game to earn a season series split.<\/p>\n
