How Bills Clinch Playoff Berth or Get Eliminated After Week 18 Results
All eyes will be on the Buffalo Bills in Week 18 as they are on the precipice of a playoff berth.
The team has a 94 percent chance to qualify, and they can do so both by winning and losing.
Simply put, a win against the Miami Dolphins will clinch not only a playoff spot, but the AFC East division title.

A loss will still get the Bills to the postseason, but they will need some help. Either the Pittsburgh Steelers will need to lose on Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens, who have already clinched the No. 1 seed, or the Jacksonville Jaguars need to lose to the Tennessee Titans, who have reason to lose in order to improve their draft position.
Given the fact that the Bills play on Sunday night, they will know going into the game whether or not they need a win to qualify for the postseason.
However, if both the teams fighting for a playoff spot win their respective game, then the Bills will need to win against the Dolphins just to get into the postseason. A loss will eliminate them from the postseason entirely despite winning 10 games.
The Bills and Dolphins are set to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET from Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday.
