If anything a two week bye for the top NFC team might result in them getting a bit stagnant for their first game.
Bengals still have an outside shot at 1st seed, but the Raiders would have to beat the Chiefs which is unlikely.
I expect the league is hoping for Chiefs and Bengals win and a Bills loss, so 2/3 seed is all that needs to be determined, and I expect both teams might take a coin flip to decide that.
We see what happens this weekend
