If the Bills were locked into the #2 seed they would be heavily incentivized to tank against New England. They'd be fine playing the Steelers too, but they can't control them as an opponent. The Dolphins at least have legitimate offensive threats in Tyreek and Waddle, the other two stink offensively. Losing to the Patriots to draw them again would be very wise, New England's offense is as bad as it gets.
