Buffalo-KC-Cincy all can get to the Super Bowl, I see them equal, Chargers a longshot.
SF-Philly equal, slightly ahead of Dallas, Minny a longshot.
SO much depends on what is decided as it relates to the most important issue---the bye--- and home field too.
Announcement will be like when a game goes over, late in the game, and they say "some people are now happy, some are not".

Bengals got kinda screwed
Call it homerism but I don’t see how they make these games neutral with Chiefs, and then wouldn’t make Bengals/Bills neutral site either when we couldn’t finish our home game with them (which would have given us control of getting 2 if they won)
On top of that possibility of winning division but having to play Wild Card round on road is stupid.
It wasn’t going to be fair either way I guess.
Personally hope Bills still get the 1 seed from a Chiefs loss

I think they have to and will during the owners meetings or competition committee meetings.
I dont recall a season where NOT everyone played the same amount of regular season games.
Funny, the 1 time all season that the NFL puts up 2 monster teams during MNF, this crap happens. If this was bears vs redskins, then nobody would care as both cant make playoffs.
Also messing up fantasy football championships as well where leagues are having discussions how to pay out
Cincinnati Bengals ownership is pushing fellow NFL team owners to vote "no" to Thursday night's playoff proposal, multiple sources tell CBS Sports.
NFL owners are meeting at noon ET Friday to vote on the proposed postseason changes that would involve a neutral site AFC Championship Game in some scenarios, along with the possibility of a coin flip deciding the location of a potential Bengals-Ravens wild-card round game.
The latter point is what the Bengals take greatest issue with, according to sources. The league officially canceled the Bills-Bengals game and ruled it a no-contest. The league has already crowned the Bengals as AFC North champions regardless of the outcome of their Week 18 matchup against the Ravens.
If the 10-6 Ravens beat the 11-4 Bengals on Sunday, a scenario exists where the Ravens are the No. 6 seed and the Bengals are the No. 3 seed. In any other year that seeding should mean the game would be played in Cincinnati. But Baltimore would have won both games in the season series, and since the Bengals didn't play an equal number of games, the league has proposed that a coin flip would decide where that playoff game would take place.
Katie Blackburn, executive vice president of the Bengals, oversees the day-to-day operations of the team. She was recently appointed to the league's 10-member competition committee, and she voiced her concerns both on a call with committee members Thursday night and in an email to NFL membership later. Sources described the email as "lengthy" and "strong."
