Regardless of all AFC teams, the one I want to see the least in the playoffs is Cincinnati. Need them to knock off Buffalo and then lose to anyone in the playoffs.

I'm with you on Miami, but hoping they make it. If they don't, I believe that will still give Pittsburgh strong life to get in as the #7. Seeing both the Ravens and Steelers make it into the playoffs is just nauseating for me as a Bengals fan.

Bengals are playing much better now late in the year although some injuries are becoming concerning. I believe the Bengals can play with and beat anybody (Bills this week), but also can expect them to be flat and choke one away as well. If they are "on" this week, I could see them defeating the Bills. They have to be "on" though.

I hear you with teams you'd rather not see in the playoffs. NFL is predicated greatly on matchups,, and the matchup I don't like for Cincy seeing in the playoffs is the Ravens. Division for with a tough defense that always brings it against Cincy. I'd rather avoid them if at all possible.

Division matchups in the playoffs suck. Never know how those games may go and you already have seen that matchup more times than you can count. Ravens would get bounced bad by Chiefs/Bills but I guarantee they'd give Cincy a real worry.
