Matchup observations for Week 17 of the NFL season

Every week, in preparation for their Touchdown Wire Matchup Preview Podcast, Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield put together a show rundown based on their own tape observations and statistical takeaways. We thought our readers would find it of interest, so here’s our matchup notes for Week 17 of the NFL season, and the playoff permutations thereof!

Dolphins at Bills

Dolphins will make the playoffs with a win in this game. They could also clinch a wild-card spot if the Ravens, Browns or Colts lose. The Bills have already clinched the AFC East and are likely to be the two-seed or three-seed in the AFC, depending on what happens with the Steelers.
