Which teams will make the playoffs in the AFC? (Obviously choose 6 teams)
Cleveland is going to go on a roll.....

I also think the Bills will tank, leaving the Raiders or Ravens to choose from. At some point the Raiders may wake up and become the team they were last season.
Chiefs only have two road games left though, and one is against the Jets. So I don't see them blowing the division.Steelers and Pats are the only locks for me. Chiefs are on a downward spiral that might result in LAC or OAK catching them, but I ultimately think the Chiefs will win the division. Either the Jags or Ten will win the division and the other will probably get a WC spot. Last WC spot will probably be Baltimore's to lose after seeing how the Bills played Sunday.
Predicted Seeding:
1. Patriots
2. Steelers
3. Chiefs
4. Titans
5. Jaguars
6. Ravens

No but that's one game. A lot more would have to happen for them to lose the division.Did you see them losing to the Giants yesterday?
their schedule saves themGonna say this in the most arrogant and douchey way possible: The Chargers and Raiders are not going to cross 7 wins. It is delusional to think they're winning the division.
The Chiefs are not going to lose out. Chiefs are a great lesson for recency bias. In fact, they may not lose another game until the playoffs with how soft the schedule is.
1-5 start? Finish 11-5. 9-0 start? Finish 11-5. Start 5-0? 6-4.
Won't be any saving needed I suspect. I really don't see this much differently than I did 5-0. 1-4 is bad, but I don't think it's by any means fatal. I have a bridge to sell anyone if they believe the offense fails to score 20 points a game going forward.their schedule saves them
oak still has dall/phi/den/nyg
lac has dall/was/cle/nyj
kc has buf/nyj/mia/den yikes
they all play each other

Yes but Buffalo and Oakland are at home, where they are much better.They play better teams than the Giants in some of these last 6 games. Games I could see them losing are the Buffalo, Oakland and Denver games. But by the time they get to Denver, the division might already be won.
The Cowboys with Smith, Zeke, and Lee are a top 10 team. And they were so by DVOA. The other two "bad losses" I'll acknowledge, but implying the Cowboys weren't a good team, who was at home btw, with their then roster construction kind of flies in the face of about a 20 game sample size.Just look at the teams the Chiefs lost to. Pittsburgh, Oakland, Dallas and the Giants. Only 1 of those teams are any good right now. If they lost to Oakland once, they can again. Division games are always tough as well. They still have 3 of those left.

It's not really debatable that KC is better at home than away.Eh, that's debatable. They are 3-1 at home. 3-3 away. 24.5 PPG at home, 27.3 PPG away. Their schedule has been very easy aside from the Patriots, Eagles and Steelers games. Honestly, KC should be 9-1, maybe 8-2 right now.

Yet they were a top 10 DVOA team going into the Chiefs game, and had been such for about a 20 game span. Yes the Cowboys D sucks; especially when Lee is out, but the offense when healthy is also quite good. The Cowboys have a top heavy formula, but it did and still does work. We can pretend this isn't the case kind of like people did in 2015 when Romo was out.Cowboys haven't been a good team all year. Certainly not as good as they were last year. Can't beat anyone of substance except for the Chiefs and they are not the Chiefs of weeks 1-5. Cowboys' D sucks against the run, they allow 24 PPG and have all season. Sean Lee only missed weeks 4 and 5. Smith missed 10 and 11. They didn't miss that much time. Cowboys defense has sucked since week 2.
