AFC as it stands
1.Denver 9-1
2.New England 7-2
3.Indianapolis 7-3
4.Cincinatti 7-4
5.Kansas City 9-1
6.New York/Miami 5-5(jets have tiebreaker)
8.Pittsburgh/Tennessee/Baltimore/Oakland/San Diego/Cleveland 4-6, Buffalo 4-7
................
Pats beat Carolina to go to 8-2
Division winners. Denver, NE, and Indy are top 3. For one week Cincinatti will take the 3 seed before losing to the colts week 14. Denver beats NE, Tennessee, San Diego, Houston, and Oakland while losing at KC to go 14-2 and have the 1 seed. NE loses to Denver and at Miami to go 12-4 while beating Houston, Cleveland, Baltimore, and Buffalo. Indy beats Arizona, Cincinatti, Houston, Kansas City, and Jacksonville while losing to titans in a fresh off rematch. Because of the conference record tiebreaker, colts will get the first round bye and pats will play in wild card round. Chiefs lose remaining to redskins, colts, and chargers(game won't matter much) while beating chargers first go around, Denver second go around, and raiders to go 12-4 and take the first wild card spot.
AFC North:Two games could decide this division. Week 13 steelers at ravens. Steelers I think will beat Cleveland both times, Miami, and Cincinatti(in Pit). Bengals will beat chargers and vikings. I see steelers losing at GB and bengals losing at Pittsburgh. If steelers win in Baltimore and go 3-1 last four they go 9-7. If bengals 2-2 the next four they go 9-6. The last game against the ravens will determine who comes out of the north possibly. If bengals win, they go 10-6. If they lose, they go 9-7. Ravens could win next three but lions and pats will be the end of them. Dalton is 0-4 against the ravens(last year the last game was meaningless) and every other year this rivalry has been decided by a sweep. I think Pittsburgh, with a better outlook, will sweep the ravens and win in Baltimore and the last game goes down to the wire between the bengals and ravens. If bengals win, they win division at 10-6. If bengals lose, steelers win division at 9-7.
Last wild card:Tennessee has already beaten Pittsburgh and New York this year and likely only the two of them and Pittsburgh will be 9-7. Tennessee I think wins next two, including beating colts in a rematch just two weeks later, and wins last three against Arizona, Jacksonville, and Houston. Jets lose to ravens and then go 4-1 remaining losing at Carolina. They sweep Miami and beat the raiders and browns. Regardless of who finishes second in the AFC North Tennessee has the tiebreakers over both and gets the last wild card.
AFC Playoff Picture
1.Denver 13-3
2.Indianapolis 12-4
3.New England 12-4
4.Cincinatti or Pittsburgh 10-6/9-7
5.Kansas City 12-4
6.Tennessee 9-7
NFC as it stands
1.Seattle 10-1
2.New Orleans 8-2
3.Detroit 6-4
4.Philadelphia 6-5
5.Carolina 6-3
6.San Francisco/Arizona/Chicago 6-4(SF has tiebreak)
9.Green Bay/Dallas 5-5(Dallas has tiebreak)
Likely at 4-6 rams cannot come back but giants could.
Carolina will lose to pats.
Division winners:The NFC divisions are more complicated than the AFC. With a 3 game advantage, Seattle has likely won the west as they could only really lose two more games against saints and 49ers. But their defense is too much for the giants. Saints/seahawks will actually not decide the 1 seed and Seattle will end up with HFA at 14-2 or 13-3. Saints should get up 2 on Carolina after this week, and I think they should beat Atlanta, Carolina in one of the games and TB last game. I think they lose at Seattle or in a trap at St.Louis to go 12-4, not enough to beat Seattle overall. 12-4 should be enough for the south division. Detroit is tied with Chicago for the north but lions have the h2h advantage. Lions should win next two at home. With the better record, lions will finally beat GB on Thanksgiving. Lions should win their last three against ravens, giants, and vikings. Week 14 I see a loss at eagles, giving lions a 11-5 finish. Chicago has to win out to win division but with the rams coming off of a bye and Cleveland playing well defensively and both teams at home, I think bears will slip up against one of them to give Detroit the north.
NFC East:Eagles hold a slim half game advantage over Dallas. I think Dallas sweeps the giants and puts an end to that problem, to even with the eagles who will be on their bye week. Redskins at 3-7 are out. Eagles should win their next three. Week 16 and 17 get intresting. Dallas should beat giants, raiders, and packers(because its at home) but lose to the redskins week 16 in Washington. Like eagles, the bears games are deciding the division. If cowboys beat bears and eagles lose, its winner take all last game. If cowboys lose to bears and eagles win, eagles have clinched before last game. If both win, eagles are up 1 game and would have to win in Dallas. If both lose, same scenario. I think Dallas wins in Chicago and it becomes a elimination game last game. Giants at 6 losses cannot afford another one, they have @Washington, @San Diego, Seattle, and @Detroit in a four game stretch and don't think they're coming out of that better than 2-2.
Wild cards:Carolina has the first wild card atm and should have it after the pats game due to h2h win over SF. But they will lose to saints once remaining while beating the dolphins, bucs again, jets, saints in the other game, and falcons again to go 11-5. 49ers will win out with redskins, rams, seahawks(at home), bucs, falcons, and cardinals remaining. I don't think Arizona is gonna upset them last game as cards have barely beaten Carolina and Detroit at home while going 0-3 against the saints, 49ers, and seahawks. 49ers go 12-4. Chicago loses at rams and browns and that does them in as Carolina will have the conference record tiebreaker. Dallas puts the final nail in to give them virtually no shot at coming back. Packers lose to lions and cowboys to end up 7 losses and last game against bears decides the second spot in the north. Cards lose to colts and eagles and as well fall out of it.
1.Seattle 14-2 or 13-3
2.New Orleans 12-4
3.Detroit or Philadelphia 11-5
4.Philadelphia/Dallas 10-6 or Detroit 11-5
5.San Francisco 12-4
6.Carolina 11-5
1.Denver 9-1
2.New England 7-2
3.Indianapolis 7-3
4.Cincinatti 7-4
5.Kansas City 9-1
6.New York/Miami 5-5(jets have tiebreaker)
