AFC Playoff Picture

The NFC is basically all locked up, but there is a lot of work to day in the AFC. Only the Colts, Chargers, Patriots, and Bengals have secured a playoff spot, leaving 2 spot left.

1. Indianapolis Colts (14-1): at Bills
2. San Diego Chargers (12-3): vs. Redskins
3. New England Patriots (10-5): at Texans
4. Cincinnati Bengals (10-5): at Jets

Wild Card

5. New York Jets (8-7): vs. Bengals, win and they're in
6. Baltimore Ravens (8-7): at Raiders, win and they're in

----
Denver Broncos (8-7): at Chiefs, need win, Ravens loss or Jets loss, and Pittsburgh loss or Houston win

Pittsburgh Steelers (8-7): at Dolphins, need win, Ravens loss or Jets loss, and Texans loss

Houston Texans (8-7): vs. Patriots, need win, Ravens loss or Jets loss, and Broncos loss

Miami Dolphins (7-8): vs. Steelers, need win, Jets or Ravens loss and a lot of help


Jacksonville Jaguars (7-8): at Browns, need win, Jets or Ravens loss and a lot of help.

I would like to breakdown who the patriots could play, but there are actually 7 different teams the Pats could play in the opening round (Jags, Dolphins, Steelers, Broncos, Ravens, Jets, Texans). The only thing the Patriots are playing for this weekend is the 3 or 4 seed, which really doesn't make a big difference. I just want to see the Patriots avoid having to play the Ravens or Steelers in the opening round (especially the Steelers).
