and the Chiefs of course :thumb:
Don't know if we can count on any of these teams for an upset, but even 1 or 2 would be nice :(
AFC East
I honestly don't think we have to worry about a wild card coming from this division. So I'm almost thinking we should hope Indy beats NE this week, as Indy will likely win their division anyways. For now it looks like NE will probably take the East, but it may not hurt for Indy to push them back even further.
4. New England 4-3 (3-3 AFC, 1-0 Div.)
Ind, @Mia, NO, @KC, NYJ, @Buf, TB, @NYJ, Mia
I don't think any of the other teams in the division are even worth mentioning here, unless someone goes on a run. Looks like there will be one team from the East in the playoffs IMO.
AFC North
This division gets a little tricky. Cincy leads the division, but they have played two quality teams (Pit & Jax) and have lost both contests. And, their schedule seems to get tougher from here on out. Pittsburgh's schedule seems to get easier from here on out. We can only hope that at least one of these teams starts losing some games. For now I don't see any reason to mention Baltimore or Cleveland.
3. Cincinnati 6-2 (3-2 AFC, 1-1 Div.)
@Bal, Ind, Bal, @Pit, Cle, @Det, Buf, @KC
5. Pittsburgh 5-2 (5-2 AFC, 2-0 Div.)
@GB, Cle, @Bal, @Ind, Cin, Chi, @Min, @Cle, Det
Again, we just need a clear-cut winner of this division, with the other team falling off the face of the Earth.
AFC South
Again this might get tough because Jacksonville has what seems to be cupcake schedules from here on out, and Indy doesn't seem to be slowing down.
1. Indianapolis 7-0 (5-0 AFC, 3-0 Div.)
@NE, Hou, @Cin, Pit, Ten, @Jax, SD, @Sea, Ari
7. Jacksonville 4-3 (3-2 AFC, 0-1 Div.)
Hou, Bal, @Ten, @Ari, @Cle, Ind, SF, @Hou, Ten
Do you think Jacksonville is going to lose 4 of their remaining? We can only hope...
AFC West
Everyone in our division still has a chance. I guess you could say that for any division, but it is the most true coming from the West.
2. Denver 6-2 (4-1 AFC, 2-0 Div.)
@Oak, NYJ, @Dal, @KC, Bal, @Buf, Oak, @SD
6. Kansas City 4-3 (3-2 AFC, 1-2 Div.)
Oak, @Buf, @Hou, NE, Den, @Dal, @NYG, SD, Cin
8. San Diego 4-4 (3-2 AFC, 2-1 Div.)
@NYJ, Buf, @Was, Oak, Mia, @Ind, @KC, Den
9. Oakland 3-4 (2-3 AFC, 0-2 Div.)
@KC, Den, @Was, Mia, @SD, @NYJ, Cle, @Den, NYG
--------------------------
Hopefully, Cincinnati will be exposed and start losing some games as they play stiffer competition. They started strong enough that a weak finish may still lead them into the playoffs. They do have 5 losable games in that schedule. However, I don't see Pittsburgh losing any more than 3 games that they have left.
I don't think anyone is going to slow Indy down, so we really need a couple teams to step up and beat the Jags. They have some really weak teams they play on the road, but maybe they'll drop a couple of those, and then lose to Indy and one of Houston, Baltimore or Tennessee at home.
As for ourselves, we just have to keep winning. It will be tough, but I still think we could find ourselves in with a 10-6 record. Of course that isn't a guarantee, so in the meantime go Ravens, Packers, Texans, and Jets! :thumb:
