Here's the deal....and this is completely realistic.
The teams to beat in the AFC are as follows right now.
Top Tier: Denver, New England, Baltimore
Above Average (Always Competing): Pittsburgh, Houston, Cincinnati
On the Rise: Indianapolis
That's realistically 7 teams that are going to be fighting for 6 spots. You can maybe (with Alex Smith) put Kansas City in the On the Rise section. Even if the Chiefs somehow get into a WC spot.....they're going to playing a team like Baltimore, Houston Or Indy. That's a tough game on the road to have to win.
