Playoff Picture

[Laimbeer40]

One week left to go in regular season and we are ending with double headers. Let's see how the playoff picture looks...

AFC

1. Tennessee 13-1 (Holds a 100 point lead over OAK but a tougher week ahead with MIA/CHI on the docket)
2. Oakland 13-1 (Easy opponents this week. They have to put up big points or hope TEN stumbles to grab the 1 seed)
3. Cincinnati 11-3 (Pretty much locked into the 3 seed)
4. Baltimore 9-5 (Tough game vs ATL this week to go with a layup vs PIT. Due to points scored BAL could drop to the 6 seed with a loss vs ATL)
5. Kansas City 8-6 (Rough slate vs CIN and WAS this week. They could very easily get bounced this week)
6. Miami 8-6 (Games vs TEN and DET are going to push them. They are in the same situation as KC)
------
7. Indianapolis 7-7 (Game vs CAR should be easy but it's a toss up vs MIN. They have impressive Points Scored if it comes to a tiebreaker)
8. LA Chargers 6-8 (Should be able to win vs Seahawks and Giants. An 8-8 record might get it done. Too bad they sat almost 100 pts on the bench last week if it comes to a tiebreaker)
9. Seattle 6-8 (This would be a longshot for sure. But mathematically they might have a chance)

NFC

1. Dallas 14-0 (Strong chance of finishing undefeated)
2. Minnesota 13-1 (The 2 seed isn't a sure thing as they are facing two teams still in the playoff picture with IND and TB)
3. New Orleans 12-2 (Crossing their fingers that MIN slips up so they can get a bye)
4. Detroit 10-4 (What a turnaround! GB & MIA are both formidable opponents this week but it would take a catastrophe for them to miss the playoffs)
5. Washington 10-4 (Game vs KC is a toss up but should have an easy win vs PHI)
6. Tampa Bay 9-5 (In a good position with their points scored but a game against MIN looms large)
-----
7. Atlanta 9-5 (Would be challenging for them to advance. Facing BAL & NO this week. But hey with a big week they can correct all of their challenges)
8. Arizona 8-6 (Not going to win any tiebreakers on points scored so they basically have to beat undefeated Dallas to advance. No biggie)
