If The Playoffs Started Today 12/6/11

If the playoffs started today, the following teams would be in:
AFC
East: Patriots
North: Ravens
South: Texans #1 seed
West: Broncos
Wildcards: Steelers, Bengals
In the hunt: Jets, Titans, Raiders
NFC
East: Cowboys
North: Packers #1 seed * have already clinched division
South: Saints
West: 49ers * have already clinched division
Wildcards: Bears, Falcons
In the hunt: Lions, Giants
Upcoming games involving contenders:
Houston @ Cincinnati
New Orleans @ Tennessee
Chicago @ Denver
Oakland @ Green Bay
NY Giants @ Dallas
FYI, if the final standings stay the same way as they are above, 5 teams who did not make the playoffs last year would be in the playoffs this year: Bengals, Broncos, Texans, 49ers, Cowboys. That would be like the 15th year in a row that that has happened. Four teams from last year are pretty certain to not repeat: Chiefs, Seahawks, Eagles, Colts. The swing team in the AFC is the Jets. If they get in over the Bengals and Titans and Raiders that number would be reduced to 4. In the NFC if either the Giants or Lions make it over the Bears and Falcons you could add another team that didn't make it last year.
