-
If the playoffs started today, here is who would be in:
AFCE Patriots 12-2 #1 seed Clinched division
AFCN Bengal 11-3
AFCS Texans 7-7
AFCW Broncos 10-4
Wildcards: Steelers 9-5, Chiefs 9-5
In the hunt: Jets 9-5
Questions for the AFC:
1. Who will win AFC South. Texans lead but Colts, even Jags not eliminated
2. Who will win AFC West. Chiefs now just one game behind Broncos.
3. Which 2 of the probable 3 WC contenders will make it: Steelers/Chiefs/Jets
Note: Only NE and Cincy have absolutely clinced playoff spots. In theory Broncos could still lose playoff spot if they lose both of their remaining games..
AFCE: Redskins 7-7
AFCN: Packers 10-4
AFCS: Panthers 14-0 Cliched #1 seed and home field
AFCW: Cardinals 12-2 Clinched division
Wildcards: Seattle 9-5,Minnesota 9-5
In the hunt: Atlanta 7-7
Questions for NFC:
1. Who will win NFCE. Redskins lead, but both Giants and Eagles could still win
2. Who will win NFCN. Packers lead, but Vikings could still take it (or lose playoff spot altogether):
3. Can Falcons take Wildcard (need to win both and have Vikings lose both)
Notes: Carolina, Arizona, Green Bay and Seattle have all clinched playoffs.

The Playoff game matchups that would take place if the season ended now I believe would be:
AFC: Steelers at Broncos, Chiefs at Texans Pats/Bengals with bye
NFC: Seattle at Washington, Minnesota at Green Bay. Panthers and Cards with byes.
The "Race" for the #1 overall seed:
1. Titans 3-11
2. Browns 3-11
Chargers/Ravens/49ers/Cowboys 4-10
Games between contenders this week:
Redskins vs. Eagles important for NFCE race
Patriots vs. Jets Important for #1 seed...and Jets WC chances
Packers vs. Cardinals important for NFCN race
Giants vs. Vikings important for NFCE race, NFCN race, Viking WC chances
Bengals vs. Broncos important for AFCN race (Steelers could mathematically still win). Bengals bye. AFCW race, Broncos playoff chances.
Panthers vs. Falcons important for Falcons slim WC chances
Other games affecting playoffs:
Browns atChiefs.....Browns win strikes blow at Chiefs AFCW title chances and WC chances.
Steelers at Ravens. Ravens win strikes blow at Steelers AFCN chances and WC chances
Colts at Dolphins. Dolphins win strikes potential death blow to Colts AFCS chances
Texans at Titans. Titans win strikes blow at Texans AFCS chances
Rams at Seahawks. Rams win could hurt Seahawks chances of being the #1 wildcard. (at worst they would be #2)
Jaguars at Saints. Jags slim chance at AFCS title dashed with Saints win
In reality, there are only 4 games that have nothing to do with the playoff race. They are only for "draft positioning"..and pride
Chargers at Raiders
49ers at Lions
Cowboys at Bills
Bears at Buccaneers.

And none of it matters because the Super Bowl will be Seattle (if they stay healthy) and The Patriots again.
If Seattle can't get the running game going then the Panthers vs Patriots in the Super Bowl
AFC WEST
CHIEFS
AFC NORTH
BENGALS
AFC SOUTH
TEXANS
AFC EAST
PATRIOTS
WILD CARD STEELERS, Broncos
Final analysis Patriots go to Super Bowl
NFC WEST
CARDINALS
NFC EAST
REDSKINS
NFC NORTH
VIKINGS
NFC SOUTH
PANTHERS
WILD CARDS GREEN BAY, SEATTLE
FINAL ANALYSIS: Seattle or Panthers, depending on health of Players, Go to Super Bowl
