AFC North
Baltimore Ravens: They beat the Jaguars and Dolphins to challenge for the top seed in the AFC
Baltimore plays Jacksonville and Miami in the final month of the season. Both teams, like the Ravens, are 6-2. But the Jaguars simply don't have the top-to-bottom talent the Ravens possess, and Miami hasn't been good against strong opponents on the road. Watch the Ravens win both of those crucial affairs to give themselves a chance at that first-round bye.
Cincinnati Bengals: They make the playoffs
That wouldn't exactly have been a bold call at the beginning of the season, but the Bengals started 1-3, they remain in last place in the AFC North, and they have a tough matchup with the Bills this weekend. Still, Joe Burrow has a 111.8 passer rating on the team's current three-game winning streak. You know he'll find a way.
Cleveland Browns: Deshaun Watson helps them make the playoffs as well
In other words, with the Jets fading, the Bills in trouble and the AFC South full of tumbleweed, the AFC North sends three teams to the postseason. But Watson is too good to not have some strong moments upon his return from a shoulder injury, and his defensive support is undeniable.
Pittsburgh Steelers: They avoid a losing record for 20th season in a row
Nine wins might not be enough to get to the playoffs in the AFC, but the Steelers should again be good for it despite their struggles this season on both sides of the ball. The defense is still jacked and getting on track, and that should be exacerbated by the return of standout defensive lineman Cameron Heyward. That'll at least get Mike Tomlin's team in the mix.

A lot is riding on the Cleveland Browns’ matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.
At 4-3, the Browns are very much in the playoff hunt – both as a division winner or as one of the three wild card teams. But the result of their Week 9 game could swing their chances to make the postseason by a lot.
The Browns have a 15.4 percent difference in playoff probability depending on if they win or lose against the Cardinals, according to Sumner Sports. A victory on Sunday would give the Browns a 49.8 percent chance to make the playoffs, but a loss would lessen that probability to 34.2 percent.

I'm going to remain an optimist regarding the Browns, but how exactly are the NY Jets fading (3 wins in a row), and the Bills in trouble?
The Bills could be in trouble with a loss in Cincy because they do have one of the toughest remaining schedules on paper.
Regarding the NYJets, they have just been finding a way, kind of like the dreaded Steelers.

I have zero faith in either team
I have zero love for either team lol.
I used to "kind of" pull for the Bills but after last season, I got a little sick of 'em. Mainly because they had ample time to leave a snowstorm, but chose not to. Their reward was getting an outdoor game (vs the Browns of course) moved indoors to Detroit, while Heinz Field & Fedex Field were unoccupied- I just thought that was dead wrong by Goodell.

Can you believe the Buffalo slugs tonight ? Some boo-birds in the stands. I stayed off SNF, MNF for a big change.
It as deja vu all over again. The favorite hosted a "lessor" team which missed an extra point putting it one point behind in the last two minutes only to drive down and kick the winning FG as time expired (of course it helped that the slugs inexplicably had 12 men on the field for the first missed FG try subtracting penalty yardage from the winning kick-ST coach is an idiot apparently because he can't count).

Steelers, Jags, Texans, Bengals
Win 3 and we're in.

Here are the Jaguars remaining games - Titans, Texas, Bengals, Browns, Ravens, Bucs, Panthers, Titans
